If there’s casting for a documentary about The Beatles, Diego Luna in Andor gives me some serious young Paul McCartney vibes at times. Anyone else see it? Or is it just me?

I love hearing outside perspectives on American culture. I find it fascinating to see how we’re viewed as a people by people from other countries. Seek first to understand, then to be understood.

Finally took the time to learn how to use GutHub Actions to deploy changes to a WordPress site when pushed to the repo. Should have tried this a long time ago. Late to the game on the whole CD/CI process, but this will make things easier.

I feel like the time has come for me to finally begin looking beyond WordPress. The landscape is rocky and its future seems uncertain. I still want to give clients what they expect in terms of a simple, straightforward CMS.

Why are the @mamp-pro.bsky.social download servers so slow. I’m on my third attempt in as many days, but it keeps timing out on me.

Went to my doctor last week, and my numbers bad. Decided to make a change and start a detox and cleanse. Clean eating does so much.

On a family drive to Boston a couple of years ago, we stopped in Philadelphia to visit the Andy Warhol museum (The Warhol), and they had several pieces of his work made into 3D versions that people were encouraged to explore through touch.

Another day, another data breach notification in the mail. Once again, it happened in healthcare. It would be amazing if the government would put some serious resources behind cybersecurity and trying to prevent identity theft.

Two years ago today, the world lost Ken Stillman who was the creator of #TypeStyler. I post this to keep his memory alive. It was his brother who convinced me to learn HTML back in 1996, and I’m forever grateful. I had the honor of building the last TypeStyler website a little over a decade later.

I recently built a classic WordPress theme with ACF. I’ve missed doing it that way even though it’s considered very dated compared to using the block editor and creating block themes for them. I believe a lot of clients still just want to edit text and add/swap images rather than play designer.

Hey, devs. Voiceover on MacOS role="alert" is the same as aria-live="assertive", however, not always implemented the same. role="region" with aria-live="assertive" or aria-live="polite" is more consistent than role="alert" for tagging form control errors. more to come on this #a11y
