“It’s Game 7 of the World Series at your home stadium. What the hell else could you want?”

At Yonge & Dundas Jays fans are obeying the pedestrian scramble, as is the custom & returning to sidewalk each light cycle.

[after every single pitch] that’s baseball for ya

"Start spreading the news, bitches!"

This is what's fun about the Postseason, folks. The tension, the nerves, the sweating, the vomiting

A round door knob.

A door handle.

As a metaphor, I'm fortunate enough to have dexterity to use the door knob shown, but I still prefer using that more accessible handle that I can use with slippery hands, hands full or even an elbow.

MacOS 26 / #liquidglass is a door knob.

I downloaded Wikipedia to my local machine to kick off my new Information Furnace.

Really disappointed with the "Liquid Glass" in the new MacOS.

More accessible design is better design for everyone. I'm fortunate enough to not have vision challenges (for now!), but these new interfaces are now much harder to see for no reason. A terrible step back.

That’s the G-rated version of a typical day.

Typical day in life of a web dev

Wikipedia is under attack — and how it can survive The site’s volunteers face threats from Trump, billionaires, and AI.

Great read and a good reminder of how vulnerable and ephemeral the web can be www.theverge.com/cs/features/...

Screenshot from Reddit comments: Lonely-Ad8184: i really don't understand how the fuck this team gets to two strikes and every fucking hitter becomes barry bonds what in the fuck! Purplebuzz: Kirk hitting over 300 with 2 strikes WTF. Lonely-Ad8184: yeah i rely don't get it they swing and miss on the first two strikes but magically become tony gwynn with 2 strikes

Love this for us

A screenshot of a PDF generated by 5e-spellbook.app that shows 9 spell cards per page for printing.

I added PDF generation for printing D&D spellbooks you build in 5e-spellbook.app, entirely in the browser with ekoopmans.github.io/html2pdf.js/ and was surprised at how little I had to fight it and how good the result appears to be. #5e #webapps

This analogy doesn’t quite work, but there is some merit to it. I am enjoying the replies.

Transitioning from D&D's 2014 edition to the 2024 ruleset The differences between D&D's 2014 edition and the 2024 ruleset have changes big and small. 5.5e Spellbook Builder now highlights them.

I finally got around to adding the 2014 rules (for PHB spells) and you can flip between those and the 2024 rules easily.

5.5e Spellbooks | D&D 5.5e Spellbook Builder Free D&D 5.5e spellbook builder. Drag and drop spells from the 2024 edition spell list to prepare your spellbook for tabletop gameplay.

I do the same approach with 5e-spellbook.app — I love the idea of web apps where your data is portable and owned by you.

Built a 5.5e spellbook builder because you can't get physical spell cards for the 2024 D&D edition. Really happy with how this turned out and how it feels to use my phone as a deck of spell cards. 5e-spellbook.app
