@cabel fun twist on that, my wife has SSD (Single-Sided Deafness) and she won’t let me buy her a full set of airpods just to ignore one of them. so i find them on ebay where someone lost the (one on her deaf side) and when i explain this to the seller they are usually really stoked that someone is going to get 100%+from the situation they have found themselves in.

working on a function whose name involves the word Anonymous and every time i type it i end up typing Anonymouse

@atpfm @siracusa fiero? ferrari? ;) https://carsandbids.com/auctions/3L66bXyY/1988-pontiac-fiero-mera-conversion

@caseyliss 🎉 well-deserved, Casey!

@fkinoshita :) can't tell if serious but someone wrote an RFC in 1995. https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1855

@njf i've been loving it. i don't use it a lot, but what @caseyliss did was remove friction from something i instinctively want to do. before Callsheet i would think "what other movies was that actor in?" and then my brain would think of (that website) and then my brain would think "ugh ads terrible nevermind."

Callsheet means i can be curious and satisfy it without grimacing.

@mescutia good question! i'm lactose intolerant so if i want to update it i'd have to take a pill

i added a 'hamburger' menu to the mobile view of my website and it was more fun that i've had coding in a long long time.

and to think how much it may delight (or confuse) the user who is statistically unlikely to visit and/or discover the feature!

@shanselman

@heymarkreeves yeah mine right now seems limited to the engine-side but i’ve got an endoscope on the way to check out the heater core/dashboard side. if i have to pull the dash i guess that’s on my summer project list.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

my truck is 22 years old. i expect some problems like this. surely they have fixed it by now? in my searching for posts about this topic, i’m finding owners of the 2019+ model having the same problem.

today i began figuring out where the mouse nest is in the cabin-air system of my truck. i found the nest! er, i found _a_ nest. and i may have to disassemble my entire dashboard to disassemble the entire climate control system to find (more). ford could have solved this problem with a piece of wire mesh that costs $0.06.

i have a sneaking suspicion that my tires have been delivered

@atpfm @siracusa maybe your cold water pipes dripped some condensation onto the monitor? 🤔

this week i published a fun little project chronicling books i've read. currently i only list books since owning a Kindle (Amazon keeps track of every book you've purchased or borrowed from a library -- i scraped that info).

in the future i want to backfill pre-Kindle books & start annotating / commenting on entries.

looks super basic and for now that's kinda the point.

@jessamyn privacy by default or developer omission/error? tough to tell nowadays

@jayroh @irafcummings @fred @threetonesun oh is the tv series just based on the first book? i read seven books

designers of grill pans should be legally required to use a grill at least once in their lives. #

my favorite part of this week was the end.

when it ended? that was my favorite part.

@atpfm listening to the liquid glass discussion - i found the intro video from wwdc to make well-reasoned arguments and i think if this is implemented as intended, it will be good. obviously we’re deep in beta territory right now https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2025/219

@irafcummings @threetonesun i look forward to watching this soon since i loved the books so much. it's tough to get the family on-board with episodic television though, perhaps i can just say “there's this new youtuber called ‘Martha Wells’…”

that thing where you've been fretting about how to integrate a new feature/datatype into your existing site in a disparate technology and then 💡

i can just make it a subdomain

i call it “winning the Apple News lottery” when i open up the application and don’t see a photo of the president

a milestone quietly passed this week. 29 years ago, i started my first professional web development job. “Webmaster” at Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston.

@RecDiffs @siracusa @hotdogsladies did you have a similar experience in school?

“michael refuses to apply himself.”

@fred @marcamos does this mean i don’t have to learn metric anymore?

fun exercise: viewing archives of my website on my 34" ultra-widescreen monitor. (inconceivable monitor sizes at the time, of course) https://history.mikesusz.com/

@atpfm @siracusa we've already done AI in a Potato, it was not good

@jsnell @sixcolors a few from my archives that you might like

@annika ooh that's a nice refresh. i went with a lenovo Y34wz-30 because of mini-LED backlight, but i really haven't used HDR much because the bright is BRIGHT.

@annika ooh neat, which one? is it widescreen? i had a monoprice 34" for a while, my wife took that one over and i have a lenovo legion 34" now. i love it. super useful to be able to split the widescreen between two different inputs, e.g. i've got the left half attached to a dock with my work Mac, and the right half displaying my personal Mac.

@irafcummings getpocket.com/export they sent me a link to a .csv of every article i have unread and archived

@_Davidsmith this is so cool and great to see this kinda tech come so far.

i had terrible flashbacks to the 90s & manually skewing and stitching images in photoshop to create 240x180 QTVR movies from my quicktake 100 camera.

@jerzone better yet, i never told the kids what we were doing. we just stopped at a weird parking area at the end of the road and i started walking. lol

@jerzone if you're ever in the area, it's quite a sight. https://www.nhstateparks.org/find-parks-trails/madison-boulder-natural-area

@jerzone okay i have to ask, have you taken the journey over to Madison? i stopped there with my boys on our way home from Mt. Washington and it was ... quite epic for a quick stop.

@annika i remember being blown away when The Flame in the Flood published a cosplay guide when they released the game. this stuff is so cool.

exciting! creating a new collection on your website to display a new type of content.

not exciting: having to write all the content being displayed, or at least enough for now to make shipping the feature worthwhile.

@jerzone oh man, make that top panel a big fresnel magnifier

@jerzone foiled by a lack of iron!

@jerzone i keep an old magnetic dashboard phone-mount on my desk so i can chuck all the tiny screws at it while i work on projects. if i drop something i can usually sweep that around near the floor and find it eventually. not sure about sproinging things though, that’s gonna increase the target area.

@annika i’ve learned a few sh script tricks by looking at installers for stuff like Astro.

@revmem right? like two 8-10 minute spats that dropped over an inch here. wild.

@marcamos @heymarkreeves i think basketballs are cheaper
