Heads up that Chrome for Android 149 looks like it breaks cross-document view transitions. So if you’ve got people writing in about your app seeming to freeze, the fix might be to remove the view transition CSS entirely.

My Blue Ridge Ruby talk got stealth-posted! I’m very proud of this one; it’s a dense one, but covers a bunch of ground & still manages to find a good (if frenetic) cadence. Plus, it’s got an all-timer bit for me. youtu.be/CxQgGgngW…

Balsamiq Pricing
Balsamiq going per-editor seating feels like a fundamental misunderstanding of what makes it so useful as a tool. It’s designed for ANYONE to be able to use it. And, especially for small teams, you want folks to have the ability to experiment & grow! Seat-babysitting is inherently a restrictive behavior, leading to worse outcomes. Especially in the wireframing stage. They’ve essentially created a…

Blue Ridge Ruby 2026
Below are some of my rambling notes, I’m still paying off The Conference Tax for being gone for so long. The true heroes of conferences are the folks who hold the fort down at home 🫡🫡🫡. An A+ Schedule You should watch all of them , in order (don’t skip the lightning talks either!) Jeremy, Joe, and Mark created a fantastic schedule. It had a clear, authorial intent with a proper…

Another great thing about Oaken: as I rip out old models, I have so much less finagling to do because with Oaken’s seeds, I only have a small dataset that’s logically broken up. So I nuke the old seeds, work on a single test until it passes; then the whole suite.

A truly amazing gift that my dad made; a 3D woodcut of the Practical Computer logo. And the color matching is perfect too! It deserves to be right under @jennyrjohnsonart.bsky.social ’s amazing work.
The Seinfeld Transcoding Problem
Over the past 2 months, I’ve been working on digitizing our physical media library for easier access. Part of this project was digitizing and transcoding the government-issued complete Seinfeld DVD collection. Which is weird in about 4 different ways. Basically, it acted as a great lesson in: The importance of good source data, both in how you structure it and what data you have available to…
