From prefixes to runtime flags
The Webkit team announces a change of policy by implementing new features with runtime flags rather than vendor-prefixes. Here is why: Over time this strategy has turned out not to work so well. Many websites came to depend on prefixed properties. They often used every prefixed variant of a feature, which makes CSS less maintainable […]

I tried out askjelly.com last night
I tried out askjelly.com last night briefly. Then again this morning. I’m not convinced that people will be willing to wait hours and hours for a “curated” answer unless they are asking very, very complex questions.

Microsculpture by Levon Bliss
Incredible composite photos of insects by Levon Bliss. My final images are made up of somewhere between 8 and 10 thousand images. He takes as many photos of one insect as Eliza and I do all year.

Paddling for snapping turtles
Check out this guy (or gal). A screenshot from a GoPro video. This past Saturday afternoon we had some beautiful weather and so I went kayaking at a nearby lake. This time of year is an incredible time to paddle since every animal is very active, making nests, waking up from the winter, preparing for […]

While Photos on OS X began to slow down
While Photos on OS X began to slow down at 10,000 photos, Photos on iOS is starting to slow down as I approach 40,000 photos on my iPad and iPhone.

Though they are all the same number of hours, some days seem longer than others. Today felt long. I didn’t even write on my site! I’ll fix that tomorrow.

Working from Honesdale today
Working from Honesdale today at The Stourbridge Project. The only thing I would change about the space are the acoustics. They leave these heater fans on 24/7 and I need to take pills every time I’m here.

If Apple announces
If Apple announces a down y-o-y quarter today the internet and market are going to lose their collective minds. So, really, no different than when they announce an up y-o-y quarter.

Observations about “tweeting” from my site
It is hard to believe that it has been over 6 weeks since I began posting status messages from my site rather than through Twitter or Facebook. Here was my first status update. Here are some observations that I’ve made: I figured out my process of updating, and replying, within about 10 days and have […]

Year one of the Apple Watch
In January I wrote: The Apple Watch could be called a flop if it sold so poorly and customer demand or interest was so low that Apple totally shelved the project. But they haven’t. I’m willing to bet they made a lot of money on the Watch so far (far more than any of their […]

The cost of Unsplash
Luke Chesser shares what it cost to run Unsplash in February (minus humans): Hopefully getting a behind-the-scenes look at what it costs to run a site like Unsplash will help you with your own business, or at least give you a better understanding of what’s involved. It is nice when people share information like this […]

Congratulations to…
Congratulations to Kobe Bryant for scoring 60 in his final NBA game, to Steph Curry for hitting over 400 3-pointers in a single season (this number is baffling), and to the Warriors for winning 73 games in a regular season. Last night was an amazing night for basketball.
