Trust Requires Trust. Who Do YOU Trust?
If ‘the future’ is trust. Who/what - do you trust? I mean really really trust? And why?
I’ve been doing this every year since 2019.
My 8th for 2026 will be out in a few days time and looking like another alliterative year when reviewing my draft.

Email design is a special kind of hell. While the rest of the web has moved on to modern CSS, flexbox, and grid layouts, email clients are still stuck in the dark ages. You’re forced to use table-based layouts, inline CSS styles, and work around the limitations of Outlook (which still renders emails using the Word HTML engine from 2007). It’s enough to make you want to just send plain text and be done with it.
