Turning ideas into action! Thanks to ChatGPT, my abandoned project list is getting a new lease on life. In under an hour, I transformed a list of design systems into a working landing page. Time to wrap up the design phase!

I’ve been a politics wonk since W invaded Iraq but I think I’m out of steam. Reading politics gives me dread and feeds my anxiety.

I think I’m going to thank my news habit and let it go for a while.

Had a great day today! Played my new Dwarven Shadow Sorcerer in our Pathfinder game, got comfy new socks, spent an hour in a floating tank, and now I’m having sushi for dinner.

I’m so thankful.

Talk summary 3/3: Together, they’ll show how today’s young coders are using platforms like Scratch to express their knowledge in ways that go beyond traditional school assignments. They will also discuss how the rise of low- and no-code tools lowers the barrier for anyone to learn how to build digital experiences.

First talk—Breaking Up with Breakpoints

It’s time to face the facts—breakpoints need to die. They’re a relic of the past, based on arbitrary screen sizes that don’t give a damn about your actual content.

Enter container queries, the future of responsive design. By ditching breakpoints and embracing container queries, designers will stop playing the guessing game with screen sizes and start designing for what really matters: the components themselves.

I've been managing my TTRPG gaming wiki for 19 years!

In July 2005, I launched a website for my friends and me to track our RPG notes. It's one of the best things I've ever done.

I enjoy wandering around the wiki, reminiscing about games past.

One of the things I love about written stories is how you can have a full scene with the big bad monologuing all while keeping their identity a secret by not naming or describing them.

I want to run a TTRPG game that plays in this space.

Imagine playing a character that you assume is human, but as the game goes on you discover that humans are extinct while encountering one of their bodies, which is built differently than yours.

If they are human, what are you?
