My week notes for the week of November 10 to November 16.

I’ve been using text-wrap: balance by default on my headings for a little while now. I find that things look nicer and you deal less with hanging words. But thanks to a blog post by Terence Eden, I’ve discovered you can use it on other content as well.

My week notes for the week of October 27 through November 9, 2024. A double issue due to my trip last weekend

October was a busy month for us. It really seemed like we had something going on just about every weekend.

I stumbled across this excellent guide by Juan Diego Rodríguez for using the new CSS anchor positioning syntax.

Two weeks ago, Jeff Bezos personally stepped in and stopped the Washington Post Editorial Board from endorsing Kamala Harris. That raised some issues for me, and apparently over 200,000 subscribers. I can pretty easily guess why Bezos did it, but I’m not sure how much thought he really put into it.

I’m currently working on my media repository, what will hopefully be version 1.0 of sorts. What makes this stand out for me is the fact that it’s the first front end project I’m building that will not use a framework in 10+ years. So far it’s going well, I’m making good progress on it and I’m actually pretty happy with where things are with it. The one thing that I haven’t quite figured out though is the base layout.

There has been a lot of news lately about both the LA Times and Washington Post not endorsing either candidate for president. Jeff Bezos and Patrick Soon-Shiong might own the Post and LA Times respectively, but I control my site. And I’m not going to be a rich asshole coward and I will endorse a candidate for the office of President of the United States. I endorse Vice President Kamala Harris for President.

Rach Smith recently posted about her building home-cooked web apps. I think it’s an interesting and fun thing to do.
