I love HTML, CSS, and reasonable JavaScript. I’ve been writing them since 2003’ish and they’ve been paying my bills since 2005.

I’m a dad of three, husband of one, and business partner of two.

I’m from slightly-north-of-Boston, about 40-something years old, and a big fan of lunch.

Today I discovered https://www.whocanuse.com and I wanted to yell it to the world, but 56 people will have to do.

Today someone was able to get inside the locked building that my office is in, walk up to the second floor, look past the very obvious my company name that’s on my door, step inside and say “Hi, is this [name of local insurance company that’s actually block away]?”

I just hired the brightest data-vis minds the world has ever known to produce this line graph that perfectly describes a problem I'm having.

@cferdinandi All of these “web components in small steps/chunks” posts are wonderful. Thank you so much.

The 10 year old and the 8 year old are playing Monopoly a few feet away.

8 year old: "You owe me $200."
10 year old: "I don't have $200!"
8 year old: [ silence ]
10 year old: "I don't want to sell some of my properties!"

Reminds me of another child.

Have any of you been able to get a pound of lightly salted cashews to last more than an hour or two?

My wonderful spouse is on the other couch having an issue with 2FA and she’s already looked at me, twice, like it’s my fault.

Today at AccessU I weighed in on a group discussion and one of folks said they were surprised I wasn’t more cynical about the topic. Someone else in a separate chat commented how measured I was in my responses from what they expected. Another wondered why I wasn’t swearing.

I get the sense my online persona might be a lot gruffer than I am IRL. Might need to tweak one of those.

@sarajw @aardrian Literally one of my favorite people online, and the directness is part of the reason why.

Hey, what are the cool kids doing for web hosting these days?

@sarajw @braindouche I literally considered posting it again, now, as a reply because it works!

I'm often a big smug about not owning a car, but the buses are totally messed up this week (and possibly for several weeks to come) so I'm now not feeling smug at all, just grumpy.

@sarajw I’m selling a motorcycle if you’re interested. Slots nicely between not owning a car and owning a car. And makes you even more cool.

I reckon next next week I’m gonna make The Cascade into a separate (but simple) website and polish things up. Sounds like folks are enjoying it quite a bit!

@fonts I’m someone who enjoys it via its RSS feed (because I’m in a No More Email, Please phase of life).

I've not mentioned plantar fasciitis for a while.

After exhausting all the usual options (stretches, insoles, massage gun), I started wearing barefoot shoes. A few months ago I got an outdoorsy pair that have flexibility and a roomy toebox, but thicker grippier soles and more insulation.

The single point of pain just forward of the heel that's a classic PF symptom is largely gone.

I have achier feet at the end of the day as they're doing more work. But I think it's a win!

@sarajw Mind sharing a link to the shoes?

I'm so happyyyyyyyyy!!!

A profile photo of the cargo e-bike taken in front of a wide part of Hamburg's canals or maybe the north of the Außenalster. It's a long tail, big wheel at the front, chunky basket, two seats on the back behind the saddle with a foot rest, padding and guard rails.

@bramus Have you come across anyone using the technique you've written up here ( https://scroll-driven-animations.style/demos/scroll-shadows/css/ ), but on the x-axis?

I'm trying to adjust and utilize your wonderful code for horizontally-scrolling table wrappers, but failing to make it work.

I appreciate the YT video playlist on the topic!

The 8 year old is having existential thoughts. On the way home from soccer practice:

Him: what was it like before I was born?

Me: we had your brothers, everyone was a bit younger, etc.

Him: no, I mean, what was it like? Was everything just black?

Me: oh, are you asking what it was like for you? You didn’t exist.

Him: [ the biggest “wtf” face a kid can make ] I don’t get it.

Me: yeah, you didn’t exist before you were born.

Him: that’s… that doesn’t make sense.
