Chris in fact got us in y the Bayou as an opener. We ended up playing there four times before it closed.

“I am keeper of the sacred modem, wielded of the flame of Flickr, the dark Twitter will not avail you! Go back to the shadowy 4chan from whence you came.”

Curling entirely?

Hundreds of HTML elements, anchored to each other randomly, by using the CSS anchor positioning feature.

Because, why not?

A new kind of popup hell.

It's quite insane. As a firefighter, we have CISD (critical incident stress debriefing) any time there's an on-scene death. And this is dying of natural causes/accidents—watching state murder, live, is not good for you. Please talk to a professional. I would say "if impacted", but, you are.

I had so much fun in our wide ranging conversation with Jeremy and Jess. Check out the pod!

Portuguese/Italian and my wife is 17thc English/dutch/cherokee. A few others (Scot, Irish, French,Croat) mixed in. pretty much American mutt.

Well that’s the molds I have. I saw it on great British bake off years ago and that it was naturally gluten free an I’ve done it every year since.

Merry Christmas! Kransekake complete! Not as perfect as the formal bakers but I’m happy. Much better than last year’s!

So it begins! Stollen done, pies wrapped, (all gluten free!), smoker going with a ham from our friends farm and brisket from our own, and kransekake is up next!

Most of the world prompts AI, saying "build me a house" and then complains that it sucks when it's not the house they had in mind. Tools like this prompt generator help see the possibility of specificity that you can get to: f-stop.vercel.app

Oh Editors was so good. I played those records a lot and did photo of them at their 930 club stops. Such a fun era musically.

Image of the mechanical ladder outside the Louvre Text below says WENN'S MAL WIEDER SCHNELL GEHEN MUSS (When you need to move fast) Underneath is more German text which translates as "The Böcker Agilo transports your treasures weighing up to 400kg at 42m/min - quiet as a whisper."

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast'

Speaking at 10:30 this morning at NOVA Code Camp (novacodecamp.org ) today! (18 October). Come say hi!

#RailsWorld Day 1 in the books. From our fun morning boat ride with the Baltic Ruby crew to DHH's keynote, the great hallway track in a beautiful space here in Amsterdam, and the random cat in the window spotted on the way through... Lots of great talks and new and old Ruby Friends.

I’m a consultant. I’ve seen inside every kind of organization. Good managers/leaders doing important work don’t run their teams ragged, and especially don’t brag about it.

That’s a fun venue. We did a client conference there two years ago and it was nice.

Hopefully better than the developer betas! How much did they change “glass”?

Interesting. We did something like that back at LivingSocial with a precursor design system in a gem. The generator installed all the basic stuff. This was 2012, however, so a radically different era. We also had a Bower package for non-Rails apps.

Some small UI oddities compared to Chrome, especially with some custom fonts, but interested to follow this!

RailsConf 2025 UX & Design for Rails Devs: Elevating the "One Person Framework"... by John Athayde YouTube video by Ruby Central

The RailsConf talks have been released! Here’s my talk on UX for Rails devs. Thanks to everyone who came out and I hope you enjoy it!

I did some branding work for Origin Wireless a few years back. Their CeO was one of the scientists who had done a lot in this realm. They were more interested in elder care applications. Pretty nuts what they could do then.

WebDev has forgotten the utter pain of slow FTP. Stuck on a low-speed pool wifi and trying to FTP parts of a WordPress site. The sheer number of hours I spent in Adobe ImageReady trying to crunch images smaller so I could upload the site in less than an hour… countless.

Alright Ruby Friends, let's do this (thanks @joemasilotti.com for building it!)

ChatGPT overburdens its arguments with ostentatious erudition—a sure sign of faux writing.

So is this where we pop this into Flickr and start tagging everyone?

Hell yeah dude.
