In my last Links For You post, there was snow outside from a completely unusual snow storm down here in Louisiana. Two weeks later, my AC is running and I’m near back to wearing shorts again. Sigh. I’ve said it before and will say it again, I cannot wait to get out of the south. With those complaints out of the way, let’s get to the links! Python Tips As I’ve made it a mission this year to get Somewhat Good at Python, I’ve been keeping my eyes open for good Python tips and tutorials. I’ve subscribed to, and recommend, the Python Weekly newsletter, where I found this great video embedded below. ArjanCodes covers ten good tips for new Python developers, and I’m... more →

Welcome to the first Links For You of 2025. I’m currently writing this from, I kid you not, the Danube in Austria. My wife and I are a bit over halfway through a European vacation (one we planned before Adobe decided to give me an early Christmas gift of a layoff). So far, it’s been absolutely glorious, and I plan on writing about the experience later this month. On with the links! CSS Light and Dark Themes Made Easy First up is the wonderfully named, "Come to the light-dark() Side", by Sara Joy. This looks at how native CSS can make light and dark themes incredibly easy to implement. I had no clue it was so easy to implement in CSS, but as I’ve said before, CSS has... more →

Welcome to the last Links For You for 2024. Believe it or not, I started this series way back in April of 2022, and I don’t know about you, but it’s been one of my favorite features of my blog. I love sharing cool links (and music videos!) with readers, and I hope yall have enjoyed it as well. This is my second to last post for the year so there’s still a bit more content coming, but for now, let’s get into the cool stuff! An Alpine.js Bluesky RSS Reader Folks know I love Alpine.js, and this first post is a great example of why. Andy Jarrett demonstrates how he built a RSS reader of his Bluesky profile using Alpine.js. It’s relatively simple to do so, and one of... more →

Good morning folks, as I shared yesterday, this week has been a bit rough as I found out my job was eliminated at Adobe, but the outpouring of support, and links to jobs, has been overwhelming. You people are pretty darn good, you know what? I’m confident I’m going to be able to land a good job, but at the same time, it’s going to be a heck of a lot less stressful once I actually do. On top of that, I’ve got a head cold, which is annoying af as the kids say, but, I’m alive, surrounded by people who love me, well fed and warm, so all things considered, I’m pretty dang lucky. Let’s get to the link. AI in the Browser – A Playlist A month or so ago,... more →

Hello folks – I’m a week or so behind on my schedule for these posts, but the last few weeks have been incredibly hectic. I had 5 or so (I’ve lost track honestly) online presentations and one in-person event at connect.tech, and of course, this week was Thanksgiving. I’m also behind on scheduling for my <Code><Br> show, which I hope to fix up later today. I wish I could look forward to things get less busy, but the next few weeks will be busy as well! I’ve got two upcoming presentations on Gen AI coming up! Ok, enough whining, let me share some links! Avoid Amazon’s Echo Show In theory you can stop reading at the title, Please don’t buy an... more →

The last seven days have been… difficult. I don’t think I need to go into why (even for my non-American readers), but I am doing my best, as are a lot of people, to take things day by day. Honestly, as a white hetero man, I’m not so much worried for myself, but I’m deeply concerned about my family and friends who are LGBTQ+ and other minorities. I don’t talk a lot about my children here as I want to ensure their privacy is maintained, but seven of my kids are adopted and Asian and my usual worry for them has risen quite a bit. Normally, my links here are almost always tech-related, but today I’m going to do something different. The links below are resources... more →
