For summer taking a bit of a break, but still checking this weekly is the plan
Sometimes I encounter obscure Standards articles that make me sit back and go "Woah, that makes sense". www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/T... . You know all those times you can paste the whole 6 digit authentication code for Slack? And didn't have to do it each digit? Yeah, thats covered in standards

In terms of Election news the county next door, Skagit WA, did not approve raising a levy by approx $17 a month on 500k houses to fund their Public Hospital District. this kind of sucks as news, because we want more hospital district in our county and this gives ammo to people saying it wont happen
github.com/w3c/sustaina... if this PR goes through I will have a credit for introducing Editorial Best Practices to a W3C Spec. Im pretty happy about this.

Im trying to re-market myself as a Web Standards focused developer and being a trustworthy human worth entrusting with stuff. Its not as easy to be anti-AI all the time and sell yourself, but I implicitly emphasize how I dont use AI (but can entertain what it is and isn't) sort of thing.
Its nice to relax. Got some relaxed schedule for the next 2-3 weeks, then back to working I think.
@splendorr.bsky.social I bought the Crankboy GB Emulator for Playdate and had to share some joy with someone. For me this allowed me to download a ROM from any old place of Gameboy Tennis circa 1989 and play it immediately, such fun. Even felt inspired to donate a few dollars to their dev team
I made a little gallery of some of my music instrument gear. Ive been obsessed with these things for a bit www.morganwebdev.org/audio/

Just been off playing Skyrim and still found moments for awe. This is honestly still pretty amazing for me at times, yeah on Switch and the game itself has aged some, but I am still finding the joy.
Possibly to me the weirdest thing about the nintendo switch was always the web server interface the switch sets up to share screenshots to a mobile device. Just kinda clunky, but safer and reliable to a degree. Would have been cool to have authored that index.html file for sure for that purpose
Its an incredible sign of joy for me that not only am able to play Skyrim again and really enjoy immerse, I actually even have the interest enough in the lore of the world in game to read some of the booklets and visual materials presented in game. I still fast travel sometimes but not all the time
Playing Skyrim on switch but on a bigger monitor. Still feeling little glimmers of the old joy, the original joy, and entering the dark brotherhood quest line for sure
Not adding to the discourse but I enjoyed the Odyssey movie. Makes a long period of time flow well
Several days without a big computer and rediscovering the joy of my playdate console. So many of the games are so good.

I like what Sia produces, they put in some craft and thoughtfulness to things. For at least a few months Ive budgeted to get some fun stuff in the mail from their studio.
Sia Karamalegos (art & photo account)@sia.studio · 3w agoPutting together the very first edition of Tiny Observations. Every month will include a watercolor print, a tiny hand-pressed linoprint, and a letter from my studio inspired by one small thing worth noticing. I can't wait to get these into mailboxes. Join the club... #art #printclub #watercolor
As a web developer things feel incredibly strange right now. Really not sure what the future holds, maybe a pendulum swing, maybe it's gone somewhat forever
I have a month before I have to really consider a plan for this wretched job market. It's gloomy out there This is providing a nice background music. deadcandance.bandcamp.com/album/the-ci...

Just to try and describe Sam Neills early film role in the movie Sleeping Dogs (1977) he escapes to a part of the country called the Coromandel Peninsula in New Zealand, which is basically for a New Zealander like going to Alaska or the far Northwest of the lower 48 states to escape one's problems
RIP Sam Neill en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleepin... this film is a classic
Sleeping Dogs (1977 film) - Wikipedia

Sam Neill was a New Zealander who cared about things despite some relative wealth and we were all better for him. I recommend his classic films, such as Sleeping Dogs
