Armchair rocket scientist graffiti existentialist. Old enough for it to hurt when I stand up, not old enough to have stopped noticing. Agnostic in principle, atheist in practice, #CSS guy, mzungu. I’m only here for the food.

Patiently over here waiting to put the class "nose" on all select menus as soon as we get ::picker sorted out. Because, yes, I am very mature.

I’m excited to share a new project from Adobe Spectrum Web Eng that tracks support for #CSS features within and across the shadow DOM. Think “CanIUse” but for CSS for web components.

The goal is to surface how modern CSS behaves when light and shadow DOM contexts meet, providing visibility into feature parity, usage details, and outstanding issues and bugs. We hope it’s a useful resource for the web components community, and we’d love your feedback and contributions!

Modern CSS Feature Support For Shadow DOM

Tracking the state of support for CSS features within and across the shadow DOM to provide visibility into feature parity, usage details, and outstanding issues and bugs.

Rather unexpectedly, a 3D printer is soon to enter my life (long story). It seems like printers are either entry-level $300-$400, or higher-end $1,000+. Is there anything worthwhile in the $750 area? This will be hobby-use only, not for business purposes or mass production. It cannot be resin for a variety of reasons, and I will not budge on this.
Conversation during the 50th Front-End Study Hall (https://indieweb.org/Front_End_Study_Hall) this past Tuesday sparked a goofy idea, so I brought it to life with a quick in-browser mockup and a little @acornapp work.

So this is a post that I didn't want to have to make, and it's not the way I'd want to make it - with a level of uncertainty that this really doesn't deserve.

Towards the end of last year, my friend and former colleague James Edwards was diagnosed with lung cancer. It was not clear initially whether it was treatable, but he underwent treatment (the usual chemo, radiotherapy etc). Unfortunately it was not caught in time and James was told that he had a matter of months.

You may have spotted that MDN has a new frontend. There's plenty happening under the surface, so let's unpack the technologies we chose, the architectural decisions we made, and why we did a rebuild at all.

Shout out to Gen X, and the existential dread of imminent nuclear apocalypse!

The Cabinet could absolutely pull off a 25th Amendment removal tomorrow with the perfect excuse: claim Trump ordered a nuclear strike on Iran, forcing them to act. He’d scream that he didn’t, fake news, blah blah blah, but literally nobody would believe him. Even his base knows he lies constantly about anything he thinks makes him look bad (they think it’s a flex).

It’s too tidy to live outside a dime store Cold War thriller, but hey, it’d work.
