13.5.2020
I convinced myself six months ago that I needed to give the Apple Watch a try. While I wear it every day and enjoy a few features, I’ve felt a bit let down by the experience. I do, however, believe that the Apple Watch makes notifications and other “little things” easier. One...

Weaving a Line Through Text in CSS
26.2.2020
Earlier this year, I came across this demo by Florin Pop, which makes a line go either over or under the letters of a single line heading. I thought this was a cool idea, but there were a few little things about the implementation I felt I could simplify and improve at the same time.

I can empathize with the little girl in Terence Eden's story. In high school, I got super into Turbo Pascal....
The New Good Ol’ Days
22.11.2019
Eighteen years into this game, I love to reminisce back to the good ol’ days of the early to mid-2000s when there was an explosion of creativity on the web. It felt fresh and unbridled, with boundaries expected to be pushed at every turn, and they were. This was mainly down to one thing, the thing...

A Beginner’s Journey to Launching a Website
22.7.2019
In September 2018, I was just a few months into my journey of learning web development. As I'm sure is the case with many new developers, it was a big task for me to learn not only the basic skills required, but also keeping current with the fast-moving industry.

4.3.2019
There is a 15-year history of CSS resets. In fact, a "reset" isn't really the right word. Tantek Çelik's take in 2004 was called "undohtml.css" and it wasn't until a few years later when Eric Meyer called his version a reset, that the word became the default term. When Normalize came around,...
Why CSS Needs its Own Survey
1.3.2019
2016 was only three years ago, but that’s almost a whole other era in web development terms. The JavaScript landscape was in turmoil, with up-and-comer React — as well as a little-known framework called Vue — fighting to dethrone Angular.
