Paid vacations
Work breaks
Sick leave
Paid holidays
No child labor
Safer working conditions
Health care and retirement benefits

Today at the CSS Working Group "face to face" meeting…

Powerful tools for defining corner shapes. (Beyond the simple rounded corders you can do today with `border-radius`.)

Unbelievable turnout in this ruby red district for the Darrell Issa empty chair town hall!

I think you could concentrate longer than 2 hours as long as the method of teaching changes and continues to re-engage.

a lecture may hold folks for 30 mins, mix it up and start involving people in the conversation and you buy more time. Do a real world demonstration of something and you buy more.

I support #Deno in this. I also support the web dev community comically referring to #WASM as "Orykle" until the trial ends.

Silly behavior begets a silly response.
