Yeah, I’m not even going to try to comment on this past week. I can say I had two interviews, which I think went well, and I finished some demos I’ve been working for a while, so that’s a positive. Outside of that, just want to not think too much about the state of things and focus on sharing awesome, nutritious links for you to enjoy. Intl and Segmenters You know me and you know I love the Intl API, so first up is a look at getting accurate text lengths using Intl and the Segmenter feature. This post comes to us from Sangeeth Sudheer with the nicely named "Automagic" blog. Flight Data to the Database Next up is an incredibly cool post that demonstrates streaming real-time... more →

So yeah… not a great two weeks or so since my last Links post. If you missed the announcement, my time at Foxit was unceremoniously cut short which came as a complete shock. This may end up being the year I spend more time without a full time job than with. To be honest, I’m a really, really bad place right now, but, trying to maintain, and trying my best to once again find a job in the worst market I’ve seen in my career. One way or the other I’ll get through this again, but I’m really, really tired of this. Let me pretend to think positive for a moment and maybe in the next Links post I’ll have better news. Maybe. Ok, enough complaining, let’s get to... more →

Hello friends – another two weeks has gone by which means another links post to share. Sometimes, ok, pretty much every time, I’m shocked at how quickly I have to do these posts. It’s like I blink and half a month has flown by. In my last Links post I mentioned dealing with some frustrations, and they’ve gotten better, but I’m now dealing with the start of school which brings its own challenges. That being said – the family is happy and healthy, I’m employed, so I’ll take that as a win. Let’s get to the links! Why Women in Tech isn’t enough First up is pretty important post from Salma Alam-Naylor, "Why Woman in Tech isn’t... more →

My goal for this series of posts is to share interesting links every two weeks, and I’ve noticed that sometimes it feels like a split second between when these posts go out. I’m actually a week or so late on this one, which is fine, but dang does time go by quickly. Usually summer is pretty slow, but with the new job, new product launch, and lots of camps for the kids, I don’t feel like it’s ever let up. Despite that, I’ve managed to put in near ten hours of Star Wars Outlaws this weekend, so I’m still getting a chance to catch my breath. I put the controller down for a bit so I can share these fun links with yall. Enjoy! Using Transformers.js to Find Related... more →

Greetings, programs. This has been a quite excellent weekend so far, and today will be awesome for one reason alone – there’s not one dang thing on our calendar. A day with nothing to do is a glorious day indeed. I spent this morning finishing prestige 10 in COD and catching up on my comics ("One World Under Doom" is incredible). Now let’s get to the links… What exactly do I do? I’ve had to explain developer advocacy and evangelism for years now, but I absolutely love this explanation by Ashley Willis, "What Is Developer Advocacy (2025 Edition)". In it, she goes into great detail about the job myself, and many of my friends, love, and talks about... more →

Welcome to another edition of my "this was supposed to be down on Saturday" biweekly list of links. Yesterday my wife and I made pretzels at home for the first time. It was a rather simple recipe that didn’t need any boiling and they came out incredible. We also watched the new Predator movie, Killer of Killers, which was quite spectacular. I definitely recommend watching it when you can. Ok, on with the links! Releative Colors in CSS CSS never ceases to amaze me, despite me knowing I’ll never be really good at it. In this article by Ahmad Shadeed, he introduces the concept of native color modifying in pure CSS. Ie, taking one base color and changing it to be lighter or... more →
