Modern web development: “If you just spin up an instance of Golden Goose on Elastic Clownshoes, then clone the flugelhorn inside a Bangwoosh container, connect to the Zonk using Zonk -commit -rj -hgs.plonk, you’re good to go. Chrome only of course”

In video meetings it’s a hassle to unmute just to say one word especially if someone else is speaking. I created a video lens that uses hand gestures to show comic-book style messages instead. So far it’s been pretty fun!

I’ve also pushed a very small update to my website, and its chaotic layout (please, don’t look at the code 🙈).

Yesterday I had a lot of retweets and reddit posts and such for playing Doom on a pregnancy test. But as I explained then, it wasn’t really PLAYING on a pregnancy test, it was just a video being played back, not an interactive game.

Well, now it is. It’s Pregnancy Test Doom!

In terms of perceived performance, I’ve said before that ‘More Weight Doesn’t Mean More Wait’. In other words, you can make a heavy page appear to load quickly by sorting your delivery priorities. But I should add that more weight often does mean more waste. https://twitter.com/gerrymcgovern/status/1301093367351304192

The Plus Four Wristlet Route Indicator, a British product from the 1920s, is a scroll-map navigator in the shape of a watch. It came with tiny interchangeable instructions that you scrolled manually to see which roads to take when driving.

I’m always using percents in CSS, but often have to stop and ask: “% of what?”
