Dropped my wedding ring and it shattered. Fortunately it was only $3 from a beach gift shop and I bought an extra.

I had a middle school teacher that, on the first day of class, said "when I yell CHIMICHANGA that means stop and turn your attention to me!" and she only did that like once because yelling tex-mex dishes while middle schoolers are misbehaving didn't hit the way she thought it would

I somehow created a merge conflict, with myself, on the *initial commit* of a brand new git repo. I'm sure there's an explanation, I was doing weird stuff, but still. I'm very impressed/disappointed with myself.

Chipotle gets our orders wrong a lot, but this is prob the best one yet. Kid’s cheese quesadilla, but instead of cheese, they put… nothing. A kid’s nothing quesadilla 😅

... say what now

so glad I got the chance to develop this interactive dataviz piece for @puddingviz.bsky.social! I'm really proud of how it turned out, and amazed there are others who also love cooking + math + web dev enough to help me make this silly dream a reality

It's easy to miss a key feature of Node's TypeScript support that was released on Friday: it's zero config 💥 Meaning you don't need to put anything in package.json. Strictly speaking you don't even need a tsconfig to run the code. nodejs.org/en/blog/rele...

Been feeling like a ghost at work lately. People ignoring my requests, pointing out things I've already pointed out, forgetting I worked on a project. I don't think it's malicious. But it's not fun.

huh, the new Donkey Kong game is a prequel to Mario Odyssey www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVUi...

Me: Everything at work is down. Wife: Oh no... Wait, did you do it? Me: I only wish I had that kind of power.

Spent half my day solving something and while I'm typing up the PR on GitHub I suddenly realize there's an easy fix that doesn't even require any code. So it goes.

I feel like a lot of posts in /r/MaliciousCompliance could be easily resolved if people just tried talking and weren't fixated on passive-aggressive revenge fantasies.

What even is contrast anyway?

Sometimes, the internet is fun!

I wasn’t able to pre-order a Switch 2, but on a whim I checked out my local Best Buy at 10:30am today and got one, no problem. 🎉

I'm old enough to remember when the mouse wheel was invented. No joke, it was a pretty big deal.

I’ve been busy, so I also wrote about how I optimized the webfont performance on my new website: arielsalminen.com/2025/optimiz...

Just noticed this in Chrome on Windows. Catastrophic. Literally unusable. I just... I have a child. He's so young and innocent. I don't know how I'm going to explain this to him.

I appreciate the google cal "you have a meeting in 10 minutes" reminder but I need another one right when the meeting starts like "hey no for real that meeting is now".

I knew someone who was concerned because her new kitten was making weird sounds and shaking a lot. Turns out it was... purring. I know there's no entrance exam to getting a cat, but I feel like this is something a person should know about before getting a cat.

Apparently em dashes are now a sign that someone used AI to write something. But I've been using them for years on my blog. Fortunately I've been using them incorrectly — with spaces around them — so yeah I have proof I'm not using AI.

Goldfish crackers are excellent with soups (instead of saltine/oyster crackers). Just saying.

Been noticing "AI" becoming a catch-all term for, well, whatever. I know companies have been doing this for years as a marketing play, but now it's just anyone. In the past week, I've seen mail merge and text-to-speech being called "AI".

The market is sad. My retirement portfolio is sad. I am sad.

Idea: geo-triggered reminders I can add "buy dog food" to my todo list, but I'll absolutely forget about it when I happen to go to the grocery store. But if I got a notification when I was there, I'd remember.

hey happy monday morning everyone! I just tried to change dirs with `git checkout ../..` 🙃

Someone donated $50 to me today, as thanks for one of my open source projects. The gesture is so very much appreciated. Feels good, you know?

everyone: "Studio Ghibli is a celebration of humanity, of handcrafted animation that showcases the love and soul of dedicated artists that care about..." OpenAI: "hold my beer"

This is amazing. Look at this. LOOK AT THIS.

client: hey, were you able to make those style changes I asked for? me: CSS's haunted. client: what? me: *loading a shotgun with `!important` bullets* CSS's haunted

I uh… think I ordered the wrong size (new on right).

My favorite thing is when someone running a meeting is just like "OK MEETING OVER GOODBYE" and leaves. No recap. No need for a closing speech. It's not a break up, you don't have to let me down gently.

Anyone else remember sound cards being a really big deal? Sound cards were a close second to graphics cards. Maybe even first if you considered yourself an audiophile.

You can use the numeric keyword `infinity` to ensure an element is at the top of the z-axis. matuzo.at/blog/2025/ne... Shout-out to @codersblock.com from whom I stole the title for the post.

The "getting ready to search for a new job" one 😆

I'll be honest sometimes I see posts and have no idea which side of the argument they're on. Or even what the argument is. Like it's a clapback wrapped in sarcasm wrapped in absurdism wrapped in exaggeration wrapped in ironic humor. I don't even know what the context is. Get off my lawn.

Growing up, I loved A1 sauce. It was a mandatory condiment, always dunked my steaks in it. Got older and realized my mom just always overcooked steaks. Not trying to tell people how to eat, but a good steak doesn't need A1 sauce. Anyway, the secretary of education is an embarrassment.

I just want to play the new Mario Kart with my kid. Instead of explaining to him why the value proposition is no longer reasonable because of a trade war fueled by over-zealous tariffs and a fundamental misunderstanding of what a trade deficit actually is.

(Not an April Fool’s Joke) Every year on the first day of April, I repost this thread that I first posted in 2021. April is a terrible month for autistic folks, and this year is likely going to be significantly more so. The current US administration is openly anti-autistic. It's another thread! 🧵

Someone just filed a massive issue on one of my open source projects. It's fixed now, but with some smaller side effects I'll have to address. I'm so grateful for people who take the time to file issues. But oof this one hurt. It was live for 2 weeks. Feels bad, you know?

We've come a long way from "oh you want rounded corners? cool let me create some images and markup a 9 cell table".

I’ve joined a design system team at work. Still front-endy stuff, and I’ve certainly worked *with* design systems, but not really *on* them, so kind of new for me. Could be fun! Already subbed to @sturobson.com’s newsletter, what else should I look at?

Hey everyone! I'm excited to announce the v3 release of wordpress-export-to-markdown! 🎉 If you're looking to migrate from WordPress to a static site generator, this might be just what you need. Blog post here: codersblock.com/blog/announc...

Damn I got hit hard by the flu truck. Out of breath just walking. 😞
