Me: I can’t believe UK voters chose to torch their economy with Brexit. That can never be topped. American voters:

Stormy weather incoming but still some crowds for Mardi Gras (I'm in Lafayette, not NOLA).

While his AI generated videos are kinda lame (I can't believe I'm saying that), the mashups by this guy are pretty damn incredible. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QBV...

Any MS Edge folks on my follower list?

Woot, my blog made enough money from advertising this month to get me.... one good beer at a bar, or half a six pack of good beer at the store. I'm rich!

@warp.dev any plans on making it easier to set a background image for the editor? I don't really want a whole new theme - just a bg image.

Hey folks if you missed my presentation on AI in the Browser with Chrome, you can find it here: youtu.be/GV7wPmXKcb4... I'll warn you, it is *very* short (just had ten minutes), but hopefully will give you a good introduction to the topic.

I'll know I've "made it" in the biz when I have my own calendly links.

This morning my youngest said he wished he had 2 super powers. The first, teleportation. Ok, that makes sense. The second... the ability to change the color of his clothes with just his mind. Alrighty then.

Hey parents and non-techie folks! Did you know you can learn Python in your browser without installing ANYTHING! Check out VS Code for Education (they're on my team!) Go here and click "Start Course" and get started! These courses are created by University Educators! vscodeedu.com/courses/intr...

Wow, so maybe 6 months ago, I discovered Leaflet, fell in love with it, did a bunch of blog posts, etc. I just discovered that apparently I had encountered it in 2012 and did a blog post using it with Parse (RIP) and PhoneGap (RIP) www.raymondcamden.com/2012/10/04/B...

I've got a OneNote named 'Draft' that I use for - you guessed it - draft purposes. I was about to start a new draft and saw this note I typed and I've got absolutely no clue what I was even thinking about: "Still issues with maids"

New post from my blog: "Using Parallel Looping in BoxLang" https://www.raymondcamden.com/2025/02/24/using-parallel-looping-in-boxlang

TIL there are ambient/sleep videos on YouTube that include a simulated nuclear or zombie attack with emergency broadcasts. People... sleep to this?

I think everyone should apply for a DOGE job. Or at least, you know, fill out the form. Maybe even apply for other people. Fictional people, even. Inanimate objects. In this form right here. doge.gov/join

New post from my blog: "Links For You (2/22/25)" https://www.raymondcamden.com/2025/02/22/links-for-you-22225

Was -><- close to building a quick app I had already built.

Just a reminder, this is a *dang* useful npm package - opens anything in the relevant app. github.com/sindresorhus...

So apparently this exists: www.armoredmma.com

Watched 5 minutes of Beast Games and hated it. Felt so exploitive, cruel, and just not fun. Gross.

New post from my blog: "Building a File Search Script in BoxLang" https://www.raymondcamden.com/2025/02/20/building-a-file-search-script-in-boxlang

This is just so embarassing.

Has anyone used the Bluesky API to get messages sent to an account? The search API doesn't really work well when trying to get a date slice - important for, "find new posts about X after a time Y" github.com/bluesky-soci...

In a bit under 4 hours (12PM CST), catch me on my coding live stream, <Code><Br> - cfe.dev/talkshows/co... Today I'm going to be talking about gen AI in the browser with Chrome's new built-in AI support.

Oh... my... god... thecybertronicspree.com

“MaYbe shE’s goiNg to be in TroUble nOw” Maybe he can learn to read. The Constitution would be a good place to start

Honestly, I'm not sure this works, it's a bit of a mess, but a mashup of Prodigy and Enya? How could I resist listening to it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cU8d...

Pretty sure I shared this advice before, but when starting a new game, google for "things to know before playing X" - you'll find articles that have hints w/o spoilers. basic gameplay stuff that may not be obvious, also things like, "dont worry about X" or "actually, worry about X"

Didn't want to exercise this morning and I did anyway so that's a W and probably the only one I'll get this week so I'm taking it. ;)

New post from my blog: "Introducing BoxLang - Scripting for the JVM" https://www.raymondcamden.com/2025/02/11/introducing-boxlang-scripting-for-the-jvm

The best part about the Pope/JDVance stuff is that Catholics down here (Louisiana) are going to have to go through so much mental gymnastics.

As someone with a stutter/stammer, this makes me happy to see: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhQG...

Hey look middle school Ray, you're popular now. blue.facts.dev/profile/raym...

ugh, please don't advertise a cool utility as a 'web component' when it's a library that's only documented to work in 3 particular frameworks :|
