I make websites, sometimes even for money. I then spend that money on things I prefer to own, such as groceries.

If I've followed you, it's because I'm figuring out how to trap you inside a tiny, magical crystal. If you've followed me, please do not attempt to crystallize me—that would be very rude.

Also, I made a browser game called Threeka! You can play it, if you want, at https://threeka.com

My best/worst #CSS proposal: a color-temperature media query for detecting whether a user's device has a blue light filter enabled (such as f.lux or Night Shift).

Probably worth pointing out that you shouldn't actually use this in anything serious. The way the moiré-like pattern appears to a user can vary *quite a bit* depending on their browser engine and display, so you can't guarantee a controlled experience.

Discovered this little #CSS trick by accident today.

You can play with the values to change how noisy or colorful the pattern is :)

In the early days of personal computing CPU bugs were so rare as to be newsworthy. The infamous Pentium FDIV bug is remembered by many, and even earlier CPUs had their own issues (the 6502 comes to mind). Nowadays they've become so common that I encounter them routinely while triaging crash reports sent from Firefox users. Given the nature of CPUs you might wonder how these bugs arise, how they manifest and what can and can't be done about them. 🧵 1/31

Made a silly joke in a job interview today, and the interviewer not only cracked up, but yes-anded me. Been riding that high all day, lol.

#ScreenshotSaturday post that is actually a video. In Threeka, you can merge 2, 3, 4 or more planets together in a single move. With the right setup, merges will chain together, leading to a pretty satisfying payoff. You can play the game (and submit your high score to the global scoreboard!) at https://threeka.com
