Were you all just gonna let me keep on living without telling me about the rch
unit?
This is so insanely useful for one specific thing I ended up fixing with JS the other day.

I know it’s time to take a break when I start pulling this stunt:

Put together a links page on my site today. A curated collection of my bookmarks and findings while surfing the web.
Watch your step. There are rabbit holes!
Do let me know if you have any more links I should check out.
Yet another step up for the next year. We’re skipping 1080p and aiming straight for 1440p!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
My plan for 2025 is to put out more everything and focus on what sticks. The goal is to experiment, learn, and double down on what works.
2024 has very much been a year of general experimentation and exploration for me. Now I want to start testing things more aligned with my goals and putting the knowledge I gain to use!
I’d be rich if I got a dollar every time I read OpenAI as OpenAPI and OpenAPI as OpenAI. Drives me loopy.
I love the process of creating and refining things to perfection!
The OODA (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) loop is a powerful framework—not just for decision-making, but for building better products and experiences.
It’s also invaluable in avoiding wasting time building things that nobody wants or needs.
I ensure I write crap that I don’t publish so that if I ever become a super famous writer and then cark it, there’ll be something to tack to the end of special editions.
Still a bit of work to do, but I’ve put together a firehose of my web activities and mirrored many of my microblog posts to my site. Trying to embrace the IndieWeb a bit further.
Sloppy AI-generated thumbnail images serve as a good litmus test for whether something is worth clicking.
Seriously, it’s great to know what is gonna be slop without even having to even click through.
Instead of pulling up the ladder behind you, why not add some more rungs or lower it a bit for the next person? Helping others succeed is not just a great way to give back—it creates a stronger, more inclusive community for all. Let’s build each other up.
Received my physical diploma in the mail! I truly am a fully licensed front-end developer!
My article on HTML’s legacy colour parsing was featured on Manuel Matuzović’s HTMHell today. 🎉
For those unfamiliar, the HTMHell Advent Calendar is a fantastic publication bringing together authors from around the world to share insightful articles on web development topics like security, accessibility, UX, and performance.
In my article, I dive into the quirks of HTML’s legacy colour parsing, exploring just why the value ‘chucknorris’ outputs red and talk about the resilience of the web.
Lost my pet chicken of 8 years today. She was with me from primary school all the way through high school and beyond.
She hasn’t been well these past few days. Today when I came out to see her, she really wasn’t well but was still hanging on. I think she was waiting for me to see her before she went.
I picked her up and cradled her for a while before she passed in my arms. There is a bit of comfort knowing I was with her in her last moments and that she wasn’t alone.
I’ll miss you Garbin. Love you.
I might have neglected to re-add the analytics script to the head of my website. That’s a few days of data I won’t be getting back…
