YES! @geoffgraham.me now has ownership of CSS-Tricks. I'm thrilled our stalwart publication has returned!

Apple Music’s 404 page is nostalgic fun music.apple.com/404

$446 million of his (sometime) reported net worth of $1 trillion means he’s still only spending 0.0446% of his net worth to try to buy elections. put in more concrete terms: if you had $100, this would be like spending less than 5 cents. now tell me again why i should vote against a wealth tax.

I have friends who worked on Wildwood, and I got to visit the incredible set in person. The level of craft is extraordinary, and as of this writing it has a 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes: Opens in theaters today, support stop-motion animation and go see it! #animation #stopmotion #movies

I found a cheap, used Hue Bridge Pro, and upgraded over the weekend. One feature that blows my mind is the fact that the bridge can turn Hue bulbs into a motion sensor by detecting interface in the Zigbee signal. We don’t really have a use for it, but it is amazing to see it work in real life.

Seriously. I have watched this three times because it is so good. Watch all the way through to the end.

Wow. You really have to watch this whole clip.

📍On the ground in Portland, Oregon This No Kings day is filled with music and joy! AND a reminder to VOTE & to encourage your friends and family to do the same! Make a plan at vote.org 🗳️

Beautiful day for a protest. Vote early!

Massive crowd at No Kings protest today. Can’t see ends of it. Vote Early!

I enjoyed listening to this debate about whether or not there is an AI bubble. That said, I didn’t find the no bubble argument convincing. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/1…

I’m likely late to the party on this, but PageFind is a brilliant bit of engineering. I had to watch the video just to figure out how it was even possible on a static site. pagefind.app cloudcannon.com/blog/intr… www.youtube.com/watch

Our son’s door broke this morning, and he couldn’t get out to go to school. I climbed through the window and spent about 30 minutes trying to get out (hinges froze, latch stuck, etc.). Finally, used his school id from last year as a shim to push the latch back. He thought it was all hilarious.

I’ve been looking forward to receiving this text message. My ballot is on its way! Vote early friends.

We need to get out ahead of the situation, rhetorically.

If you've wondered why I haven't written a new blog post in about a month. It's because of this. 👇 typography.damato.design I've written a few posts about web typography in the past year, and even a talk in January. I've decided all of it probably needs a single place. So, this is the place.

I'm super excited to announce that today we've added experimental versions of Core Web Vitals metrics including soft navigations to the Chrome User Experience Report! You can see them in BigQuery, the APIs, and CrUX Vis. Check it out! web.dev/blog/crux-ex...

Remembering that time when some big name accounts were arguing that X is all good now and the algorithm has been de-Elon'd. Wait, that was yesterday. The same time this was happening.

Unsurprisingly, I fully endorse @aaron-gustafson.com’s argument here given he quotes my post with the same title. But Aaron has several specific examples worth considering. www.aaron-gustafson.com/notebook/imp...

Ah cool. I’ve started a similar list about web-native stuff. HTML and CSS where you might not need JS. It’s a work-in-progress richargh.de/web-native/

Your ‘App’ Could Have Been a Webpage (so I fixed it for you…) danq.me/2026/07/0… Love this!

HTML Can Do That by @chrisburnell “HTML has been gobbling up swathes of what used to be JavaScript’s remit. This page lists a bunch of dynamic functionality that we can now achieve with just HTML.” chrisburnell.com/html-can-… Great reminder of all of the advances we’ve seen!

The Convergence of Design by @lukew.com is a short, fun read. Come from the product photos. Stay for “crabitalism.” www.lukew.com/ff/2166/t…

What do you want us to work on in 2027? Here's a web app where you can rank the Interop proposals you care about, giving us data we can use to prioritise feature development. interop-rank.fxdx.dev

Good example of what to look for in images to help determine if they are AI generated www.nytimes.com/interacti…

The invoicing system we use recently changed to include a button that says, “Send invoice via mail.” The button still gives me pause. Are they going to print it out somewhere and physically mail it? Nope. Just going to send an email.

Wow. The people holding up the Internet. sheets.works/data-viz/…

ah damn, RIP Margaret Hamilton. she took safety-critical software engineering seriously, and got people to the moon and back. news.mit.edu/2026/margare...

Insightful Ezra Klein interview with David Robinson who left OpenAI’s safety team over concerns that no AI companies are doing adequate safety work. Nice to hear perspective from someone who came from outside SV. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/0…

AirPod cases are Apple’s most incredible engineering feat. They somehow made the springs invisible. There are no springs in the case you say? To which I respond, drop a case on the floor and watch those AirPods shoot across the room and tell me they’re not spring loaded. Amazing work. Every time.

*so important*: if you’re voting by mail, assume the USPS will delay because it’s its policy. You can: —put it in drop box —go to counter to watch them postmark in front of you —if you’re dropping it in a mailbox, do it VERY EARLY.

“every time someone is sleeping on a subway bench in a city, the rest of america can sort of say ‘ugh, look at these cities.’ but we are holding a lot of your people who you failed to love and take care of.” 👏 👏 👏

BTW, hat tip to @adactio.com for pointing me to many of the articles I’ve been sharing. His RSS feed of links has always been great source, and it was one of the things I tried to catch up on this weekend while I was sick. adactio.com/links

Do AI-generated emails commonly include postscripts? It seems like every inbound marketing email I’m deleting today includes a P.S. or P.P.S. I hope this isn’t like em-dashes where I’ve been using them for years and now they are signs of AI usage. At least I still have footnotes in emails. :)

If you're in these states, *TODAY* is deadline to register to vote. Arizona, Arkansas Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas. Even if you think you've registered: doesn't hurt to check! And there's a lot happening across them. A thread with stakes on each. ⬇️
