I don't usually care about Prime Day, but I just happened to be in the market for a new iPad for my younger kid. His current one is getting bumped out of support for iPadOS 27, but he was also sort of due for one since it's getting super slow.

Apple Watch down ⌚️

When I got Take Off Your Pants and Jacket I got the version with What Went Wrong on it and I haven't heard a proper, non-YouTube rip of it in years. It's such a good song that I needed as a teenager and I'm glad it's finally officially out. #blink182 #music music.apple.com/us/album/what...

The almost 20 years of mobile games on the App Store explains a lot of how GenAI pricing was decided. I'm amazed at the restraint to not call AI tokens "Claude coins" or "Copilot gems" 💎 #webdev

Looking forward to the For All Mankind finale, but also, Star City! 💫

I have a few Audible credits to use and I'm eying the Murderbot series, but I see they have standard audiobooks read by one person, or dramatized versions read by a cast of characters.. Based on the reviews I assume the single narrator is the better option? #books #AudioBook #murderbot

Hey.. uh.. do you vibe code here often?

Over the past couple of weeks I rewrote a personal money-tracking app I made for my kids in 2022. I replaced Nuxt and Tailwind with web components, ExpressJS, and modern CSS—mostly to see what it takes to do it. wbrowar.com/article/code/refa... #WebComponents #CSS #WebComponents

I was seriously looking into getting one of those lawnmower robots. I thought maybe the price went down from the last time I looked a few years ago, but I guess it's only gone up. I guess I'll enjoy the extra exercise. 😅

Working on a personal project and spent like 6 hours this weekend messing with NGINX and CORS-related headers, but I finally got my little project working across two separate subdomains on the same server. Today, it just clicked that with a few changes I can get it all working on one. #WebDev

Project Hail Mary is back in IMAX! So tempted to go watch it again 🚀

I'm at a crossroads of do I update the framework for a project that hasn't needed updating in a few years so I can make a few changes, or do I gut the framework, make the whole thing more web platform-friendly, and set it up so I won't have to deal with this again the next time I'm in this position?

Make `currentColor` work on `<img src="foo.svg">`, you cowards!

After sitting on it for over a year, I finally carved out the time to put the enclosure and upgrade kit on my Bambi P1P to convert it to a P1S. I also bought a bunch of airtight cereal boxes and put my filament spools and some silica beads in them to get them out of the open air. #maker #3DPrinting

For All Mankind has _still_ got it and the new season is shaping up to be a good way to move the show forward. Definitely one I would recommend if you like epic stories with interesting characters.

Okay, I'm a real fan of this new transcripts feature in @overcast. The music notes to indicate where the theme song and ad breaks happen is killer on top of how nice it works for reading along and navigating an episode.

The Verve Pipe and Our Lady Peace in Buffalo last night.

Drummers (or any kind of musician, really), what are your opinions on the School of Rock for lessons for kids? I'm looking for lessons for a beginner in grade school. #drum #drummers

Saw Project Hail Mary with my older son today. We both loved it and it was awesome on 70mm IMAX. Two thumbs way up! 👎 👎

I took a project that was already on the most recent versions of Vite and Vitest and upgraded it to Vite 8/Vitest 4.1 today. It all just worked on the first try. There were a couple of Vite-related plugins in the project and none of them needed updating. Great work, Vite folks! #vite #vitest

I took the family to see Hoppers last weekend. It was both not at all what I thought (I went into it without watching the trailer) and it was funnier than I expected. Overall I thought it was a good movie and worth a watch.

Oh man! I just learned that CSS Style Dictionaries include aliasing and take care of flatting down source tokens! I had no idea and now I'm completely sold. #CSS

Sass vs Vanilla CSS, which one do you prefer?

