Conferences are cool

So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the void.

Yay web performance

You know one thing, I think that attracts people, to a steady beat, is the certainty, of where we'll be, of what will be, its inevitability with no variation, the comfort and security of knowing what and who you are. You hear that beat? It's beating on you. It's beating on me.

“I've heard it said that love is truly sacred / But nowhere is it written that it's guaranteed”

I got tired of waiting because I found out there's only a very very fine line between biding one's time and wasting one's time. D'you know what I mean?

I guess that’s what happens when you walk the streets with a bag on your head and a sign that says: everyday, everyday, every day I start to ooze

Nonsense is better than no sense at all.

You know when i told you i would never lie? Well, that was the first time.

You can choose to be kind.

You know when I told you I would never lie? Well, that was the first time.

Welcome to my website please enjoy 2mb of javascript before it's of any use to you

Ok hi again work

Ok bye vacation

The hardest part of vacation is feeding my coffee addiction.

Preparing to travel might be the most stressful part.

New year, same routine

Wishing everyone a happy new year before I ignore the event and retire to bed at my usual time.

A Festivus for the rest of us

There are no words that can describe / The joy I feel just in being alive

"Wait, it gets awful: you could split a atom willy-nilly / If it's energy that can be used for killing, then it will be"

"We can not be trusted with the stuff that we come up with / The machinery could eat us, we just really love our buttons"

If you’re gonna use pull requests to measure productivity you’re just going to get more pull requests. #WebDev

Today's project: leaning into Hide My Email for logins.

The best part of Halloween is that all of my #DeathMetal shirts briefly become seasonally appropriate.

C’mon Lakers, let’s get this one. #NBA

Hoping for a future that's more Brave Little Toaster than Terminator.

Back to the leisurely web.

Somewhere in the audience for that blog post is the future version of yourself that has to debug whatever it is you're explaining.

A website's user experience will decline in direct proportion to the pressure to monetize it.

No I don’t want to take your survey.

The right amount of javascript is typically as little as possible.

Just had the kind of critical diaper failure on the 7 month old that's going to haunt me for a bit.

Everyone hates a message board miscreant. But now you can do something about it! Flame Wars: The Next Generation, tonight on Sick, Sad World.

Can monkeys surf the net… and corrupt our kids? Chimpanze chatrooms, next on Sick, Sad World.

Are bats sneaking into your neighborhood disguised as cute flying squirrels? Rabid Rodent Rip-off, tonight on Sick, Sad World.

Can renegade surgeons transplant your brain while you sleep? The frightening truth, next on Sick, Sad World.

From outer space, to in our face! Aliens walk among us, a Sick, Sad World exclusive.

Brought back from the grave by black magic, but no one taught them to cross at the green. The Jaywalking Dead, next on Sick, Sad World.

Apple Music seems like it’s a little inconsistent about recording and returning repeated listens.

Gimme an api or a feed for everything

Nope

CDNs are cool

Now to root for Miami.

I’m mainly happy that the Lakers are playing Denver because it means the games start early.

Unreasonably emotionally invested in the outcome of tonight's Lakers game.

Cheers to all the folks sniffing through /admin paths on my static website

Next up, migrating from Fathom to Vercel's analytics.

Things are, indeed, fine in the west. #NBA

Ok Lakers let’s win this one. Please. #NBA

Good game Memphis. Cya in LA. #NBA

Counting down to the Lakers game tonight.

Ah yes, use new emoji as a carrot to get folks to update their devices.

Today was one of those be the family IT department days.

Last.fm wins the award for API that's the hardest to actually get a valid session out of.

Turns out a gist and the GitHub api work just fine for storing some cached JSON.

It’s always caching and naming things.

Are we out, are we out, are we out of the woods? Are we in, are we in the clear yet? Good

Really hoping the Lakers can keep playing like this on a more consistent basis.

Making ChatGPT refine the regular expressions I use to filter mail in Fastmail.

Proactively updating my mute filters.

Slowly working towards making this backing next.js app for my omg.lol hosted things reusable.

Trying to automate RSS to Mastodon with a GitHub action.

Tweaked and, perhaps, improved the styling on

Switched my site and blog over to Fathom

yes I worked around the last.fm api not returning artist images for my /now page. Yes it was manual and yes it’s logging when one isn’t found.

My faith in Apple's ability to associate concert photos with the correct artist has been shaken after they mislabeled a show by The National as a Blues Traveler concert.

The first new death metal release of the year is a gnarly one

Still tweaking things but it's a weblog lol

Apparently I've been spending too much time with Ember and handlebars because I just went to fix something in a React project and started passing all the props through as objects.

Celebrating New Years Eve by going to sleep as soon as both kids do.
