just learned that CSS (as of "Baseline 2023") now supports nesting: caniuse.com/css-nesting I never managed to start using SCSS so I'm excited to be able to write things like this without a preprocessor: .cal-link { right: -18px; @media (max-width: 800px) { right: 0; } }

Here is a recent "random burn" entry from my sketchbook of an Escher-like chair with implausible supports and uncomfortably rendered ribbon attachments using a mechanical pencil on paper.

Every tech company* has platform teams trying to build: 1. Heroku, except hand-rolled 2. One giant shared database, so engineers can ignore analytics without consequence 3. If they have a monolith, microservices. If microservices, a monolith 4. A solution to the halting problem * Hyperbole. I hope

after days of grifters and con men at CES we stumbled upon the booth for VLC. they were all dressed as wizards and told us, "we have nothing to sell, we just decided to show up". i told them I'd been using their software to pirate media for 15 years and they said "keep doing that"

The #KDL site at kdl.dev has been updated with the new KDL v2 content! Check it out! I even updated the textmate grammar so there's actually syntax highlighting!

$syntax-highlighted snippet of kdl v2 code: package { name my-pkg version "1.2.3" dependencies { // Nodes can have standalone values as well as // key/value pairs. lodash "^3.2.1" optional=#true alias=underscore } scripts { // "Raw" and dedented multi-line strings are supported. message """ hello world """ build #""" echo "foo" node -c "console.log('hello, world!');" echo "foo" > some-file.txt """# }$

True story.

Seven-panel comic depicting me toiling away at the difficult task of drawing comics, considering quitting, and a rather conveniently received email from a 5th grader that encouraged me to continue.

Comics can be hard work, often with setbacks and challenges, but the inspiration they might give to others can make all the toil worth it.
