CoPilot fail: telling me hasOwn “seems to be a typo or a custom method” and that I need to use hasOwnProperty except that’s not what the docs say.

Note: Object.hasOwn() is intended as a replacement for Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty()."


I’m one of those folks that still lament the loss of DarkSky. I waffle now between Carrot and the Apple Weather app. Dr. Drang nails one of the first and biggest UI issues I had—the 10 day temp graphs. The unbearable sorrow of Apple Weather


I’ve played around some with SVG masks and CSS masking, but this post from Andy Bell on Mask image introduced me to a new CSS property: mask-composite. Layer two masks and you can add, subtract, intersect or exclude them. Rad.


I have always wanted to use more footnotes[1]. And I have always coveted folks who have managed to pull off having their footnotes hang out in the sidebar. Just feels like a better reading experience for an aside, which is how I mostly use them. Michelle Barker demos how the coming-soon CSS Anchor Positioning will make it easier to accomplish. Unfortunately I’m not sure where Webkit/Safari is with implementing. But checking out the demo in latest Chrome, I hope it’s soon.

Got my first food buzz since the last time I was in New Orleans 7 years ago. Awesome that it was from the Soul Food Sunday BBQ & sides from Ella’s down the street.

Nice to see @snarfed.org work on Bridgy Fed working with Mastodon and Bluesky in TechCrunch


Catching up on my feeds and I see @voxpelli announced a new JS linter. I have wanted to implement a linter for my Eleventy work and with the need to convert to ESM this should be a good time to start.


Well, I didn’t think there was any good new series on righ now and then I found Under the Bridge on Hulu. Lily Gladstone is amazing and it has a kick ass soundtrack.

Inspired by yesterday, taking some time to fix up stuff around the personal site. (also testing where things are with BridgyFed)
