A not-unexplainable, but interesting and somewhat unexpected side effect of `@property` to know about.

Wow, what a somewhat unexpected side effect of `@property`! I think you identify a good issue because sometimes I’ll need to add a CSSOM type a local component variable to achieve an animation or effect, which ideally wouldn’t have a global impact. And out-of-order complicates thats a bit.

This one goes super hard. Might have to make it a reality

Pen and watercolor 

Cowboys again. This time one of our boys has lost his boots. Standing in a field of long grass the cowboy points towards the ground and shouts back to his colleague, “Lil bone people got muh boots.” This makes no sense to the other cowboy who sits atop his horse away from the action. He responds, “Lil wut?” Sure enough in the foreground we see a squad of little bone people scampering through the grass with the stolen cowboy boots. They’re thrilled. How the bone people got the boots off the cowboy is unclear.

Artist’s note: I tend to draw drawings from the same perspective (straight on) most of the time. This idea came about when I was goofin around trying to draw a character from a lower angle. I like that the story unfolds with the foreground, mid-ground, and background all working together. There’s a draft of this one included in the Spooky Pants book. Coming out next week!

fridge-cigarettes.pckt.blogai thought dump #1hello blog. i was wondering if anyone was doing this, where they track their thoughts on ai as time goes by and the technology advances and the richer get richer, blah blah blah. it's october 8, 2026. i've not moved politically or ethically on much, but ai has definitely been a test for me when it comes to being an active listener, researcher, and experimenter while also wanting to reduce harm in the world - not create it for the sake of invention. i'm not perfect, but i want the best for everyo...

Got a few dozen myself. And I will either alienate all my online friends or make myself unemployable for the rest of eternity. There's no middle ground.

85% web components, 15% donuts. As Jesus Christ intended.

As your president, I will ask Congress to eliminate all SAE imperial sizes for screws, nuts, and bolts. And the only acceptable heads will be Torx, Robertson, and maybe Allen.

@davatron5000.bsky.socialOct 9, 2026, 1:47 PM

There are too many types of screws and not enough people are talking about this.

"Also make sure we're adding space in our code where it adds clarity. You write code like a monster who has never seen daylight." > Fair. I’ll add breathing room
