Armchair rocket scientist graffiti existentialist. Old enough for it to hurt when I stand up, not old enough to have stopped noticing. Agnostic in principle, atheist in practice, #CSS guy, mzungu. I’m only here for the food.

My left hand was out of place when I started typing a URL and that’s how I discovered 'grrps://' should be a thing.

End of the year is approaching. I should probably start planning the next CSS Selection and not yolo it like I did this year. Does anyone have requests for what we should analyze?

Going over some ideas that @meyerweb.com and @bkardell.com had in the Igalia Chats episode. Brain is humming with ideas. The vibe was so good, I'm even just smiling when reading back the transcript. www.igalia.com/chats/projec...

I may not be at Inbox Zero, but I just managed Matrix Zero and honestly I think that’s a much steeper hill to climb.

I don’t know if it’s actually a good idea to do something like this (probably not), and it has a few styling limitations (no drop shadows or glows), but it was interesting to try to hit a design brief with clipping paths and the relatively new `shape()` value.

Assuming this isn’t stopped, I bet all the participants (but especially the guards) get pushed super hard off-camera and then the show pretends they came up with any behaviors and cruelties all on their own.

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

Inspired by @meyerweb.com's talk at @cssday.nl I played with offset-path before, but somehow missed that we can use it with border-box and padding-box, making this so incredibly easy. I need to fix up the code a bit as it's kinda messy, but you can see it here: codepen.io/editor/kevin...
