This week I finished The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together. I consumed the majority of the chapters via audiobook while driving across the country which I think made it even more impactful. ?
I’ve explained over Zoom to my students the difference between CSS Grid and Flexbox so many times over the last year that at this point my wife has my spiel memorized.
Millennial parenting achievement, I have successfully convinced my kids that Transatlanticism is “New Year’s Music”.
Oh how I have missed this.

My two little ghosts

My mom and brother got their 1st doses of the vaccine today. I have mine scheduled for 11 days from now. The weather this weekend is shaping up to be fantastic. The world is starting to look a little brighter. Grateful.
I’m going to give WP Background Processing a go this afternoon. Anyone have experience with it?
Our dogs always come back a shade lighter from the groomer from all the dirt that gets washed out. ?

The weather in Indiana this weekend has been perfection. ☀️

New Five Iron Frenzy ?
In design school, a Five Iron Frenzy zip-up and jeans was pretty much my uniform. While so many bands from decades ago have been getting back together it’s more than a cliché now, this album feels different. It really has something to say. I’ve been listening non-stop all week and this review sums it up perfectly.
I’m grateful Micro.blog exists for a number of reasons, but today, it’s because it’s been the catalyst for me making 100 informal posts onto this WordPress blog (even if it took me awhile).
New WhiteHouse.gov
This morning I’m reading through several of the write-ups on the new WhiteHouse.gov – initial reactions from Matt Mullenweg and Pagely in addition to the longer piece by Fast Company.
Needless to say, I’m thrilled to see developers pushing the boundaries of WordPress on such a high profile site.

From what I’ve gathered, the site’s content editing experience is as good as its front end experience.

I have been avoiding watching the remaining episodes of The Crown because then there will be no more episodes of The Crown left to watch. ?
