If GameStop buys eBay the FunkoPop Nexus will be completed! The Ancestors warned of this.

Private pens have been OP my whole career. This elevates that 10x.

/me at the mall: $35!?!! for a t-shirt!?! That’s way too much! /me online: $75 for a mouse pad!?! well, I guess that’s just what they cost now.

@tolin.ski @wesbos.com @jason.energy On your videos recordings, how far is the background from the edge of your desk? pls to send me 3d renderings of your entire studio setup. thank you.

Intent-to-Ship: Brown Noise Machine API. Developer demand for creating a frequency that causes users to shit their pants is at an all time high.

It's almost like there's an upcoming event for the company, heavily focused on AI, where product pushed it to be released.

I did up a new talk! I'm calling it In-N-Out Animations, and covers animating elements in and out of view/existence. It's FREE to see tomorrow at @smashingconf.com's Meet Style Sheets event. smashingconf.com/meets-style-... See ya there or, be `display: none;` or... uh, a funny version of that.

Default Claude frontend-skill is starting to give me the ick in a major way.

Engineers treat perceived friction as a problem to be automated away, while digital accessibility is more about reframing how to think about and approach the medium. We'll be doing this dance until the heat death of the universe.

Got a chance to have another #designsystems therapy session with @bradfrost.com and Ian Frost on @shoptalkshow.com this week. This time about the intersection of AI and Design Systems. shoptalkshow.com/713/

Interesting talk from @anniesullie.com at BlinkOn about categorizing every site on the web. Gets into the data around the ~12:30 mark. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dN3C...

📝 Post-mortem on my "lots of little HTML pages" approach — still like it. The browser's most basic feature is following a link. Can I build a site’s interactions around just that? e.g. a "menu" is <a href="/menu/"> + CSS view transitions blog.jim-nielsen.com/2026/small-h...

TIL crows only *look* black to us — they’re actually very colorful in ways human eyes are unable to perceive. 🤯 Remember that next time people can’t see your “colors”. Some colors just require different eyes.

Wonder how many codegen prompts are just variations of "make typescript happy"

When I started work on Stuart Gibbs's Moon Base Alpha series, I started up a pinterest board for inspiration. Thought I'd share with you some of the images I saved that helped me get into that sci-fi, space-y vibe. The first, of course, was AKIRA by Katsuhiro Otomo. Loved this two panel spread.

I am weirdly bullish on the in-browser Prompt API (have draft post, could share) but I support Firefox’s position here. - Don’t want another Widevine/DRM situation - A BYO(ethically-sourced)SLM solution would be welcome - Accuracy problems remain - Macro AI industry is in a weird state

A lot of times when I'm stuck and/or sick of a design I'm working on I like to make a copy and just start making changes that I know likely won't stick. Things that are unreadable/messy. Just to try to knock things loose.

I would happily trust Netlify with my data layer. They've been the greatest hosting provider I've ever had. My only feedback note would be to rebuild the kickass devrel team. I think we all benefitted from their outwardness and creativity.

Anyone have a good read on 3:1 non-text contrast? Sort of going through the five stages of a11y grief here... 1. denial: it's fine, i'm not the problem 2. anger: wcag is the problem 3. bargaining: apca tho, amirite? 4: depression: there's no such thing as an accessible website 5: acceptance: ugh

Weirdly, I received the same feedback on my latest performance review.

It’s fair to say that the V8 javascript engine runs on billions of devices today. And if you apply to this position on my team, you might get to work on it! Talk about impact!

Weird to not be on @shoptalkshow.com today, but for good reason! We had a cheer competition in Tampa and turned it into a mini-vacation. I locked my computers in a safe for the week and it feels pretty good. Thanks to @chriscoyier.net and @scottjehl.com for holding it down. shoptalkshow.com/712/

AI doesn’t kill craft. Craft in our design job is structure, hierarchy, clear communication. The danger: AI tools push designers (and non designers) into building products super fast by skipping these important iterations. Accepting the first output as done.

Edge's experience is similar, and the benefits accumulate all through the stack. Moving to WC from React delivers more than 40% faster LCP at P75 for us, but also dramatically better memory use and interactivity all the way down the device performance curve.

The running theme of last night‘s dream parade was “Forgetting people’s names.” Cooooool that my brain can give me an extra dose of anxiety while sleeping.
