The breath inhale of Amazon Polly (text-to-speech) is just a little too aggressive.

Submitted a session proposal to #MozFest. It would be the perfect venue to share a talk I have wanted to give for 2 years. I commit to sharing the ideas in March regardless if the session gets accepted. 😊

🌟 @plausible added custom event goals to its privacy-respecting Google Analytics alternative.

Here is how I now track 404 errors:

1. Set up a "404" goal per https://docs.plausible.io/custom-event-goals

2. Add this code to 404 page: `plausible("404",{ props: { path: document.location.pathname } });`

Saddened to hear about the death of Tony Hsieh. I never met him, but I loved his book “Delivering Happiness” and his utopian-esque work after Zappos. He was an outlier in compassion among rich tech guys.

Upgrading through breaking changes in Eleventy and Tailwind took more time than designing the new contents page for my blog.

“Hillbilly Elegy” felt like a time machine. I grew up in Appalachia and am same age JD Vance. Critics seem to lament other narratives not getting a movie too or that JD did not escape conservatism when he escaped poverty, but it was a fair depiction, not poverty porn or slumming.

I have been using Firefox 83’s HTTPS-only mode for a week. I love its “secure connection not available” interrupt because it raises immediate awareness of network insecurity and forces a decision. For example, I may want to decline on public Wi-Fi.

Working on my first real Ember.js app in 4 years and remembering how much I love making Web apps. A lot to catch up on, but also so many new superpowers.

Today is the Transgender Day of Remembrance. #TransAwarenessWeek

Take a moment to remember the transcestors who fought for the equality trans people are still denied and, if an ally, ask how you might help.

The #InternationalMensDay theme for 2020 is “Better health for Men and Boys”.

I know there is a lot of pressure to “man up” and suffer through pain, but doing so could prematurely end your life. Take care of yourself so you can be there for the people you love.

Today is #InternationalMensDay. I had a cancer scare earlier this year. Thankfully, it was something else. But the experience reminded me of the importance of regular testicular exams and scheduled medical butt stuff.

Men, please do not ignore minor pains that do not go away.

The good news is that the bar for an OS to replace macOS has been lowered.

The bad news is that the Apple M1 raised the bar for hardware with nothing close to competing.
