If you need a little giggle

My very first time going on a rollercoaster with loops and the guy behind me yelled, "HOLD ONTO YO' GLAAASSES!!"

My noise cancelling headphones are no match for the accordion playing in the airport. WHYYYYYY

I got to fly to TX over the weekend to see Ben Folds perform with one of my best friends. He is still my favorite and I was definitely crying at several points. It's so amazing to hear such a breadth of music -- it was his own "theme and variations" on his songs which was absolutely incredible.

I got to see Nate Bargatze yesterday! A legend!

"Not my gumdrop buttons!"

Why is the quality of phone hold music so bad? You'd think with technological advances it wouldn't sound tinny, robotic, like I'm underwater, and have inconsistent volumes. 🧐

Yesterday I made some raaaaaaaaaaaspberry sorbet the kind you find in the grocery store

Today's the day! I'm updating a project for work from Node v. 18 to the latest stable version and then updating each dependency individually and testing to see if anything breaks!

Him: Would you like to go out for dinner for our anniversary? Me: Yes, where would you like to go? Him: Well, we could go to IHOP - the kids would like it. Me: Have you heard of Dee-vor-chay? Him: Ooh that sounds interesting - is it Brazilian?

What's up with Amazon advertising "local" products to me? Seems like a marketing ploy.

I never, ever want to hear again that women are too emotional to be leaders.

I'm upgrading a site from the Next.js pages router to the app router and switching files from JS to TS.... Currently playing whack-a-mole with random linting errors.

(alarm rings) Me: "Hey Google, cancel." Google: "It looks like you have 46 alarms. Do you want me to cancel the...." 🫣🤭

I had a blast last night at the live taping of "Syntax" in Denver! I got to meet @wesbos.com, Scott, and CJ and network with a lot of other people at the event! It was so much fun. My favorite part was watching them do the CSS battle.

I was trying to search for a GIF and typed "Guillermo del" and intellisense suggested "taco" as the next word. Guillermo del taco - that's a new one!

I like the idea of zip closure on food bags to keep things fresh. I hate the execution.

I am not a fan of Google opening links within Gmail and then when trying to login to that website they send a code to my email but if I go back to my email, I start the loop all over again. Anyone know if you can default Gmail to open links in the browser instead?

I got to build a micro React project that will be embedded in a Squarespace site - that was cool :) Also, didn't know that was possible! I've embedded a web page before but not a separate app.

And now... back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Always do your due diligence before jumping to conclusions.

What tech documentation do you use the most? For me, it's Tailwind CSS.

Found some cool background designs here: www.svgbackgrounds.com

I love listening to Lofi Girl when I'm coding... I just can't take any songs that have phasing from right to left.

I just typed `npm ruin dev`... Thankfully, it didn't work.

I worked with a team to create an application called DSD Services and then made a video all about it! Check it out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOdA...

Does anyone else have weird issues with Notion updating? I am in a shared Notion and whenever I move a task in the Kanban board, ALL of the tasks disappear. I have to quit and restart the app every time!

Haha I just experienced this the other day, hilarious!

Well it looks like today is going to be one of those days where I need to record a video voice over at a computer I can't move while kids at the in-home daycare next door yell and their giant dog barks 🤪

Figma has Slides?! Is this new? It makes my visual editing heart so happy!

And here I thought "Vibe Coding" was coding with great music playing 😅

It's a banana bread kind of day! 🍌

I once created a step form that was atrocious. Granted, so much *very specific* validation was needed, but it was like Frankenstein. Today, I am happy to report that I have achieved step form redemption! This one is a beaut!

Does anyone else find that sometimes you have to just close your IDE and reopen for TypeScript to realize that you really DID fix the type error? 😅

I'm working on incorporating FullCalendar into a project. As I was about to try some gymnastics to manually add accessibility with focusable elements, I realized that they have an `eventInteractive` attribute that I need to set to true and suddenly events on the calendar are more accessible!

I just designed a logo for a project I'm working on with my team and I *might* have used Comic Sans for the text to play a joke on them. I wonder if they'll say anything!

I coded a flowchart today with Mermaid. Has anyone else used it before? What do you think? Also, a bonus is that it was available in code snippets within Notion so it was much easier to just code and go. With the "Split" feature I could see the results right away.

Feeling thankful for @dthompsondev.bsky.social and all who have helped put this together - and now my team leads. I'm looking forward to hitting the ground running with my team!

I asked my husband to give antibiotics to our daughter today. She's not a fan. I now refer to him as "The Amoxicillin Villain" 🦹‍♂️

If everything is !important, nothing is important.

I'm making updates to a Bootstrap website for a client from over 3 years ago... I forgot how cumbersome it feels. It's also funny how it's similar to Tailwind but in a way less convenient and straightforward way.

I just used Nodemailer to email a message from my Next.js site's contact form and it worked!!

Today I was creating an SVG logo and was exporting and even saving as a PNG and even though the previews looked right, I couldn't for the life of me figure out why every version had a border. I thought there was some weird Illustrator setting I didn't know... Told my husband about it and he said...

My best friend can sing the phone book! www.instagram.com/p/DFVPMTMRhEw/

The song "Bye bye" from "Mufasa" reinterpreted from the perspective of parents: "I'm gonna be the last thing you see before you go ... night night..."

I find that this time of year my *very dry* fingerprints stop working to log into my devices.

Does anyone actually shop at Temu?

Thanks to Curly Girl Kitchen I finally made some whoopie pies! 😋 One time a lady brought some to a party and when I asked for the recipe you would have thought I had asked for her first born... She said she worked tirelessly to perfect the recipe at high altitude.

Going to try ice skating today. ⛸️ The last time I did this my knees were black and blue for weeks. I'm hoping my knee caps stay intact today.

I appreciate good documentation.
