Ashley gave a great talk on it too at Monktoberfest which will be a great thing to share when the video is live, more visual and a bit shorter with the same message

sometimes you just chop up your work to see the insides

I rarely do this but I’m getting to the point where I don’t want to trim something unless I really like where it is going because I have too many in progress pieces

Some super cool landscaping & native ecology restoration work for these offices in East Austin

This land had been contaminated for more than 70 years by the infamous “tank farms” left by the oil majors, which once stored jet fuel for the old Mueller Airport

Aerial drone shot of Springdale Green from above the floodplain, the foreground is dominated by forest with a curving boardwalk running through it. Further back, the red curving corners of the office complex are lit by golden hour sunset rays.

Furnished pavilion jutting out into the forest with ceiling fans hung from a timber roofdeck above, supported by the slender white columns that ring the perimeter of the pavilion

Photo of an “s” curve been in the fenced .62 mile elevated boardwalk, trees surround the structure

Atmospheric shot of a curving top floor outdoor deck, with the downtown skyline visible in the background and the forest rising closer to the view. The deck has its own shaded canopy, supported by round concrete columns, and sits above the glass curtain walls of the office floor below. Chairs, tables, and green plantings are scattered across the deck.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

"I know the programming was never the hard part. It was trying to come up with fun fucking ideas...difficult to walk the line between music, marketing, technology, fandom, goals, all the stakeholders to make something that is compelling." ❤️ this interview from @leemartin.com youtu.be/uzoIP5ikr08?...

I've been so annoyed by AI tools and CSS that I made a CSS MCP that:

* consults with MDN for docs
* reports browser compat
* uses project Wallace to analyze your CSS

github.com/stolinski/cs...

Also made claude code agent for css but still perfecting it.
