Part two of my @pckt.blog blog about Rives and my love of his @ted.com talks. This time, reflections on 4 AM. pckt.blog/b/permanant-...

I love "it's just a tool" but we're talking about products with a brand name, while shoveling money in and hoping they give us the good payout. Levers are a tool. Slot machines are a product.

How do I explain to small business owners that the menu on the left is one billion times more appealing than the one on the right

Saw a performance of Comedy of Errors a few nights ago, and I've since added the line, "Thou art a villain to impeach me thus" to my vernacular. My wife is already over it.

Always fun when your name shows up in a crossword. 😁 I didn't get a plonk on it though. 😩 puzzmo.com/play/crosswo...

I'm giving @pckt.blog a try for my new blog series. I was spending too much time fiddle-faddling on my personal site when I wanted to write something. I hope you enjoy this reflection on early internet 2.0 and my love of these two videos. permanant-collection.pckt.blog/rives-ted-ta...

opened linkedin. felt the great inhale of the leviathan, standing at the edge of its maw. felt its desperate hunger, saw the machinery in its bowels rend meaning into waste, blue-green-grey mildew & sawdust. all around me, i saw men & women throw themselves, ambitious, earnest, smiling into the pit

What will you do with your one wild and precious life? Use Google Tag Manager I guess

AI is great. It's allowed software developers to build their towers taller and taller. Soon they will reach Heaven and greet God

the quiet intimacy of asynchronous javascript; making Promises and .then, .finally, fulfilling them

AT Protocol devs: Where do I start in understanding the ecosystem? I get the basic idea of Bluesky, but how do things like @standard.site and @cartridge.dev integrate with it? Do updates there show here? I'm already working through the docs, but any video or article recs would be huge. #ATProto

I’ve posted it before, but it feels evergreen The two hardest problems in Computer Science are 1. Human communication 2. Getting people in tech to believe that human communication is important

"✦ summarize this email" girl you are 35 years old and your entire job is moving your mouse so ms teams doesn't call the cops on your laptop for sleeping. read the email your self

we don't talk enough about how cool the color-interpolation-method is in CSS gradients all of these slices have the same gradient: linear-gradient(#00ffff 0%, #ff00ff 100%) each one is just using a different colour interpolation

I made a macOS app! It's a Svelte app bundled with Tauri, and it does exactly one thing: trims audio files. Built for non-technical people. apps.apple.com/us/app/easy-... I'd love any feedback here or via DM. And if you like it, a review or sharing with a friend goes a long way. 🙏🏼

Fashion client is pushing for all of their blog text to be aligned-center. This was my response: "Center-aligned text is the web equivalent of buttoning all the buttons on a sports coat. I promise, promise, promise your articles look better with aligned-left text." #uiux #webdev #CSS

This is a cartoon about housing.

Remember: When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them. When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips. ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Just wow. @pluralistic.net.web.brid.gy came out swinging in this article. He's right though and that's the coolest part.

i found this screenshot on tumblr and i can't stop staring at it. every detail is so beautiful i want to weep. why did we ever leave this behind?

showing up to meetups is just like working out. it's a muscle and you have to practice. if you feel like you suck at navigating large conferences start investing in local meetups.

It's Bandcamp Friday, Which means Artists get 100% of what they earn in sales on Bandcamp. Did you know that at $0.003 per stream, purchasing one song is worth as much as 300 streams, Today is the day to support artists and musicians, Which helps us in turn. They may support us tomorrow

I spent the afternoon drafting some skill badges that look like fruit labels for my portfolio site. They aren't quite ready to go live, but I'm stoked with how they turned out. Inspired by fruit_stickers on Insta: www.instagram.com/fruit_sticke... #webdevelopment #html #css

If you say: “Em dashes = AI writing” I hear: “I don’t get grammar—and assume no one else does either.”

Everyone in the past was neurotypical, which is how we got things like this single-author, eight-volume encyclopedia of ferns

The amount I have to be on LinkedIn kills me slowly. Satirical posts like this let me know I'm not the only one. 😂😭

Chief among the Ring's powers is its ability to deceive.

Kids, remember if you use dev tools to throttle your internet speed, you have to reset it. SIgned, Guy who was mad at his ISP for about an hour. 🤡🤡🤡

It's insane how congestion pricing in NYC has been just about *the* most unambiguously successful new policy implemented in my lifetime and still all the dumbest people in government want to get rid of it

Et tu, Grammarly? "Basically the #CSS variable `--rem` is now 'considered harmful' because Grammarly are bad web citizens. They could generate a random variable name. They could also not inject their code into every web page ever, unless the extension is actually used."

"We won’t even know about the new deaths, because all the data collection was supported by U.S.A.I.D." It will be years before we understand the size of this crisis--and we may only understand it when highly resistant forms of TB come home to roost in rich countries.
