Let's start the weekend with some fun, photo inspiration. Max Siedentop’s Passport Photos is a series that challenges the boring, very strict passport photo, by imagining what the test of the body of the person does, outside the quare little shot. maxsiedentopf.com/passport-pho...

"One robot fell at the starting line and lay flat for several minutes before getting up and taking off." ... to be fair, I've felt like that at the start of a race before. www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

I'm 50 today. I'm spending most of my birthday in back to back meetings with short breaks to go yell at clouds.

Everything is a bit grim isn't it? Here's some bluebells and a nice arch from my run today. It's the best I've got in terms of positive things.

My last chance: doing a proof run with a Google webinar happening in exactly 2 days. With Tony Conway we'll be talking about: → #web #features and Can I Use → How the (relatively) new #Baseline project simplifies dev decision making → Existing and upcoming tools 1/2

Browser support info for CSS properties in VS Code is about to get a huge improvement Instead of looking at a list of browser versions and guessing if you can use a feature, now it'll just... tell you! Coming soon to the April 2025 stable release, or you can try it now in Insiders

Multicol has never been as useful on the web as it could be due to the fact there was no way to wrap columns in the block direction. We're actually doing this! It's early days, but here's how to follow along with the implementation rachelandrew.co.uk/archives/202...

Checked into a hotel. Told they had a flood which meant their elevators had to be controlled by hand(?!) and I had to join a whatsapp group with everyone's phone numbers visible, to request an elevator every time I wanted to leave my room. That's a hard no from me.

I see whoever was responsible for British Airways’ IT moved over to Heathrow Airport to work on power supply.

Running this morning, I passed a guy who immediately started singing "Satan don't bother me." I accept I look a bit of a wreck while running, but I wouldn't go so far as being confused for the very devil.

Didn't really want to run this morning, but dragged myself out anyway. The reward was this amazing pre-sunrise sky.

A cold bright Bristol day. My favourite running weather is when you need both sunglasses and a jacket that's like a sports duvet.

Heading out to run this morning my Garmin told me I was -2. Rude! I want a device that tells me I'm +10 for leaving the house at all given the fact it's raining/my socks feel weird/there's a high chance of being chased by a goose.

Doing some multicol spec edits. The word 'column' looks really weird after a while, my brain is trying to convince me I mistyped it.

Thank you folks for attending today's meetup. It was wonderful to be back at it! We didn't circulate too many links this time in the chat, but @rachelandrew.bsky.social's presentation had plenty of links on the slides which you can find here: noti.st/rachelandrew...

British Airways have been doing everything in their power to make me never fly with them again on this trip. The current issue is that somewhere between me flying out here and wanting to leave again, my passport number got messed up in their system, so I can't check in.

the "DEI pilots" thing is not only untrue, but the opposite of true. The piloting profession in the late 20th century was so dominated by one Guy Type that they had to invent a new kind of training that forced pilots to listen to their first officers so they would stop flying planes into the ground

There's work happening to let you add lines between CSS grid cells, in the column or row gaps. Can you help name the keywords for behavior of lines at intersections? Or do you have thoughts on the default behavior? If so comment on the issue github.com/w3c/csswg-dr...
