Hands down this is one of my favorite Podcasts. Even if you aren’t a cartoonist, there is a ton of great advice for living a creative life and Brad and Dave always find a way to make me laugh

I got to do a guest lecture last week for university students on the importance of accessibility in software engineering. Haven’t done talks in awhile (used to do a bunch at local meetups pre pandemic), but do find myself occasionally missing it.

Today is a working in personal site day. “Stole” back the minatures I painted for the dnd game so I can make do some glamour shots of them on my iPad, so I can maybe have a section of the site showcasing creative stuff I make.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard someone say we can just use AI to remove all the accessibility problems in the code base… Actually knowing how to make accessible websites is way more valuable and there is a lot about making accessible sites AI isn’t good at doing.

Per the tradition of forcing my friends to do craft projects for my birthday, this year the project was pottery painting. I got over ambitious and decided to paint this really cool fairy house pottery piece.

There is a tea light inside the structure made the windows glow with a yellow lightBack view of a ceramic fairy house shaped to look like a mushroom and an acorn with a flower in top.

Been working on painting minis for the dungeons and dragons game I’m in this week and pretty proud of how this ranger halfling came out.

New "cartoon": Border Collie comicss.art/comics/254/ I saw a similar concept on social media, and tried to give it a background-clip CSS twist. #css #webdev #comic
Four photos of a border Collie cropped differently: first one occupied a whole square and it's titled "border Collie". The second one has a blank space in the outside and it's called padding Collie. In The third one, the blank space is larger and it's titled content Collie. The last one is the text "text Collie" and the photo of the dog can be seen through the text.

The way to understand this is to view it the way those in power do: Accessibility is something that can be automated away, just like every other concern. The fact that this is in opposition to reality is immaterial, as are the human-facing consequences. aftermath.site/xbox-layoffs...

This weekend was filled with painting miniature scatter terrain for the partner’s dungeons and dragons game, and I am reminded how much I love painting little tiny cute things.

TIL: You can make your pixel art into svgs in Aseprite? So I guess I'm attempting to make pixel art now to use for my site. Also cue the absolute panic of trying to figure out how to make icons I like in pixel art.
Part of a website showcasing a link block done in a pixel art style. There are two buttons at the bottom with a "Next" and "Last" label with two pixel art like arrows next to them.Screen grab from the pixel art app Aseprite, with a bunch of attempts and making arrows and a general feeling of "none are good enough"

I went to Mardens last weekend and found the cutest fabric that was five dollars for the rest of the roll . Almost done making a shirt from it, just need to hem it (my mortal enemy), but enjoy this WIP pic!
A shirt in progress, laid out on the floor and having the sides pinned together. It’s a wrapped top, based on the Dartmouth pattern. The shirt is black, with white images of moons, stars and suns. This thing feels like butter, and I am pretty sure it is 100 percent polyester.

TODAY'S COMIC: Anatomy of a Cockatrice
TITLE: Anatomy of Monsters: Anatomy of a Cockatrice

DESCRIPTION: A creature that is half-dragon, half-chicken stands on a rocky ground. His head is a rooster with red crest and dangly-bits, with his beak wide open, white feathers on it’s neck. His small chicken-arms stretch out into dragon wings. His belly is armored like a dragon, with a dragon tail, but his legs are chicken legs.

JOKES:
- Nothing strikes fear into hearts like a FULL-ON DRAGON with the head of a chicken.
- A mythical 12th-century beast, the cockatrice was created whenever “A toad hatched a chicken egg.” AND THAT’S JUST SCIENCE, GANG!
- (points to previous joke) Medieval scientists really thought eldritch horrors would result if a toad didn’t stick to its lane.
- Not the dude to invite over if you like your hardwood floors.
- The only creature that can make “bok bok bok” sound threatening.
- Spends the majority of his day wondering if he’s a bird with a lizard problem or a lizard with a bird problem.
- Much like the buttons at a cross-walk, his wings don’t actually DO anything.
- It’s funny when you realize that 100% of monster folklore is the result of bored farmers staring at livestock all day.

What AI is doing to the jobs of programmers feels very familiar to a lot of us frontend developers – because it has happened to us before.

AI is doing to programming what framework-brain did to the frontend before. Deskilling, or just working at a higher level of abstraction?

Every once in awhile my friend and I fantasize about opening a geeky craft store/cafe with space to learn how to sew/paint miniatures/crochet/knit/whatever. Somewhere people could go for community and creativity. Also must have apparel fabric options because it’s been hard since Joanne closed.

Throwback to a cute modern pixel tileset I made a while back. I had been teaching myself how to make tilesets for game dev and I am really proud of how it came out. I liked the cozy yet spooky vibe of it, and I really want to add more to it at some point.
