VueJS app to create TI Extended Basic CALL CHAR strings
I continue to revisit the kinds of things I did as a kid on the TI-99/4a computer through the lens of modern tooling. When I was a kid I used graph paper to create 8×8 grids, then worked backwards from that to create 16 character strings to represent those graphics. Last night and this morning…

Drawing with CSS: Cube Cat
I have seen extraordinary things made with HTML and CSS. I remember in 2003 seeing the CSS Zen Garden (though it was hosted on mezzoblue at the time).

I am 40.
40 I’m not sure why exactly they call it “The Big Four Oh.” It is startlingly common to hear it called that. My mom, my mother-in-law. Maybe everyone calls it that. I don’t remember 30 being called “The Big Three Oh” though. I’m not sure what I think about turning 40 yet. I feel pretty…

WordPress Graphical Post Count Visualization
I’m playing with a new theme for my blog, and wanted a better way to let people quickly scan for how many posts I had. So I used a background image of black, offset with background-position in css to let a graph “show through” to show the count. I’ve also posted the PHP and CSS…

Site Launch: FireMapper
This past week and today the finishing touches were put on: Space Instruments’ website– FireMapper.com. The site design was done by Benecke Creative, and I did the underlying html, CSS and JavaScript. It’s got some nifty stuff on it. I particularly am proud of some of the mouseovers in areas like the Oil Spill Mapper…
