Can’t decide if I want to enact a house style rule to capitalize the “i” in internet on my blog. Lowercase probably adheres more to modern style but I like the way capitalizing it makes me feel like I’m in the 90s.

I was going to make a pithy post that I wanted a programming language that, rather than reporting errors, would just do its best to run the code.
I forgot about HTML and CSS.
Technology we have: Hallucinating artificial intelligence that can plagiarize art.
Technology I wish we had: A version of PHP that would tell me I forgot a semi-colon rather than sending me on a wild goose chase.
Another album that turned 20 this year is Jack Johnson’s On and On.
Spotify Wrapped, or as Last.fm calls it, just another day.
I’m *web design* years old.
I live in Mississippi, USA but apparently I’m really into the Portland scene. 😆
I’m so old that the tag I use in my bookmarks app for web dev stuff is #WebDesign.
Officially have fiber internet! Now for the break up.
*hey comcast, we need to talk.*
Anyone know of a good DOM diffing util I can use in a TypeScript project? Preferably zero dependencies.
This is for rendering web components.
I'm getting a fiber internet connection tomorrow!
The Kirby 4 launch made me reminisce about how I first found it a decade-ish ago. I was looking to replace a similar file-based CMS called Stacey (I seem to remember a little drama between Kirby and Stacey but I might be wrong).
Another old CMS I was considering at the time was Indexhibit, which apparently is still kicking. https://indexhibit.org/
Arc users: do you see random pages go blank when scrolling to a certain point?
For example this page goes blank on me about a third of the way down. https://www.amazon.com/Apple-MX532AM-A-AirTag/dp/B0933BVK6T/
Ever since the iOS 17 update that dropped the “Hey Siri” requirement, my HomePod only activates about a fourth of the time. I don’t know what happened but it’s almost unusable now.
A program that turns a Bear note into a webpage styled with Water.css. Call it Water Bear and its logo is a tardigrade. #AppIdea
I’m investigating the pros/cons of using web components directly vs. using Lit, but struggling to find comparisons. If you know of any, please send them my way!
Here’s a little treat for those doing November writing activities:
I put a bunch of strong action verbs in a compact cheatsheet. It’s a @codepen so you can fork it and make it yours.

Note: this was my first attempt at fluid typography. I wanted to make everything fit without scrolling and be spaced for easy eye-scanning. If you know how to improve it, please fork it and let me know!
