Over the past COVID afflicted year, I’ve spent countless hours learning 3D design and printing.

I wanted […]

Context Queries in CSS
Nov 18, '20Media queries are firmly established methods for serving custom experiences based on the media being used to access content. However, there’s no way to an experience based on the context being used. How crazy would it be would it be if this were possible? Imagine some code that went like: @context (currently-traveling:yes AND role:driver) { […]
Phone as mobile’s days are numbered
Oct 07, '20The portrait-oriented, single column design approach that’s become so dominant since the advent of smart phones can only last for so long.

Stickball
Jul 15, '20
We used to play this all the time growing up. I don’t see kids playing it anymore. Other sports are easy to get pickup going. You can play one-on-one hoops. 2-hand-touch only really needs 4 players.

Feb 26, '20A theme for artists
Feb 05, '20WordPress is great place for writers. But what about for artists? Are your needs fulfilled by the built in tools WP provides, or do you rely on plugins to present your images the way you want them to look? Is there a theme that works best for you, or does it lack certain features? Are […]

Jan 16, '20How do we prove we are the owners of our content? It’s trickier than you might think.
Pizza is all about context
Jan 07, '20People who debate about whether or not this or that pizza is the best in the world are missing the point. Pizza is all about context. It’s different in different places because it needs to be. It reflects the unique lifestyle of a particular area. Here’s how I see the two styles I’m most familiar […]

Contrast is the new context, which was the new content, which was the new format
Aug 26, '18In the beginning, format was king. The mere fact that we were reading something on the web made it important. It had somehow come to occupy this new medium, which in itself was novel and beautiful and confusing. Whoever put it there had to be smart, and therefore the content as well. Then, at some […]
