Raycons come in trans colours now so I finally buckled and bought some. Needed something Bluetooth and small for the gym so will be putting these through their paces tomorrow!

A bit of a vulnerable post by me but we need your help to get us through what has been a more difficult period than 2020.

Technically this street is being carcinized not pedestrianized, which is a different evolutionary process.

Brand New Layouts with CSS Subgrid • Josh W. Comeau Subgrid allows us to extend a grid template down through the DOM tree, so that deeply-nested elements can participate in the same grid layout. At first glance, I thought this would be a helpful conven...

Always nice to get a shoutout at the start of a @joshwcomeau.com article!

This one's on subgrid. If you haven't been using it yet, as you'd expect, it's great, and you should give it a read 🙂

One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.

This is the funniest piece imaginable in the dull world of the otherwise sickly sycophantic tech review.

For real. Read it, even if you don’t give a rat’s ass about printers.

Signed up for Neocities - I figure it could be fun to have a place to tinker and post the bits and pieces that don't fit into the nice little software-developer-professional-Theo-shaped-box I feel like I have to maintain elsewhere 🤷 No idea wtf I'll do with this yet though!

Simplify Reminding myself just how much you can do with CSS these days.

“I feel like web developers are constantly being gaslit into thinking that complex over-engineered solutions are the only option. […] That’s not good for users, and I don’t think it’s good for us either.”

I genuinely adore that we are slowly coming into what feels like an indie web renaissance. I feel like a teenager dabbling with CSS again for the first time.

This is the coolest October challenge I have seen in a hot minute: weirdweboctober.website

The MISCAST 2025 Gavin Creel memorial has me in tears ngl

A pride flag with every color band represented by a NASA image. White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

No, I will not give you another business case for accessibility. Accessibility matters, that's it. If the product doesn't prioritize it, the product is bad.
