If you do halfway, decent work in the trades, return calls, and actually show up, You could have a phenomenally successful business with no college debt.
Itās almost impossible to find good people. The trades are so slept on as a career choice. And you canāt be automated by AI either.
Last week, I learned that the punk band Rise Against has an acoustic symphony album called Ghost Note Symphonies. Weāve had rainy acoustic music weather here the last few days, and one song on the album really stood out to me: Miracle. (Hereās the original punk version if youād prefer it.) Itās a song about not waiting for the change you want to happen. About getting out there and making your dent in the universe.
Iāve been doing a lot of work on my digital garden over the last few weeks, and wanted to briefly mention some updates. I completely replanted the Reference Guides. Rather than being ārecreated MDN,ā itās now big bucket of notes and how-to articles, filterable with tags. Iām harvesting content from the old guides, cleaning it up, and planting it anew. Iāve added new garden sections. I now have dedicate planters for my favorite media, places Iāve been to, info about my D&D characters and MtG decks, and my ongoing projects.

As I say later in the thread, this is not to be gate-kept. Associate yourself with the Inclusive Front as you wish!
BUT if you would actually like to see some kind of criteria so that you can orient yourself, then my personal thinking is thus:
People who:
- care about other people (non negotiable)
- work or hobby in or adjacent to the web's front end
- care about accessibility (even when we don't always get it right)
- care about diversity (race, age, ability, neuro or other)
The Which Side Are You On? (remix) by Rebel Diaz came out 11 years ago, and itās more relevant than everā¦ Gave the money to suckas while our communityās still poor Withdrew the troops but started another war Colonized and terrorized and created an oil crisis So they could make a killinā on food and gas prices Prisons is fillinā, they tryna lock up the future Militarize borders and control of computers
Working on my digital garden, and I'm building out a page where I have my D&D character, Magic: the Gathering stuff, Ren Faire stuff, and *maybe* some sci-fi related stuff (but maybe not).
Can't decide if I should call the section "Fantasy" or "Imagine."
Thoughts?
I just updated the CSS for my website to use a fork of Kelp UI, which includes a much more consistent and easy-to-maintain class system than I had before. Quick aside: if you see any bugs in your travels, please let me know! While it mostly looks the same as before, the biggest change was to the color palette. Iām now taking advantage of relative colors with the oklch() CSS function to dynamically generate all of the colors used on this site from just six hex codes defined as CSS variables.
