He's really great at finding sticks for me to throw that I can't physically throw in front of him - I have to have him sit while I throw and then he fetches

Ollie - an Australian Cattle Dog mix, walks away from the camera carrying a 7-foot long piece of driftwood. He's on the edge of the water at a rocky beach, with the Cleveland skyline far on the horizon.

Ollie continues his found art series: Really Big Stick

Has the wink emoji literally ever _not_ been creepy?

Like - IRL winks can be not creepy in the right circumstances. But something about 😉 just has a sense of....menace? malice? I'm not sure exactly what it is, but there are no words you can put near 😉 to make it be un-creepy.

Post a photo you took with no context to bring some zen to the timeline.

Last time, I was tired. This time, I'm angry.

Let's start by acknowledging that the kinds of people they're trying to erase have been and always will be integral to advances in programming and web development.

Q: Relax! Racism is a boomer problem! As old people die off, the younger generation takes over! Young people are less racist! Right?

A: No. People do not become more "conservative" as they get older. That's a lie.

The infrastructure of the Internet would run longer without electricity than without trans folks tbh

Never gonna find a more focused person than a parent with a newborn who is sleeping 😂

I spent many hours coding with our oldest tucked in on my chest when he was that age 😍

My third-grade teacher had an entire drawer dedicated to things she took away from me. Didn't know they were called fidget toys back then 😂

Just realized this could mean "you did a dumb thing" or "it was dumb that you got in trouble" 😂

My answer for the latter would be I got busted for buying candy cigarettes in 4th grade on a field trip to the West Side Market in Cleveland 🚭

After school I went to the office and it was sitting on the secretary's desk. She was about to give it to me with a "don't bring this back to school, dummy" but then the assistant principal came in and we had to call my parents. Damn you Mr Nurse!!!!

In second grade (so this would be like 1989ish) I brought my pocket knife to school to show my friends. It had a fork and spoon on it - it was really cool. I then proceeded to lose it on the playground during recess.

Finally forcing myself to stop tweaking and officially launch my new site - https://danott.dev

It's been 10 years since I last redesigned the site. You can read about the updates here: https://danott.dev/thoughts/new-site-danott-dev

The Compressed podcast with Amy Dutton and @jamesqquick.bsky.social has become one of my favorite tech pods (other than the @virtualcoffee.io podcast obviously)

Their recent no-guest Q&A was really great! I always worry those will end up being self indulgent or self referential but nope!

"creating html emails has quickly become the bane of my existence. second only to ie."

IE - not a problem anymore. HTML emails: STILL A PROBLEM

"I've really gotten in to using transparent PNGs for drop shadows. It excites me."

https://twitter.com/danieltott/status/515453672?s=20

So yeah this used to be a thing. If you've never had to cut out transparent pngs for drop shadows in front-end...be glad.

Found some great gems looking through my old tweets:

Had to go find my first tweet and mirror it 😂 https://twitter.com/danieltott/status/501566022?s=20

So, this is Bluesky.
