WordPress 7.0 delays, EmDash, dynamic navigation, TurboQuant, refrigerator UX, marmalade, Instagram Plus and strawberries. About a month ago I heard a loud buzzing as I walked past my garden. The sound of a hummingbird flying nearby. Then I saw they were building a nest in my garden and it was very close to a window. This meant I could easily watch the hummingbirds without disturbing them. About a week after the nest was built, a single egg arrived. The next day brought a second egg. Two weeks passed and the first egg hatched. Then a day later, the second baby came out of its shell. I’ve included photos of the mama looking over the nest and the two babies a day or less old. Of course there is plenty of other news from the last week so check out all the stories below.
