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

🎉 Admin Bar for Craft CMS 5.8 is out and it's the biggest update yet! 📱Mobile Mode 🌐 Fully translated toolbar ⌨️ Keyboard navigation ▶️ Queue widget 🌳 Related entries widget ☑️ Debug Toolbar toggle 💅🏻 2 new themes 🍱 Redesigned settings page wbrowar.com/article/code/admi... #CraftCMS #CMS#CraftCMS

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.

Kicking off my vacation giving my birdfeeder a little TLC after the squirrels got to it a few months ago. Cutting wood, glass, and maybe some metal to reinforce the front this time around. #maker

This one bit of dogfooding has saved me dozens of clicks this week. Dozens. #CraftCMS

Admin Bar Component 2.0 is almost ready! Here's what it will include: 📱 Vertical mode 🫣 Toggles to hide it/drag it out of the way 🗣️ Accessibility improvements ⌨️ Keyboard navigation ☑️ Checkboxes 🧩 Extensibility 📋 CEM wbrowar.com/article/code/admi... #WebComponents #CMS #Web#WebComponents

When authoring or consuming a web component that exposes styles via CSS custom properties, should a file like this be converted use the `@property` at-rule and enforce types on each variable? Is there a downside in doing this? github.com/wbrowar/admin-bar-... #CSS #WebComponents

It took me 20+ years, but I finally watched Drumline last night. It was both totally what I expected, but also better than I expected for a movie at that time. Overall I enjoyed it 🥁

VW is offering a $100 rebate on NCAS to CCS adapters for folks who have bought VW EVs, so my wife and I picked up ours today. I'll still prefer to charge at Electify America and other places, but this opens up a lot more choices if we're in a pinch. #EV #VW

Vitest + Playwright + Visual Regression Testing = ⚡️ The new browser testing features in Vitest 4 are pretty great for testing a small web component package. wbrowar.com/article/code/web-... #vite #vitest #WebComponents #webdev

I think `animation-composition: accumulate` is gonna see more action with `random()`, as it's like "take what you already got as a value and augment it rather than replace it". Here's a parallax thing where randomly-fixed-positioned stars are moved different amounts (with a scroll-driven animation)

🐶❄️

I've updated my @craftcms.com starter pack with more folks who work on or with Craft! If you're a developer in the community, or interested in the platform, it's worth a follow!

Using one chonkey toolbar to summon another chonkey toolbar. #CraftCMS

By default, Admin Bar Component scrolls horizontally when you have too many items on it, but with a little CSS you can stack the items inside the buttons area. The next update to Admin Bar Component will fix things like the logout button to make this look better. #WebComponents #CSS #CraftCMS

Noodling around with another Admin Bar feature to save Craft CMS developers a few clicks. Enable the debug toolbar on the front end from the front end. #CraftCMS

This week I threw this silly thing together to help my youngest learn to type and to practice spelling the handful of words his teacher sends home every week. It started off as a tiny input and button thing, but I kept adding things to it. 🦖🦕🎢 wbrowar.com/typing-with-dennis #webdev #webdev

My kids proceeded to ruin an 80s classic by singing it as: "86-75309" (Just take a second to think about how that would sound like). #music #67

Sharing this again because the kids are home and this is what we're up to today 🎃 wbrowar.com/article/maker/slo... #halloween #pumpkins #snacks

Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

Hi, friends! I'm looking to get better at this Web Components thing and would love your opinions. wbrowar.com/article/code/crit... #WebComponents #CSS #JavaScript ##WebComponents

🥃 Admin Bar for Craft CMS 5.7.1 is out with a quick update to how API requests are displayed. The progress bar now fits the theme you choose and flashes to green when a successful API request is made. It'll flash red on error (like when Admin Bar can't reach the CMS). #CraftCMS #CMS

Yay or nay? POV: you make an API call from your admin toolbar and the toolbar is a visual progress bar. The attribute values for this can be: Display progress in blue: 0-99 Success in green: 100 Failure in red: -1 #WebComponents #CSS

LEGO has slowly been selling my childhood back to me and I'm here for it 💸 #LEGO #Nintendo #Gremlins

After a bunch of tiny tweaks and design iterations I'm proud of my simple little toolbar component. I have some ideas for markup optimizations and a few new features, but I'm happy with the current design and how flexible it is to change it. #CSS #WebComponents

I'm really looking forward to Ghost of Yotei and I hope it's as awesome as Ghost of Tsushima. I've done everything I can to avoid spoilers in trailers and reviews, but the few I've come across sounds promising!

This was my first time listening to Podcast Awesome and I really liked this conversation with @stuffbreaker.bsky.social around the Web Component Toolkit. overcast.fm/+AA-SZfiTLO4 #webdev #webdevp#webcomponents

Okay, this was sort of an accidental thing that happened when moving through Live Photos on the Photos app of my iPhone. I'd caption this: "<record scratch> you might be wondering how I got here.." 🐶 #dogs

The last of my UniFi cameras is up! This one took a while to run Ethernet from the basement through the exterior of the house, plus I didn't want to permanently install it into the soffit because it might need to move in the future. Painted aluminum worked for a nice temporary mounting setup.
