I still get that powerful feeling that anything is possible when I open a web browser — it’s not as strong as it was 20 years ago, but it’s still there.

Count me in!

Heck freakin’ yeah! Can’t wait to see what you make, friend.

Man, how the heck do you even dream this stuff up?! So stinking cool.

California (the Song), Redux - Geoff Graham I'm continuing to poke at recording music using my very DIY setup. This time, I worked on "California" by Tom Petty, a sparkly gem that was originally

Spent a little time re-visiting my first stab at recording. Boy oh boy, there are so many possibilities with arranging and performing sound.

Undergrad: Economics; Grad: Education

That's one of the things that attracted me to front-end early on, that it cared more about your willingness to View Source than earn a degree.

I just peeked at the list of questions and there's a really good one in there I can't wait to unpack!

Underground classic!

Prototype - Wikipedia

I love how @sunkanmifafowora.bsky.social looks not at just a few key numbers, but reflects on what those numbers mean for him personally as well as his work habits.

The numbers are a signal to help us be better.

It really shows, Sara! I can say with complete confidence that your Practical Accessibility course is among the most thorough, thoughtful, and yes, _accessible_ I've seen. And it's appreciated.

ARIA. Specifically _when_ it's needed and _what_ it helps most. Feel like it's been on my hit list for years because it's a speciality unto itself.

Just a few people I really appreciate today.

Such intelligent, thoughtful, and wonderfully pleasant folks, personally and professionally.

I'd love it if all the posts in my feed are pretty much "hey, look how easy it is to do this thing I did X years go with new CSS." Posts like this keep me stoked about CSS.

Poking at the CSS if() Function a Little More: Conditional Color Theming | CSS-Tricks The CSS if() function enables us to use values conditionally, which we can already do with queries and other functions, so I’m sure you’re wondering: What exactly does if() do? Let's look at a possibl...

I love how @dxnny.fun builds off this and pokes at the function a little harder to find a practical use case... not only that, but pokes at that use case at multiple angles.

It's this sort of deep thinking that helps make new features better over time.

Clever, clever!

I was laid-off and am looking for a new role.

Working were design meets code is my jam. I am skilled at building accessible design system components, working with Web Components APIs, and creating scalable CSS architecture.

I work remotely from my home in Manitoba, Canada. 🇨🇦

Shares appreciated!

And I know Smashing is excited to have you! I also know you're going to not only do a bang-up job, but also help a bunch of people walk out better than they walked in.

CSS Length Units | CSS-Tricks A comprehensive guide covering nine types of lengths that CSS uses to size elements in terms of dimensions, space, time, and even sound.

Word! That was definitely my thinking when working on this guy:

But you're _absolutely_ (get it? sorry...) right about nailing down specific uses, ones that are tied to solving everyday sitches we face at work.

Let's put our heads together!

Damn. I’m so sorry. It’s never a good feeling, especially when you know it’s really the company’s loss for letting go of a bloody great developer.

Your feedback was incredibly helpful, too, man! It made me feel better having your eyes on this.

I'd be remiss if I didn't say that @monknow.bsky.social put A LOT of effort into editing the CSS Color Functions Guide we published yesterday.

And this post is an excellent roundup of things he learned along the way... things that I think confuse a lot of us. I appreciate having this.

It's heeeeeeeere! 🔥

YES! I find myself hanging out with the contractors I bring in for help with home projects. The craft and knowledge that goes into that work grows more interesting to me everyday. I know it's because I'm more than a little envious.
