I’m a little bit full, tbh.

Now menus are in the WordPress Theme Customizer, does the theme review team require menus use Open Sans?

Which emoji is the WordPress theme customizer?

Kids say the darnedest things.

First pass of unobtrusive comment-reply.js for WordPress threaded comments. github.com/peterwilsoncc/rapid-comment-reply (just the facts edition)

The two hardest things in web development are naming things.

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?

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