@css-tricks.com turns 19 today. Nine-freakin’-teen! I also went freelance/independent today, but 14 years ago. What a ride.

I knew #CSSDay FOMO would be a thing for me, but ooo geez it's hitting harder than I thought. So many heroes of mine there in one great spot. Hope y'all are having a blast! High fives from Colorado. ✋

Coooooomin' up in less than an hour! ⏳

I'm pretty, pretty, pretty stoked to hang out with my buddies @monknow.bsky.social and @chriscoyier.net at Smashing Meets next week. Just plain mensches who have taught me so dang much. smashingconf.com/meets-style-...

Introducing the CSS Olfactive API Something's s little... smelly about it. 👃 css-tricks.com/css-olfactiv...

Spent time watching ER nurses work (not for me, reason not important) and was super inspired; and I’m reminded that what we worry about in web development is piddly in comparison. geoffgraham.me/spent-time-w...

Happening next week! Smashing Meets Design Systems. With the lovely @samiamdesigns.bsky.social @bencallahan.com and David Wieland. Hosted by our lovely @geoffgraham.me. 🕰️ Wednesday, February 11, Tickets are free! smashingconf.com/meets-design...

It’s been, like, 5 years since I really updated my site’s design, but I’ve been inspired by the recent surge in personal sites and finally shipped something new. It's buggy and a work in progress, for sure, but still feels refreshing. geoffgraham.me/its-been-lik...

@anatudor.bsky.social Fixed! Lots of custom HTML in there that needed reformatting, so let me know if you spot any other funky stuff. And thanks for the heads up!

Somehow at sometime, I stopped being a web designer. And I didn't even see it coming. geoffgraham.me/changing-rol...

A great review. Geoff and crew have done so much to keep an absolute pillar of our industry alive and flourishing. Hate the see how damaging Google “AI summaries” have been, but love to see how much is being invested in the CSS Almanac. It’s one of my favourite resources on the internet!

It's so great seeing CSS Tricks thrive again (in as much as our Search overlords deem permissible), I've enjoyed it a lot this year.

I'll be danged if looking back on the past year doesn't make me proud as heck of what's happening over at @css-tricks.bsky.social. css-tricks.com/thank-you-20...

Come and join us in February for the first Smashing Meets of 2026! We'll be talking about everything Design Systems with the lovely @bencallahan.com, @samiamdesigns.bsky.social, and @geoffgraham.me. We hope you will join us online. Tickets are free 💞 smashingconf.com/meets-design...

📝 New CSS Article! Learn how I made that responsive list of overlapping images using modern CSS. css-tricks.com/responsive-l... A perfect use case for the new sibling-index() and sibling-count() functions.

Just a few folks I really appreciate today: ⭐️ @dxnny.fun ⭐️ @css-only.dev ⭐️ @allthatmalarkey.bsky.social It's not just that they do amazing work — more importantly, they're genuinely great humans.

17 people in the surgical waiting room, 10 on screens. That’s a lot but honestly fewer than I expected. geoffgraham.me/17-people-in...

Paul played 35 songs over 3 hours... and I still wanted more! geoffgraham.me/got-back/

Co-signed! 💯 I want to be able to CSS like @amitsheen.bsky.social when I grow up.

Look ma, no hands! ✈️ geoffgraham.me/such-great-h...

Learning to paint with sound was a lot easier than I expected because there's so much overlap with my front-end background. I tried to articulate that here, more or less. css-tricks.com/same-idea-di...

Happy New Music Tuesday! (Yes, I wish that was still a thing.) geoffgraham.me/new-music-tu...

And guess what? We *open up* the show to your questions, which you can send in. forms.gle/nkrUPmiEGmp6... We’ve gotten some really good ones, from symptoms of imposter syndrome, to tough career moves… and even wanting to disappear off the internet. 😲

I am so excited to share this article with the world. It started as a question on Front End Study Hall in August that led me to ask, "Is it time to Un-Sass?" Credit to @sturobson.com for coining un-Sass. Term was spot on to describe what I have been thinking about. css-tricks.com/is-it-time-t...

Hey, @bradfrost.com and I do this little live podcast called Open Up, getting into the feelzzzz side of web dev and design. The latest episode might be my favorite yet because we tackle fear and anxiety in the current tech space head on: www.youtube.com/watch?v=55FG...

It's hard not to be totally inspired by @amitsheen.bsky.social's endless curiosity that leads to wild experiments like this.

Later today, at 8 AM PT, 5 PM CET, we're hosting our 5th episode of Open Up with Brad Frost. Today @bradfrost.com and @geoffgraham.me are joined by the wonderful Rebecca Garza-Bortman, and you can still join as well! Register your free ticket: ti.to/smashingmaga...

"I consider knowledge to be overvalued. Too many of us suffer from 'infobesity.' Too much information, not enough action. But knowledge combined with action is priceless." geoffgraham.me/self-leaders...

Be like @jim-nielsen.com and share what you learn, even if you think it's common knowledge!

The most interesting part to me is styling matched queries with ::search-text and ::search-text:current (but no :past or :future… at least for now).

It’s starting to look like a real guitar! geoffgraham.me/its-starting...

This was a helluva great discussion. I got a lot of perspective from @hidde.blog and @miriam.codes. The funny thing about roundtables with amazing people like this is that I'm always more interested in what others have to say than what I do. Feels like having a front seat to all the awesomeness!

Unvarnished thought: Access to the latest information has traditionally been a luxury affordance, but perhaps that’s moving toward slower, more intentional information. geoffgraham.me/unvarnished-...

Andy really knows how to breathe new life into well-established patterns.
