It’s a little surreal watching Kevin recap the current CSS-Tricks situation. It’s been rollercoastery after DigitalOcean’s acquisition. Thoughts: I have zero background knowledge of what’s going on. Just thought I’d share my gut.

I’ll be at Axe-Con 2027
What? Axe-con ’27: The world’s largest digital accessibility event. Where? At your computer. When? February 23-27, 2027 Who? Me! I’m a keynote speaker along with Jennison Asuncion, Co-Founder of Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD). There will be 70+ other amazing presenters as well I’m sure that will be announced soon. Why? Because it matters.
The Avocadinator
I think I bought this thing at some grocery store endcap or something. The magic is that it can do all three advocotasks: Amazing! All in one! My review: I actually kinda like it. I do reach for it when I have this job. But I’ve shown it to several people who have almost viscerally […]
Which Rude is it?
The commerical airport we use here in Bend, Oregon is actually in Redmond, Oregon. Flights from here generally depart very early. It think it’s because they need to make it to bigger airports to make connections to further-away places. Flight typically depart at 4:30-6:30 AM. They want your bags an hour before departure, and the […]
The Four Tiers of Tab Importance
Arc is the greatest web browser ever, and has been tragically moved-on-from by The Browser Company of New York-come-Atlassian. I’ve been back on it the last month or so though. It’s still very usable as they keep the Chromium version updated. I just really like it. It’s so good. My second favorite is Zen because […]
Underdesk Treadmill
I pulled the trigger on an underdesk treadmill. Basic research suggested GoPlus is a decent one. I was hoping it would be $300-400 USD. Turns out this one is just $119.99. So cheap it had me a little worried, like it was going to be cheap junk, but I pulled the trigger anyway. It took […]
I’m done with this podcast! (UX request)
I’m a good 50/50 split on music and podcasts while I’m driving. So lots of podcasts! I love them! I use Overcast, and it’s got a decent CarPlay app. So I see this screen a lot: It shows 3 podcasts I’ve started and 5 of the most recently published podcasts to choose from. THIS IS […]
46
It’s my birthday! Well, it was a couple of days ago. I was busy. Here’s an <ol> element that I made all by myself.
Clips from Hacker News Thread
Instead of our real launch blog post, my little “I should probably mention this on my personal website” post is the one that hit Hacker News. Nevertheless, people got the message. What I loved about CodePen was just being able to try out something really quick and simple. But the new interface makes me feel […]
Outburst
Just had a little trip up to my favorite city of Juneau, Alaska. So lovely. Here’s just one story from the trip. There is a Big Thing going on there right now which is essentially an impending flood that is going to happen any day now. It’s an “Outburst Flood” or GLOF (“glacial lake outburst […]
Email from Apple: We’re reaching out to let you know that the iPhone Upgrade Program is coming to an end. Thank you for being a loyal member. Awwww. Sad trombone. I’ve been on this program for as long as I can remember. Every year you just send back your old phone and get the new […]
CodePen 2.0
Noting perhaps my largest personal career accomplishment, which is launching CodePen 2.0. Far more work, believe it or not, than the entire creation of the original CodePen. This isn’t the place to describe every detail of what we did and why we did it. If you’re interested, perhaps our Why 2.0? podcast or the What’s […]
