I like to rehearse plugged in & at a lectern. Or ironing board.

No idea what prompted me to take this photo four years ago.

Anyone with a Galaxy S3 able to do me a favour and hit it with a hammer?

Presto looks great if you have 2.7 children and need to cook dinner.

As dumb as it is, I wish it was possible to do this as feature detection.

<style>
.js #w {display:none; }
.no-js #w {width:auto; width:calc( 1px - 1px ); overflow:hidden; }
</style>
<div id="w">I resent you</div>

A one word search on Flickr has produced a large bucket of crazy. That word: LIES.

It’s both weird and convenient this works.

<script>
var pwcc="working";
alert( window.window.window.pwcc );
</script>

Kickstarter to try and regain credibility after selling out to a politician.

After seeing Nacin’s talk, I stand by my call on the most important Emoji commit. I meant the full feature, not just the polyfill.

Huffduffing the ALA Sass Talk to keep up with Drama. http://alistapart.com/event/sass-talk

Four years ago today the UK condemned itself to an eternity of tactical voting.

Oh Britain, what have you done? I guess the house of lords was fair warning. I'm not angry with you, I'm disappointed. #av

(Repost) After comments about WordPress’s emoji inline script, I wrote up why performance can be counter-intuitive. https://peterwilson.cc/intuition-is-crap/

Faux mouse events, making people swear since June 29, 2007.

I can never tell doctored Bill O’Reilly quotes from real ones.

No, that’s not it. I assume they’re doctored and they never, ever are.

WordPress core committers, what type of Whisky do you like?

Damn it, this comment from @mor10 has me thinking about a project.

Step 1: A WP Pattern Lab based on Underscores.

State of #WordPress themes today: Too much focus on fancy front pages, not enough focus on large fonts and white space.

Question vis a vis regular night at City Wine Shop & cholesterol.
* Are polenta chips low fat?
* Is gelato made with low fat dairy?

This is pointless @instagram, loading videos slowly still uses my data cap.

There are more poeple with podcasts than without podcasts.

Mashable’s review of the Apple watch is over 50 Mb & hundreds of requests.

Someone’s not paying attention.

I will ? if emoji work with HMD custom meta boxes.
