Need one that says "recording my course." Wonder if I've hit a year of my life yet, babbling away into a microphone, with no one listening?....

AI will get irrelevant answers out of my book "Joomla Start to Finish," published in 2010 & covering long-dead Joomla 1.5. However, the 1st chapter focused on site planning - something the community needed help with at that time. Still applicable & worth reading. www.theatlantic.com/category/ai-...

‘Booty’ and ‘butt’ are synonyms. ‘Call’ and ‘dial’ are synonyms. But, a ‘booty call’ and a ‘butt dial’ are VERY different things.

CSS `field-sizing` on a `<textarea>` is obviously awesome. But the horizontal growth using it on an `<input>` is less clearly useful to me. But check out this design pattern I cooked up. I don't hate it. Keeps the name area compact until you need to see more. Just a bit of flexbox wrapping.

If you ever feel like you don't know what you're doing, just keep in mind Spotify sent out an email today with an image that is 8736x11648 in dimensions and 19.6MB in filesize. So. You're fine.

I think more than anything else AI feels like a miracle to people with questionable literacy because it can read and write for you, and a lot of us who are highly literate underestimate how many of our society's leaders, esp in business, struggle with literacy.

Something I didn't get to say yesterday: We heard over and over during the event about "human-centered" approaches to "AI". But if refusal is not on the table (at every level: individual students and teachers right up through UNESCO) then we have in fact centered the technology, not the people.

Almost certainly the best thing I was ever told about owls was when I met an owl handler at an owl sanctuary and he told me that the wild owls who lived near the sanctuary worried about the tame show owls there and sometimes stopped by to leave them shrews and mice as presents.

Opening a Details Element from the URL If the #hash in the URL matches the ID of an element *inside* a element, it'll open. No other fancy code required.

The web started its downhill slide when someone said "cool, but I want it big and red"

Lol, we need the "AI" that is killing the environment and guzzling untold amounts of resources to save the environment. This is 1984 type of marketing, like "ministry of peace" that is actually the war department.

There are so many CSS features rolling out these days but not enough time to experiment myself with everything. That’s why I’m loving @jamessw.com's arbitrary striped table CodePen demo using the new sibling-index() function codepen.io/jamessw/pen/...

Agreed. It depends on the site and what's happening with it. Not every site is the size and scope of one of the big tech companies, where logical properties are appropriate. I prefer teaching left/right/top/bottom to beginners because they're easier to understand & they have enough to learn already!

my mom taught me there's two kinds of businesses: hot dog stands and art galleries - hot dog stands protect territory and keep competition off their turf - art galleries benefit from more adjacent art galleries, cluster together to amplify reach/support youre an art gallery, not a hot dog stand

genAI saves time alright but at cost of actual learning

“Thinking requires foundational knowledge. Students who learn primarily to act as passive conduits for AI-produced information are not going to reach the potential they have to use the tool well [or] the much broader potential they have as independent thinkers.” www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/07...
