I enjoyed participating in Front End Study Hall #49 last week. Enjoyed thinking about how gardening and construction are similar to software development. I am excited about Ahmad Shadeed's The Layout Maestro course.

For the March #IndieWeb blogging carnival, the topic is "Museum memories." I took a cue from @artlung and reflected on two different museum experiences that came to my mind this morning. It was also a fun exercise to list different museums I have visited.

Two Museum Memories

This month the topic for the IndieWeb Blog Carnival is "Museum Memories." I decided to take a cue from Joe Crawford and share about two museum memories, one from the Design Museum of Barcelona and the second, the Salvador Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida.

I got to see The Fellowship of the Ring in a movie theater for the first time in 25 years. I started a trial of Polypane (and loving it). And @Cyd's new site design caught my eye. All this plus links and other things that made up my week.

There are many different ways that I could tell the story of my year. One way is through numbers. It doesn’t tell the whole story, but it gives a good sense of my journey and a starting point to share what shaped my year.

Playing around with grid-lanes in a personal project. I 💟 love feature queries. I like that the syntax takes advantage of existing code in CSS grid. So much easier to learn.
