So I went mad and am migrating my website from WP to my own little brew of something, so I'll actually feel like writing on it again. I can do whatever I want with my feed (and I want one), but I've been out of it. So, friends, teach me: RSS 2.0 or Atom? Go!

I'm trying Vivaldi browser after spending a few days around my friend @brucelawson at #cssday, who works there and isn't overly car-salesman about it. It's a bit quirky and tries to do a lot, but I like it so far. Vivaldi is the emacs of web browsers.

I'm interested in how you all deal with broken links. Now that Twitter—among others—has gone the way of the dodo, I have some in my blog (which I'm saving from the way of the dodo).

Keep the broken links but add an annotation? Note that there was once a link but no longer? Rewrite the copy such that it doesn't feel like a link was there?

"Design engineer" and "Creative technologist" feel to me like we're talking about developers with a good sense of design (e.g. their development chops weigh slightly more heavily than their design chops).

I've always been a designer with a good sense of code, which is close, but in a very real sense, the opposite. What do we call those?

In this lovely set of accessibility principles from @heydon, one thing that I've always found to be true and believe always will be true: "Most components, in most cases, should just be content."

Hello again!

@heydon and I have retired our podcast "overflow:audible;", but thanks to a suggestion by @Schepp, we've made it available on archive.org, for posterity 🙂.

@Schepp Nevermind! I see that only archive.org admins can move uploads to the right collection. /cc @heydon
@Schepp Also, I'd love to get our cover art on there.
@Schepp I am having an issue on archive.org that you might be able to help with: I missed the Collections field while uploading and want to change it to "Podcasts", but the field won't allow input. https://archive.org/details/001-is-css-a-programming-language-tc /cc @heydon

In their very first episode, Heydon and Stephen discuss whether CSS is—or should be considered—a programming language. There's also a bit about beer.
