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 →

Happy Saturday, Happy Pre-May the 4th, and happy "I don’t have to beg for a job anymore". Yep, I’ve got a job. I’m going to be announcing where and what later this month when I start, but, finally, I can stop the hunt. Oh, and the crippling fear and despair being gone is an added bonus. So, happy day! Let’s get to the links. Tubes, tubes, tubes Last week I started off with a post from Todd Sharp so why not do it again? Todd wrote up his experience using Momento Topics API and Nixie Tubes. Nixie Tubs are beautiful steam punk looking tubes that can be connected to hardware and then changed programmatically. I did a bit of hardware hacking last year but the project... more →

Normally I preface these posts with little updates and such, but I’m too busy today and am sitting on what could (possibly) be good news. So, let’s just get right into the links, shall we? Translating Live Streams in Real-Time with On-Device AI Models I’ve been real excited about Chrome’s upcoming AI on device efforts, so when my buddy Todd Sharp wrote up a cool demo of it, I had to share. In his post, Todd describes using on device transcription of a video source that then makes use of Chrome’s new AI feature to perform translation on the viewer’s side. Obviously this only works in Chrome Canary, but as an option in the future when it’s mainline, this... more →

Not going to lie, this has been a long week. I gave two presentations at Arc of AI, one of which needed to big updates as Chrome changed their API a day before my presentation. To be fair, the browser AI stuff is in development and the changes were good, but I had to scramble a bit. I’m exhausted (for this and other reasons) so let’s just skip right to the links, shall we? Search with Video and Algolia A few days ago, Algolia had a small virtual developer conference with one of the most fascinating presentations I’ve seen. Tim Carry described how he built a tool to index and search short videos from YouTube. The number of different tools and things he did to build this little... more →
