I'm very pro-nap, regardless of circumstance.

Managed to sleep in until 9:30am and was pleasantly surprised until I realized the clocks jumped ahead. I guess I didn't sleep in as much as I thought.

I'm down to owning just 4 domains and I'm tempted to drop it down to just one.

Renewing a .ms domain went from $45/yr to $80/yr. That's quite the jump in one year.

Enjoying some Octomore 10.1 on this fine afternoon, keeping me warm inside while it's cold outside.

Also, it's "why the hell am I drinking in L.A. at 26" and not "why the hell am I drinking in L.A. at twenty to 6:00".

I am today years old when I realized they sing "He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich" and not "He just smiled and gave me a bite of his sandwich".

My more nuanced thoughts are not every coffee place is going to make coffee in every conceivable way and a place isn't good or bad because they prepare coffee in a way you don't like. It's the "what if I don't like beans" meme.

I think I have become one of those people. I saw a comment from this person who complained they weren't able to get a straw or vanilla syrup with their cold brew and I thought "maybe you should go to Starbucks if that's what you want".

Am I a speedskater? No.
Do I even own skates currently? Also no.
Do I want a helmet like the Olympic speedskaters? Yes.

Appliance stores should let you demo the appliances before purchase. Like, let me bring over a load of laundry and see how well the washer and dryer actually works.

Having just watched @ethanmarcotte.com repost about sticky toffee pudding, this took me for a loop.

It's a cup half full, half empty metaphor that popped into my head at some point but in the context of "success".

Would you rather be at the top of a trapezoid or the bottom of a triangle?

Me: "Even a broken clock is right twice a day."
Kids these days: "What are you talking about? Is your phone broken?! How can you even tell the time without your phone?"

Hey Apple, how about instead of handing awards to numbnuts, you figure out how to bring an app to the forefront when I Cmd-Tab to it?

I’d love a listening bar. I’d call it The Library to encourage people to whisper.

Algorithmic hover states with contrast-color() Firefox 146 added support for contrast-color() joining Safari 26 in the First Implementor’s Club. For those unfamiliar, contrast-color(<color>) is a new CSS function that will take a <color> as input ...

Good stuff. Kinda makes me miss working on design systems.

Black light switch on a black wall in a dark room also isn’t the best idea.

Maybe black text on black background in a dimly lit elevator isn’t the best idea.

jQuery is 20 years old. That, Prototype, and Scriptaculous were probably my favourite JS tools to play with.

Light snow is easier but on the flip side, it blows everywhere and end up with drifts.

Ottawa is getting dumped on with 35cm of snow expected. I don’t miss shovelling. I didn’t mind shovelling. Maybe even enjoyed it. But I don’t miss it.
