I believe that it's always Buffalo Plaid season. Ziosk must be mind readers because at their #CYC26 booth not only did they allow you to build your own Lego minifig, but they even had a red Buffalo Plaid torso!

I must have hurt my computer's feelings because it decided it didn't want to power on & the charge light was off. Thankfully, after reseating its internal battery and then doing a CMOS reset, it decided to cooperate!

In one week, I'll be volunteering at Commit Your Code 2026 in Plano, TX. It was such an incredible experience last year that I had to make the journey again! Hoping to meet many new people as well as connect with the 100Devs community. #100Devs #CYC26

I went to Micro Center for the first time ever today and even though they didn't have the item I was looking for, I was impressed by how thoroughly the staff looked at similar items and researched nearby competitors to get what I needed. This is how you establish customers for life!

I think I inherited the "Waste not, want not" mindset from my grandmother, growing up during the Great Depression. Toothpaste tube too hard to squeeze? Cut it open, and I've got toothpaste for 2 more weeks! 😆

Day 35-36 of 100 Days of Code: It's amazing how subtle changes in CSS such as adding text shadow and color gradient help polish a site. Changed a homepage's HTML elements to follow best practices for layouts. Adjusted CSS on the same page caused by the HTML changes!

Oven-roasted carrots and potatoes aren't complicated but adding my own Cajun seasoning elevates the dish. 2 tablespoons paprika 1 tablespoon cayenne powder 1 tablespoon granulated onion 1 tablespoon granulated garlic 1 tablespoon dried oregano 1 tablespoon black pepper 1 tablespoon granulated salt

Day 34 of ⁠100-days-of-code Replaced spaghetti code of nested JS For loops with array.map(). Also, I've been going through the HDTGM movie catalog, and even "sub-par art" can have incredible aspects, just as sub-par times in life. ziply.pk/ZHQbZ7 #100DaysOfCode #100Devs #HDTGM

I called customer support because the key to my rooftop cargo bin couldn't be inserted. While their specific solution wasn't correct, it did help me approach the issue with a new perspective that lead me to fix the problem myself. Listening to others educates and can inspire us for the better.

Day 30: Added free and ad-supported streaming options to my app. Fixed a bug preventing streaming logos from rendering if other options were undefined. Adjusted code to get streaming options from regions outside of the US. #100DaysOfCode #100Devs
