Geoff Graham @geoffgraham.me · 24/09/2026The response is amazing, isn't it? And I hope we get to work together again very soon, Kate. You're a wonderful writer. 🧡 120
Geoff Graham @geoffgraham.me · 22/09/2026Oh god, now you’re doing the same to me. Like when I remembered buying Ugly Kid Joe’s first album on tape. From Sam Goody, no less. 010
Geoff Graham @geoffgraham.me · 22/09/2026That’s easily 80% of my inbox these days. I get hit on both the CSS-Tricks and Smashing sides. My favorite are the timed follow-ups. 050
Geoff Graham @geoffgraham.me · 22/09/2026Feels like we’ve reached a point where our favorite releases from the 90s are closer to the favorite releases from the 60s than where we are in current times. 100
Geoff Graham @geoffgraham.me · 22/09/2026I love this idea! Makes a lot of sense even if there are CSS workarounds because those aren’t widely used and folks often reach for libraries for this sort of thing. And HTML is perfect for abstracting the need for regular JS cleanup. 010
Geoff Graham @geoffgraham.me · 21/09/2026I've used my newfound free time to put the finishing touches on a new album... that should be coming out really, really soon! geoffgraham.me/new-album-co...geoffgraham.meSpeaking of being a paid, professional musician, another album is coming out in about two weeks! - Geoff Graham 0111
Geoff Graham @geoffgraham.me · 18/09/2026You're doing the most helpful thing possible — caring and saying it. That goes really far. 🧡 010

Geoff Graham @geoffgraham.me · 18/09/2026As always, @bell.bz hits the nail on the head: "Let me make it clear: without people at the top of their game sharing their experience and knowledge [...] we are pulling up the ladders and committing our industry to stagnation and death." bell.bz/youll-miss-p...bell.bzYou’ll miss publishers when they’re goneEver since Piccalilli started to get traction, I’ve always seen CSS-Tricks, Smashing Magazine and A List Apart (among others) as peers. We all help each other behind the scenes and importantly, back each other. When CSS-Tricks was initially acquired by DigitalOcean, I was really happy for Chris. The work that he’d put into that publication […] 0342
Geoff Graham @geoffgraham.me · 17/09/2026It's always an idea! I mean, DO owns the "brand" so to speak. At the same time, I'm still optimistic something will work out. I consider my work "paused" rather than "over." 020
Geoff Graham @geoffgraham.me · 17/09/2026And you're quite the resource as well, Ryan! I've definitely learned from you. 🧡 030

Geoff Graham @geoffgraham.me · 17/09/2026It really, really is. I think we're all lucky to be part of a community like this. It's what made me a front-ender in the first place and still thrives despite the current climate of Things™. And you're very much a part of that, too! 030
Geoff Graham @geoffgraham.me · 17/09/2026Kevin's one of my favorite people and what he says here is incredibly sweet... and accurate. 4669
Geoff Graham @geoffgraham.me · 15/09/2026Yeah I'm a good deal worried, too, Patrick. But probably more sad and disappointed more than anything else. And I think it goes beyond "get off my lawn" level. The thing we've loved and nurtured since we were kids is hanging on a pendulum that's swung so far to the right. 040

Reposted by Geoff GrahamMat “Wilto” Marquis @wil.to · 14/09/2026Digital Ocean ended their $50/month sponsorship of GNOME and FlatHub and went radio silent on CSS-Tricks right around the time they found a spare three million dollars to burn on “sponsoring” a high-profile racist’s dotfiles repo.

Geoff Graham @geoffgraham.me · 18/08/2026This is defintely the way! As you know, the things you learn or remember, big and small, are always worth writing out. 110
Geoff Graham @geoffgraham.me · 13/08/2026Ha! That's the one I stopped by for. But I also kinda appreciate it in a weird way. 110
Geoff Graham @geoffgraham.me · 08/07/2026So cool that it takes the shape() function — and the trick here used to transition the border-width is a slick visual effect. 030
Geoff Graham @geoffgraham.me · 04/07/2026@css-tricks.com turns 19 today. Nine-freakin’-teen! I also went freelance/independent today, but 14 years ago. What a ride. 0673
Geoff Graham @geoffgraham.me · 18/06/2026Heck yeah! I actually just replied to you moments ago. We can definitely get you in before the buzzer. 🏀 010
Geoff Graham @geoffgraham.me · 17/06/2026You just described my every day... and it's just as wonderful as you'd imagine! I get the same feeling every time I get rid of something from the house. 030
Geoff Graham @geoffgraham.me · 13/06/2026Right back at ya! It’d be a long overdue hangout for sure. 120

Geoff Graham @geoffgraham.me · 12/06/2026I knew #CSSDay FOMO would be a thing for me, but ooo geez it's hitting harder than I thought. So many heroes of mine there in one great spot. Hope y'all are having a blast! High fives from Colorado. ✋ 1211
Geoff Graham @geoffgraham.me · 04/06/2026LOL, I think we all have that feeling when watching professionals. There are certainly some people you can't hold yourself to, except for inspiration and aspiration. I have no doubt you're great and only get better and better. 010
Geoff Graham @geoffgraham.me · 04/06/2026Oh no! I don't have an account either but was able to get some noise out of it. Maybe there's one of those hidden-til-hover UI volume controls? Oh wait, found it! It's a super *tiny* button in the bottom-right. 110

It also isn't really a post about tech. Well, it sorta is, but tangential to tech in the sense that I've come to a 361
Geoff Graham @geoffgraham.me · 26/05/2026Agreed! My policy: If you can't be bothered to write it, then I can't be bothered to read it. Sometimes more aspirational than realistic, of course. 060
Geoff Graham @geoffgraham.me · 26/05/2026Accessibility is baked into the curriculum, but the greater focus is on best practices — structure, formatting, semantics. The good stuff that's a stepping stone to get into accessibility where you might look at @sarasoueidan.com's Practical Accessibility. practical-accessibility.todaypractical-accessibility.todayThe Practical Accessibility CourseA get-right-down-to-it online course for Web designers and developers who want to start creating more accessible Web user interfaces and digital products today 071
Geoff Graham @geoffgraham.me · 21/05/2026It's definitely a hard feel for all of us. And it's sorta weird, right? Even though it can feel defeating, I like the idea that we're less focused on the "bleeding edge" so to speak, and back to the human craft of making things in the same way web design was against the grain in the early 2000s. 191
Geoff Graham @geoffgraham.me · 20/05/2026This so much. I mean, I still love the craft of tech content, but yes, it feels very much like an ever-shrinking lonely island. 040
