I made good progress last week on several projects that will launch at the end of the week. I tried out Memento Mori as a way to say a stand alone archive of my Instagram photos.

Perfect for your workshop or garage, this handmade poster is a playful reminder to check one's accuracy before making a mistake. The birth of this print was kismet. Letterpress printing requires an un...

I would love to build the LEGO Sagrada Família set. I visited the church in 2024 and it is one of my favorite pieces of architecture. (I got my bachelor degree in architecture.)

I attended Front End Study Hall on Thursday. Continued work on three major projects. I was bummed to hear that CSS Tricks has gone quiet for a second time in four years.

I added a “copy to clipboard” button to my site’s code blocks back in February. It works as you’d expect, except for one detail.

I thought about dropping an addendum into my last post to say just how overwhelmed I am, in the best possible way, by the way all of you in the front-end community have shown up to show support, both for me and for CSS-Tricks. I started to do that but then felt a new post...

My computer welcomed me this morning with this picture on my desktop. It brings back a lot of good memories of walking from my fraternity house on the edge of campus to Marvin Hall early in the morning.

I had most of this one written on Monday. Slower week but I found some things to talk about. Enjoyed seeing my youngest again as we traveled to east TN on Saturday.

Last week, Chris Coyier shared a post about his March 2022 sale of CSS Tricks to DigitalOcean and where things are at today. Since the time of sale, DigitalOcean has abandoned CSS Tricks with the last...

It started with a question: should a hero be contained within a main HTML element. And like many questions of this nature with HTML, it's never clear cut and certainly not simple.

Front End Study Hall I attended Front End Study Hall this week. I participated more in the discussion this week. Joe kicked us off talking about HTML email and he mentioned MJML. I mentioned that MJML delivered on its promise to "make responsive email easy." I started using it six years ago and instantly hated...

I had a more normal work week after a crazy month of jury duty and moving two of our kids. But it was also a difficult week as I miss having our kids at home.

The highlight of the week was a roadtrip to Eastern Tennessee to move my youngest into her dorm. We also visited the Tennessee Aquarium.

Last week, Kevin Powell posted on Bluesky about the most common typo you make when writing CSS. I share my top two typos.

I had several adventures this week–traveling and in Chattanooga. I read a lot of AI focused articles this week that I resonated with.

Around the workshop My team launched two migrations from WordPress to Django this week. We moved our German and South African sites. The project started back in February. I had a part in building new pages in Django, adding hero images to several sections, and other odds and ends. My teammate Nicholas did most of...

I said goodbye to him a couple of hours ago. I have said goodbye to him a lot over the past four years. I said goodbye each year after I helped him move into his dorm at Murray State. I said goodbye the numerous times that I visited him in Murray. I said goodbye after...

I attended Front End Study Hall on Thursday. I discovered a new interface when I opened up Instapaper this week and I am not a big fan.

I was excited to find out that flex-wrap: balance dropped in Chrome last month. I added it to several layouts on the Revive Our Hearts site.
