My favorite artifacts from David Lynch's incredible career:

1. The Lost Highway soundtrack. Come for Lou Reed's rendition of "This Magic Moment", stay for Angelo Badalamenti's dark, moody jazz.

2. Dune. I know the man himself had feelings about this movie and doesn't consider it his best work, but it's the weird gothic space opera that captured my weird gothic teenage heart.

I just can't comprehend how you can hear anything that comes out of his mouth and say "yes, more of this".

I really thought we were better than this.

New on the blog: https://aaadaaam.com/notes/house-fan/

It’s a story about a house fan emulator I built as an offline PWA,

that answers important questions like “why?” and “seriously, what even is this?”

It's been so long since I logged into that website that I genuinely forgot how little I enjoyed late-stage tech Twitter.

my main takeaway from the competing masonry proposals is that I would use the heck out of single axis grid tracks and grid-default-column

Something that @jennsimmons does in https://webkit.org/blog/16026/css-masonry-syntax/ that's a broadly useful design practice is laying out clear design goals.

It's often the case when there's disagreement about solutions that people have different-but-unarticulated goals in mind, and it's almost impossible to come to a reasoned consensus when that's true.

The way out is to come to an agreement on goals, and then compare how various solutions stack up against them.

New 11ty, new Grease: https://grease.aaadaaam.com/

Reworked for 11ty v3, with extra greasy bits like a modern multi-theme-ready color system, refined and up-to-date default styles, new docs, a nice kitchen sink demo to make styling defaults super easy, and a new landing page design because I simply couldn’t not.

I've been exploring relative color syntax, and this was a bit of a surprise.

Unlike with color mix, you can't use a color defined with light-dark() as an input and expect to have a good time.

Breaking a posting drought with important news; "Thank Goodness You’re Here!" is a DELIGHT and you should play it.

WPM (whimsy per minute) is absolutely off the charts.
