Have fun!

Rabbits, Pi, HomeAssistant, Media, then the odd tool you need for an itch, then a tool you didn't need, then a server rack.

Oh don’t. It’s a rabbit hole you never get out of.

Sprites on the Web • Josh W. Comeau In game development, it’s common to use spritesheets for animation, but this technique isn’t as widely used on the web. Which is a shame, because we can do some pretty cool stuff with sprites! In this...

✨ I just published a new blog post about a nifty lil’ animation technique: sprites!

Sprites are used all the time in video games, but they’re less common on the web. We do have the tools to manage it in CSS, but there’s a gotcha.

In this post, I share some of the cool use cases I’ve found:

I hate that every community is now wrapped in Discord, so much lost information buried.

Bring back forums.

Damn it Andy, now I want to do this for everything.

Maple Mono you say... It's been 2 days since I installed a new font, colour me intrigued.

Took a peppermint tablet (I'm getting old) for my stomach, now whenever I drink all I taste is peppermint. Ruined my tea.

Started spinning up the new site for my (solo) agency, using @craftcms.com headless and @astro.build, and it is bliss.

Tiny react islands where I want some more complex rest just straight up Astro goodness.

I'm fuelled by Coffee and Pokémon cards these days.

In Brum tonight to see Honey Revenge and Rain City Drive. Sneaky trip to the Lego shop on the way.

Long week, needed break!

Seeing people rebuilding their site - it's on my list but as with everything else I'm my worst judge and need to find the time!

Yeah, I can understand that.

It's an album that I really enjoy listening to start to finish without skipping a track, and that puts it as a winner in my books!

Mate, Flowers is a cracking album.

This looks so fire! Congrats on the launch

It’s hard to justify Tahoe icons Looking at the first principles of icon design—and how Apple failed to apply all of them in macOS Tahoe

Really nice piece on iconography and user interfaces. App designers should take a note on this, the "everything needs an icon" is unbearable both for usability and development honestly.

Sending all my love to any Americans out there who don't stand for this shit. Fuck ICE.

My heart breaks more each day.

My gosh, I need this Lego set.

Merry Christmas you beauties.

I had a great week planned. I’ve checked off like 20% of it.

It's so easy to do! I loved the little wolf hunts.

Lovely game, think it took me about 50 for the platinum 😅

Penpot is just bloody lovely.

Tickets bought. Let's go!

I love physical music, I think we lost something in digital.

My son just makes playlists with random songs. He doesn't understand just popping a whole album on and sitting down to it, finding the hidden tracks, etc.

Nostalgia hits hard for me here.
