Trying this again with OG information.

There are many different ways that I could tell the story of my year. One way is through numbers. It doesn’t tell the whole story, but it gives a good sense of my journey and a starting point to share what shaped my year.

I'm not sure why my earlier post did not pick up the open graph. I have noticed that Mastodon and LinkedIn have not been picking up OG on recent posts but Mastodon did pick it up and Bluesky didn't this morning.

@matthiasott.com What did you think of the book, Amateurs? I have been looking forward to hearing your thoughts and was not sure if I missed you posting about it or not. Thanks.

I want to write a year end post but think it will have to wait until the new year. Much crazier work day than I expected.

Playing around with grid-lanes in a personal project. I 💟 love feature queries. I like that the syntax takes advantage of existing code in CSS grid. So much easier to learn.

I was just thinking about this a couple of days ago. So glad that @joshwcomeau.com reposted it. Saved me from trying to track it down on my own.

Last weeknote for 2025. I wrote a weeknote every week this year. It was not a goal that I set for myself but it motivated me at the end of the year to keep up because I knew I had a shot at hitting every week.

I did it! I wrote a weeknote every week this year. It was not necessarily a goal I set but was a motivating factor later in the year.

The work slowed down a little bit this week so I took some time to learn about web components, JavaScript, and subgrid. I also enjoyed celebrating my birthday with most of my family (just missing my son).

I celebrated my birthday this week and spent time learning about web components, JavaScript, and subgrid. I also put some finishing touches on some projects before taking off the week of Christmas.

Happy birthday to CSS (and to me). Glad to share a birthday with this language that I love and made a career around using.

I got to reuse a masking technique I learned several years ago from @cassiecodes.bsky.social in a new project. I attended Front End Study Hall #42 and enjoyed talking CSS with the other participants.

Really nice site.
Made a site comparing the sizes of living things :)

The great Julius Csotonyi spent 5 months painting over 60 illustrations for the site, no ai used

Had to pull out 80's rock anthems to help me to keep going as I code up a design from Photoshop. I think it has been at least 10 years since I built a design from Photoshop.

I have never been a huge fan of postmodern architecture. (I got my degree in architecture but never practiced.) But I found Gehry's work interesting. I have only see the student union at MIT in person. Wanted to see Guggenheim in Bilboa when I was in Spain but too long a trip.

I enjoyed listening to @allthatmalarkey.bsky.social , @hicks.design, @boagworld.bsky.social , and Marcus on the latest episode of One Footer in the Grave while walking last night. Interesting discussion about different working styles (locations - home, other places).

I got one in 1999. I loved playing on it. My son still played on it till once the parts broke and it would no longer read the discs. He bought a PS4 and I still play on that.
On this day 31 years ago, the Playstation was released.

Nice write-up by @joshwcomeau.com in his latest newsletter where he takes a look at some of the struggles AI still have with CSS, including what looks like a fairly simple example that it simply can't handle, as well as the benefits of deep knowledge.

I enjoyed taking the week off. Got a chance to catch up on some articles in Instapaper, read books, play MLB The Show and NBA 2k25, and spend time with my family.

Happy Blue Beanie Day. Because standards and accessibility still matter. Maybe more this year. #BlueBeanieDay #Accessibility
