Excited for the design potential of the CSS Corner ShapeAugust 02, 2026
I'm super stoked for CSS Corner Shape! A few years ago I stumbled on this 2013 talk on YouTube from Lea Verou about the humble border radius where towards the end of the talk she discusses the future of the border radius and a property called 'border-corner-shape'. THIS is something that I've wanted...

What I think about Artificial IntelligenceJuly 13, 2026

Feeling nostalgic / Retro websitesJuly 12, 2026
More than a few years ago, I lived in a really old and dilapidated apartment, in a really cool part of the city. And it was awesome!

Movies I'm looking forward to in 2026March 10, 2026

A lot of blockbuster films are releasing and I have to admit, in recent years I've missed a lot of great films in the theater, so I'm hoping this year will be a change of pace. Here are a few this year that look good to me: Title date notes Project Ha...
