iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Steve Woodson, CPACC @stevenwoodson.com · 29/09/2026

Hey Lazyweb friends, I'll soon be in Las Colinas (Irving) Texas with some free time on my hands, got any tips on must see/do things while I'm there? So far, all I got is a visit to the Mustangs of Las Colinas sculpture (photo attached is one I found online, can't wait to see it in person!)

Bronze sculptures of galloping mustangs splash through a fountain at dusk, surrounded by illuminated office buildings in an urban plaza. The sculpture is called "Mustangs of Las Colinas"

25-ish years of working with HTML almost every day and still there are elements I don't recall ever using (yet). This is a great overview of what's out there, including the newer ones!

I didn't realize there was so much interest in "nan", guess I always assumed it was a developer thing. But seriously, noticing a precipitous uptick in these weird failed-mail-merge-looking emails lately. I don't understand the goal, bait a response that validates it's a real email?

Screenshot of (what I believe to be) a sales email with pretty confusing wording that appears to have been a failed email template. It reads:

Steven,

Our partners back owner run companies in nan.

No pitch in this email, just a question about timing.

Does nan have a bigger team coming up?

Thanks,
Emery Huerta
Director of Business Funding

I just used this analogy explaining CMS vs hand coded site to a client. * Hand coded - like a painter given a canvas * CMS - like anyone else given a paint by number kit. Pretty solid right? Limited palette and less options in favor of making it as simple as possible. They got it right away!

Can also attest that they're really nice people to work with! I would go after it myself if I had some map experience. This sounds like an interesting challenge for someone with the right skillset to help bring it over the finish line.

I just successfully resurrected a power washer by disassembling and cleaning its carburetor. Oil, air filter, and spark plug changed for good measure. Sentences I never thought I'd write, turns out you really can just do things!

A carburetor disassembled and mostly cleaned sitting on a table covered in paper towels. The choke of the carburetor is open, revealing the air tunnel to the other side.

Spent most of the evening making dinner and this peach and apple cobbler for a family gathering tomorrow. Pretty proud of it even though it's among the easiest things to make. Quality time offline, often just what I need to unwind and find some joy.

Two Pyrex glass dishes of peach and apple cobbler on a granite counter. Alternating peach and peeled apple slices are placed in even rows into the batter, the edges of each still sticking out.

Salma's DevRel perspective gets to the heart of feelings many of us are struggling with. We're in collective mourning over what we had, paired with the fear of an uncertain future. Don't know what the future holds, I just hope we don't lose the craft, community, and empathy that got us this far.

"Losing the ability to reason" is the scariest part of Gen AI to me. I've been comparing it to calculators, how often do we do the math anymore? Expand that to anything we can fit in an LLM chat, factor in that answers can be dangerously wrong, and no due diligence to realize when it happens.

#SotB26 final presentation by @cassiecodes.bsky.social called "Game on!" A really fun canvas game made with JS and GSAP, started with rectangles and some physics. Cassie layered on more features one at a time until it was full of features like tasks, enemies, and energy!

#SotB26 "Lessons from Building for the Bottom of the Web"by @mikehall314.bsky.social is next. A fascinating deep dive of a project that necessitated a 128kb limit to all page content over the wire + including images! A good reminder to respect the users time and bandwidth.

Slide with a bar chart showing the differences in sizes for "Zingg CSS Minification". Four bars "Original", "Minify Only", "Zip only", "Minify + Zip" each showing smaller than the one previous. Minify+Zip is about a quarter of Original.

Now at #SotB26 is Jason Williams talking about Temporal DateTime. Hearing more about the history, why it's taken so long, the issues it fixes, and the challenges of implementation was fascinating. Seeing some of the cool things we can do with this actually makes me excited to work with dates!

Slide off the talk titled "Temporal", 3 bullets below "New DateTime library in JavaScript", "Replacement for Date", "Strongly typed"

Slide introducing the year 2008 when Jekyll was introduced, the seventh iteration of the image comparison component in the presentation.