This post by @adactio.com says a lot of things that I'm thinking about as a web developer these days. It's a really great blog post. adactio.com/journal/22399

You know that annoying experience on mobile websites where you need to find the little close button and can't swipe a menu closed? The solution is simpler than you think. With basic CSS scroll APIs, you can get built-in interruptible swipe gestures 🥳

🐶💡 A new maker blog post is up! Here's a project that helped me get acquainted with WLED and a new generation of microcontrollers. wbrowar.com/article/maker/pet... #WLED #LED #mak#WLEDI#LED

Almost done with my first LED project in a while and this was a ton of fun to put together. Here's a WIP shot from earlier today when I finally got it all powered up! #led #maker

Okay, so for EVs I'm all for "dumb" chargers that just provide power, but swapping out our home charger with one that keeps our history and estimates our charging costs based on our utility plan is nice. It's saying that based on the kW usage, my wife and I drove 2 cars all of January for $28! #EV

I crossed a maker threshold today: 3D printed an enclosure for an ESP32 to hook up to my LED test strip. Where do I go to collect my badge? #maker #LED

I just learned about this three.js course and everything about it, including the homepage, looks fantastic! threejs-journey.com/#bruno-s#bruno#threejs#threejs

I got a thing 🎸📚

Just got to my LED Hello, World! #maker

Oh, hey new Goldfinger album 🤘

My wife and I just caught up on the first season of The Pitt and we both really liked it. Now that the second season is a couple of episodes in, I think we're going to wait until we can binge the whole season. Waiting a whole week between episodes seems like it'll be tough to do with this show.

I know I'm an old now and my music is now considered Classic Rock, but it also means easier access to shows.. I just got literally front row tickets to Blues Traveler/Gin Blossoms 🎸

I came up with an idea for a little electronics project and it's fun diving back into LEDs and microcontrollers. There are also a ton more choices out there than Arduino and Raspberry Pi for the thing I'm thinking of doing.

Made it to the end of Stranger Things. Which I'm glad because now people can stop yelling at me.

A couple weeks ago I found a stash of screenshots and videos of some of my earlier web development work so I wrote a bunch of blog posts to share them. It was fun to go back in time and remember these projects! wbrowar.com/article/code/webs... #WebDesign #WebDev #WebDesignM#WebDev##Flash #HTMLt#CSS

I've been doing an incredible amount of writing over the past week and I can't wait to share it. Okay break over and back to it!

Looking good with the anchor positioning stuff, Firefox.

Regarding the Apple Creator thing, I was hoping there would be an Aperture-like app when this was announced. What I'm hoping for now is they just make Photos better and kick it out to Pixelmator for editing?

I just found a cache of screenshots and videos from web projects I worked on almost 20 years. Some of it is so cool and a reminder of some of the awesome collaborations I've had at the time. Others are exactly what you might expect from 2008 web design.. Need to figure out a good way to share this.

My Aura frame came in and it looks great! I'm surrounded by amazing OLED and HDR screens but something about how photos look on this matte screen is really nice.

We got an Aura frame for my Mom for Christmas and I think it's as awesome as it was hyped up to be. The color looks great and I really like that instead of it being a touch screen there's a little touch-sensitive bar at the top where you can swipe and tap to do things with the on-screen UI.

Last week I spent some time fixing up this bird feeder that got attacked by squirrels: wbrowar.com/article/maker/bir... #maker #birds

Also new in Admin Bar 5.8 is a widget, called Related. It lets you see the entries—that can be seen by the logged-in user—that are related to the current page entry. If the entry has a URL you can use this to pop over to that page and all entries show an edit button for easy editing. #CraftCMS

Admin Bar for Craft CMS 5.8 includes a new Queue widget. It works like the CP does, in that if a job is waiting in the queue it will attempt to run it on page load and it will display the status of the queue. You can also manually run the queue or jump to the Queue Manager. #CraftCMS

Currently in the (repair) shop

My only regret in getting my VW EV was drinking the kool aid and getting the VW EVSE (from Electrify America).. The software has been horrible and at this point there's no point in trying to reconnect it to my Wi-Fi since even that process is bungled.
