Stumbled upon another view-transition thing that I think is very neat. You can change which class you’re targeting with a view transition and apply the effect to just that class. Here is how my site was working before. Basically “fade the whole page in and out”. Which works alright! I didn’t hate it. However, I … Continue reading “Another View-Transition Thing I Like”

I’ve been kicking around a redesign for some time. By kicking around I mean “I’d like to do that” but making no other progress besides that. I’ve done a couple of updates over the years. Made a small adjustment with the blog boxes, and added view-transitions but I haven’t done a full on redesign in … Continue reading “Redesign Thoughts”

I had some time off over the holidays. Kind of a long stretch, well long for me. I keep the majority of my time off usage to 3 or 4 day weekends so having December 23 through January 1 off, 12 days if we include weekends, is a good chunk of time. At the beginning … Continue reading “What I Did Over Break”

I am pretty happy to see Bluesky take off. I’ve ranted many times on this blog about how I’m annoyed that my favorite social network began to devolve into some ugliness pre-Musk (I’d say 2016 is when it started getting really bad) but since the Musk takeover, it’s just been awful. However I love the … Continue reading “Share to Social Button for Bluesky”

I think View Transitions are really neat technology. When used properly, they give a site some polish that I think users appreciate (even if they don’t notice) and of course, it provides the native app feel that users are used to. View Transitions are enabled in Safari Technology Preview v. 192. However there are two … Continue reading “Safari and View Transitions”

It would be a bit of an understatement to say the past few months have been very stressful. I’ve let plenty of things slide that I wish I hadn’t and one of them has been a bit of a site clean up. I’ve done a couple of updates but there was some stuff hanging around … Continue reading “A Little Site Update”

If you’ve ever needed to handle changing some colors on an object on a web page, I think the default position would be to edit the item in Photoshop and then add it in via an Image tag. For images, that still might be the right move but here is a way to change items … Continue reading “Change Images to Black and White with CSS”

I’m doing a little redesign of the site. I considered doing a big redesign locally and then a big push to the production site when I thought it was ready but that seemed like less fun then just adding little ideas along the way. It actually allows me to blog about some of the choices … Continue reading “Making Items Move on Hover with CSS”

Interop is a project between the major web browser vendors to help create web standards between their products. I was’t building websites during the late 90s and early 2000s when there were major differences between browsers, but that doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate the effort to come together to help create a standard those of … Continue reading “Interop 2024 proposals that I like”

I’ve been working on a website for some time and while it is still very much in its beta stage, but it technically exists and can be used so…why not tell you about it. MorningPerson.net is a little website designed to help you start your day with some basic prompts. I do not promise it … Continue reading “MorningPerson.net”
