Snook

I've been dealing with a sore achilles but it's fine after I've been walking for a bit. I feel like I'm reenacting the scene from The Usual Suspects where my limp magically fades away as I walk down the street.

It’s crazy to think with 2027 just around the corner that it’s almost 2030 when 2020 was just a couple years ago.

You Can See Everything is such a fascinating film.

Got some tickets to a game from my financial advisor. Mentioned this to my friends and they joked, "Here's some tickets we bought with your money!" And, like, they're not wrong.

Happy Extended US Tax Filing Day.

Reading this, I see why Apple got rid of theme-color support. But not loving how they seem to be solving this. mikepiontek.com/journal/ipho...

Planning a trip around restaurants is stressful, trying to get reservations at hard-to-book places, but so satisfying when it works out.

Here's my light/dark toggle. Right next to my font-resizer setting, and my theme setting, and my print button, and my share buttons, and my...

Starbucks got me into loving coffee but loving coffee got me off Starbucks.

"Ragweed is high."

Safari gets rid of the themed address bar in full screen mode? But why?!

"If you complain within two months of discovering the fault, the complaint will always be timely."

Wrote a couple sentences, using a semi-colon. Does a semi-colon feel right? Maybe an em-dash. Nah, a period might be best. Had a thought that it would be nice to ask an editor a quick question like this. Is this where AI would be helpful? I asked AI and it suggested a semi-colon. Okay then.

Personal accomplishment: got Starglass camo on 30 guns so I can start getting Absolute Zero. But have now lost the desire to get the next set. That was enough grinding. #warzone

I have a custom 404 page. If you go to /404, it's technically a 200, even though it says it's a 404. I could probably fix/change that but this amuses me.

A one-off that's an off-by-one joke.

consumers distributing could totally make a come-back.

Time for a new Mac. I downsized everything to a Mac mini but would like some portability back and an iPad isn't really hitting the spot. Looking at a MacBook and feeling like Apple does a poor job of differentiating their products.

Added next/previous post to the blog. I'm on the fence about it because the posts aren't a linear story. I feel like random posts or no posts might be more appropriate.

With the new design, I'm going through to add some slash pages. Newly added: My AI Statement snook.ca/ai

I decided to change the fonts. I'm happier with the results. snook.ca/everything/f...

I've been enjoying playing with scroll-based animations but implementations are finicky across browsers and I don't love that Firefox still has it behind a flag. It would be nice to be able to style element X that isn't a child of view-timeline.

Great post on AI but I'd also like to mention that I like the hover transition on the font-weight. ky.fyi/posts/ai-bur...

When I cancelled my Adobe subscription, they said that I'd still have access to Adobe Fonts but it's not clear which fonts are only available via a subscription. (It says only 5500 of the 30k fonts would be available.)

What're people using for a NAS these days? I'm thinking of going local media instead of relying on the cloud so much.

The problem with social media algorithms and April Fools jokes is that the jokes appear long after the day is over.

OH: You went from CI/CD to YO/LO.

I appreciate that Sara tracked down this post as it helps provide some context on what's really interesting about this library. I can see the scenarios where it can be helpful—like infinite lists but ugh, I dislike infinite lists, too.

Congrats, I guess, on building a layout engine that is demonstrably worse, feature-wise, than what we already have to solve some edge cases you've run into. You sure showed those CSS zealots a thing or two.

Managed to sleep in until 9:30am and was pleasantly surprised until I realized the clocks jumped ahead. I guess I didn't sleep in as much as I thought.

I'm down to owning just 4 domains and I'm tempted to drop it down to just one.

Renewing a .ms domain went from $45/yr to $80/yr. That's quite the jump in one year.

Enjoying some Octomore 10.1 on this fine afternoon, keeping me warm inside while it's cold outside.
