Yesterday I picked up the book "I AM FULL", by #DanYashinaky, at the wonderful #Spacing bookstore.

Read it in one sitting. Beautiful, funny and heartbreaking.

It tells the story of Dan's son Jacob Evan Yashinsky-Zavitz, pulled from his poems, letters, speeches, as well as from Dan's own journal, after Jacob died in a car accident on family vacation.

Jacob had intense hunger #hyperphagia that can accompany #PraderWilliSyndrome. And occasional #psychosis . He was also a kind and witty soul.

Last night I picked the C because it was there. Turns out the E decided to come along too, and without any announcement at the next stop its doors closed before I could switch. Went back to the C and THEN they announce they're going to be held to let the E go ahead.

Lucked out and got the express at 14th, caught up with the E by 42nd Times Square.

The new progress() function in CSS

Imagine a responsive hero image that becomes more transparent as the viewport gets narrower, helping text readability on small screens or a card that scales up slightly as the viewport grows, adding a subtle polish.
