Haha! That may reduce viewership.

I find it funny that baseball coaches wear the same uniform as the players, even though they don’t play. Does that happen in any other sport?

Stop being reasonable.

I look forward to the day when people stop talking about AI and just build the great products people want.

Today, I gained a new level of respect for people who install drywall for a living.

This is painfully accurate. Right up there with, “Here’s an email confirming you’ve unsubscribed from all emails.”

I feel like there’s been a recent spike in survey requests for everything I do. I really don’t want to provide feedback about the 2x4s I bought, or the windshield trim adhesive, or the same bottle of body wash we buy every month. Just be satisfied that I’m a repeat customer. That’s my feedback.

And here I thought I was just an old curmudgeon.

Ha! These universities seem pretty entrenched in taking as much of our money as possible. No promo codes.

I keep looking for promotion codes when I pay my son’s tuition bill, but I have yet to find one.

The more I use AI code editors, the more I want to learn code. I want to know what’s going on, not just try to find the right prompt.

This is my life right now.

Fried chicken

I guess it’s time to open my own gluten free fried chicken restaurant.

I made a Figma plugin tonight with Cursor that exports an SVG replacing hex values with the assigned CSS variables. It’s super basic but helps remove a lot of manual find and replace work for illustrations. This allows colors to change automatically in light and dark modes. 🙌

I’m becoming more convinced that design system teams don’t belong in either the Eng or Design orgs. The problem is breaking the rigid EPD structure in most companies that dictates who funds the team.

Just binged Scamanda. It’s more of a docuseries.

Who are designers that sell cool prints? I'm looking for some unique stuff to decorate a dark blue/gray wall.

For as good as they are, graham crackers look incredibly unappetizing.

I consider myself to be fairly handy, but installing barn doors has broken me.

Glad you’re doing better. My wife has vestibular issues due to bilateral Superior Canal Dehiscence Syndrome. Even after surgery, she’ll live with the impacts for life. I hope you’re able to find lasting relief.

I need some inspiration for office decor and lighting that looks good for Zoom and training videos. Photos, links, and ideas appreciated.

This is WCAG thisiswcag.com helps you build and test against the web content accessibility guidelines (WCAG) consistently.

The This is WCAG website got a facelift (thank god). It’s still one of my favorite resources for quick reference thisiswcag.com

I admire this. I had goals of doing some writing, reading, and learning some code. Instead, I ripped out a wall and framed in a new one for my office.

My friend Brian reminded me of this video yesterday and I love how well it shifts the accessibility perspective.

There’s nothing like the annual family group chat about Christmas gifts to change ads you’re served on social media to even more things you couldn’t care less about.

Yes please!

@figma.com seems to not be respecting the ordering of component property options recently. Anyone else seeing this problem?

Variables + modes, styles, effects, core components and product-area specific components, icons, and illustrations. (I feel like I’m missing something, but that about covers it.)
