After debating for over a year now, I finally decided to invest in a Synology unit for backups and network storage.

Looks like Tesla’s Optimus may not be all that the company wants you to believe they are. I can’t imagine anyone ever wanting ones of these in their home.

Watched the new Jeff Buckley documentary today on HBO Max. So good. Massive talent gone way too soon.

🤦🏼‍♂️

I’m going out on a limb here with what is very likely an unpopular opinion, but I don’t believe that vibe coding is as bad as a lot of people make it out to be. In certain cases that is. There. I’ve said it. 😂

I’m really considering going all in with a lifetime license for the Kadence WordPress theme. I feel like it would be a solid investment being that I’ve been using it for two years now already.

#tinyCSStip What's the point of setting background on an img anyway? 🤷 Well, it's useful if we want a border pattern only possible with multiple gradients (border-image only allows one)/ if we also want to have rounded corners (border-image + border-radius = 💩). codepen.io/thebabydino/... #CSS

“A rallying point for everyone who believes the internet should be accessible to all—no matter their abilities or circumstances.” Thanks for supporting web standards and #a11y, Awareness Days! #BlueBeanieDay is November 30, 2025. www.awarenessdays.com/awareness-da...

Woke up to a bunch of websites that can’t be accessed because of the massive Cloudflare outage. It’s going to be a long day.

Accessibility isn’t about just slapping some JavaScript on it for a fix. That seems to be the go-to for some developers. Always start first with native HTML. #a11y

My best advice for becoming a digital accessibility specialist is to make it your job, regardless of your title. Making a presentation? Putting together a design? Building something in code? In anything you do, be curious about what it takes to make it more accessible

Oxygen for WordPress caught my attention recently after I discovered an agency I used to work for is using it now on client sites. Curious how it stacks up to something like KadenceWP, which I’m a big fan of myself.

Question for my #a11y followers: Is there a way to accurately test color contrast for text and background when there’s a vertical gradient between an image and the text on top of it? This is the first time I’ve ever had to test this specific situation.

Gah. Now my MacBook has the gross liquid glass theme too. There's icons... EVERYWHERE! I cannot believe this has been rubber stamped with the Apple brand. It's like they've forgotten everything they know about design and just let an intern go wild in Figma. Awful.

The “tinted” Liquid Glass setting in iOS 26.1 doesn’t appear to get applied consistently to elements. It looks like it works in some places but not others.

Using DoorDash for the first time today. I feel like I’m really behind the times on things like this sometimes. I’ll readily admit that I’ve only ever used Uber once, too.

All UPS delivery estimates should just be “at some time on one of these days hopefully”.

Defaults matter. Remember that people tend to internalize bad UI as their own personal failing, and that people also may not identify as disabled. Combined this means they'll feel bad using inaccessible experiences and not think to check how to fix the problem. www.theverge.com/news/802963/...

Big announcement! 🛎️ I teamed up with @thewpminute.com to create a free course aimed at #WordPress freelancers and agencies.

The new iPadOS 26 makes me glad that I’m really picky about my responsive layouts now that you can easily drag a corner to resize browser windows.

Day 2 of posting this with hopes we can cross that line in 30 days. My partner is in need of some medical assistance and future surgery and treatments. We are 6% of the way there. More details and you can donate if you can here. gofund.me/231d524bb Your help is greatly appreciated.

Today kicks off National Disability Employment Awareness Month #A11y #NDEAM

I’m excited that it’s release day for my son’s band. Their first single dropped on Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, and other streaming services today.

I'm very excited to announce the release of the #WebComponents CLI validator! Now you can validate your web components in your build pipelines. #html #javascript

I had to contact PayPal customer support by phone today, and they were excellent. Took a bit to get through their AI menu and speak with an actual person, but it was worth it.

Yup I blogged it! Calling it a "starter" instead of a "reset" as it's not massively about stripping away styles. I quite like it and I'm extra interested in thoughts/critique.

Yes, I’m jumping into Josh’s new course this weekend. The examples and his teaching style drew me in, and I didn’t want to miss out on the early pricing either.

Not sure why it’s taken me this long to start digging into web components, but today is the day.

Reposting because I’m so incredibly proud of this kid. Excited for the full album to be released.

Anyone FE-oriented, UX heavy (like we use react but it's not that complex, we'd rather you "know" react a bit and be really good at UI/UX) out there looking for a job? FT, US-based preferred but there could be options for intl contract It's fully remote and nice people, I can DM/signal w/deets

Proud parent moment. My son’s band dropped their first single on Bandcamp today ahead of its official release on all other major streaming platforms on 10/1. juiceboxison.bandcamp.com/track/annie-...

My son’s band is releasing their first single on 10/1, and I’m so stoked. I’ve been playing the final mix of the track on repeat since he sent it to me a few days ago. So good.

iPhone 17 Pro is the first to not have a space gray/black color option. It’s always the color that I go with, so I’m a little bummed. I’m a creature of habit.

Why doesn’t @firefox.com support “text-wrap: pretty” yet? I find myself using it more and more.

💯 Could not agree more, but I’ve definitely seen it done by some agencies.

This is a fantastic resource for learning flexbox. I wish I had know about this a long time ago.

I blocked a large dev account for the first time today. One of the reasons I left X/Twitter was because of all the negativity. Now, I see people being attacked for trying to add to a conversation - not an insult or even an opposing viewpoint - because the person being replied to got defensive.

Sometimes, for what may be perceived as an accessibility issue, the best solution is to do nothing. Adding eronius aria attributes will often make the experience worse for users. #a11y #FrontEndDev

How to make complex data accessible for users with disabilities? I love that the first step is defining purpose. Too often, we want charts on a page without knowing why. Accessibility means designing for diverse users, not the mythical “average.”

Got stuck in the News app on my iPhone running iOS 26. Swiping up did nothing but scroll through headlines or articles. Finally had to sleep my phone and try again before it worked. Wishing now I would have waited awhile before upgrading from iOS 18. #ios26 #apple

In my eyes, Apple really messed up by getting rid of the Launchpad for apps in macOS 26 (Tahoe). The new apps panel is terrible. It looks and feels like it belongs in Windows.

Installed iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS 26 (Tahoe). So far, not impressed. Glad I only updated my Mac Mini and not my MacBook Pro so far. Guess I’ll give it some time.

I have no words. Well, I do but… Wow.

Nice little subgrid write-up here by @saron.bsky.social.

I started using a binaural beats app about a week ago, and I’ve dreamt every single night with it on. My sleep has been more restful as well. I’m using different frequencies during the day for work focus now to see how that goes.

I’ve been curious about this myself. However, the lack of an edit option has improved my proofreading skills. Most times anyway.

If you thought we were done with View Transitions, guess again! A feature Chrome is working on, is “Scoped View Transitions”, which allow you to scope a VT to a subtree of the DOM. This unlocks things like concurrent transitions and prevents layering issues. developer.chrome.com/blog/scoped-...
