Nothing other than anecdotal evidence but I feel like Apple’s media servers are just _slow_. No matter where I am there is frustrating “buffering” with no UI to help. Just infinite pausing.

Vouri t-shirts are the absolute best. But there is precious little to tell you which way to put it on (tiny Vouri flag slightly on front side at bottom of shirt). So I color a little dot on the inside neck like I’m a toddler.

I made a website that lets you cut out old magazines from the internet archive (or any PDFs you own) and make collage art out of them: ✂️ clipart.studio

New demo: Animated CSS Grid Layout. codepen.io/bramus/pen/o... Here’s the thing: No View Transitions. No JS at all. Instead, it uses Anchor Positioning to anchor the cell contents to the cell. Then, CSS transitions are used to animate the contents to their new location as the grid re-layouts.

The HEIC image format is actually a Recursive Acronym. Help mE I Can’t figure out why HEIC is even a thing

Stumbled on a web site (a conference) and it was really "let's fade and animate everything in", so I turned on `prefers- reduced-motion: reduce` and you know what happened? Dick all. Animations remained strong 🍳🤦

A friend of mine stopped by yesterday with a gift for me. He said he's always admired the accessibility work I do, then he handed me the National Federation of the Blind version of the #HotWheels Braille Racer Twin Mill.

A Very Cool Thing™ about @codepen.io 2.0 is how you can combine a bunch of technology together and not worry about how to get it all working together. The CodePen Compiler just makes it work. Here's me using 5 things to process CSS (just for funzies). www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLhS...

This was so helpful to me. Cyd is the VT GOAT. I now get that `::view-transition-group` is what you target to fiddle with the *size and movement* during the transition. And the -old and -new ones are the individual elements and what you need to deal with for funky aspect ratios and whatnot.

This is quite niche, but, if you force a <table> into CSS grid, then use the new grid gap decorations for the lines, only the horizontal ones print?? codepen.io/editor/chris...

I was gonna say "just when we get :heading(), now it's `<h1>` everywhere", but turns out :heading() will be useful for determining the computed heading level.

Did your editor font go default serif on WordPress 7.0? Mine did. Like this: so meta. I guess WordPress 7.0 assumes you are using a theme.json file these days. I'm not doing that yet on any of the sites I work on. If you want to embrace that future, you could add a theme.json file to the root of…
