Genuinely, this is what bothers me the most, it's fundamentally changed my relationship with art where I'm greeting it initially with skepticism and scrutiny, I never want to feel that way about art.

I made a tool for migrating Tumblr blogs to @11ty.dev static sites, since one didn't seem to exist! It retrieves all your posts with all attached metadata, using a Tumblr blog export ZIP and the Tumblr API, and saves them in a new directory structure with Eleventy's data format.

CSS Curiosities of the Past
Summary of the various CSS syntaxes, parsing bugs, hacks, bespoke features, and implementations used across browsers and the web to achieve specific goals in the days before browser vendors became more adherent to a single solid specification.

It would be cool if Apple tried making routers again. It can just be an A17 or A18 SoC in a plastic box with bigger antennas. The only real competition in the consumer space would be Eero. If there are enough C1 modems leftover from iPhone production, maybe toss that in for 5G backup internet?

Three panel comic. Panel 1: an underwater submersible opens a latch and drops a red, pill-shaped crappy Bluetooth speaker. A scientist narrates, “we built a Bluetooth speaker to withstand 2000 meters.” Panel 2: the scientist, speaking directly to the camera, continues: “the squids responded really well to Nelly.” Panel 3: on the dark depths of the ocean floor, a group of squids are dancing enthusiastically around the sunken Bluetooth speaker. A couple of them are getting kinda nasty with it to be perfectly honest

An exact duplicate of the man pops into existence and says "hi, it's me! Your best self! I'm exactly like you!" He continues "turns out youa ctually did live up to all of your potential!"
