I keep getting older, and the text size on Daring Fireball keeps staying the same.
I feel this soo much. It's part of the reason that I make the default font as big as it is. I understand that a user might have a default style sheet or setting. I feel that designing for a larger initial font, makes this particular theme more flexible.
To be honest, I don’t want my tools to be able to write in my style. I have enough trouble communicating and don’t want to get more complacent.
Earlier this week, with a spark for building but no particular idea in mind, I started to think about the Linux manual page. Could I serve my blog posts as Linux manual pages? Herein lay an adventure.
WHOA! This completely blew my mind!
I haven’t done any formatting for the newsletter that micro.blog allows you to send. I’ll add it to the list and it will be the next series of Labarum Posts.
This study compares two websites with identical design: the commercial Spotlight template from developers of Tailwind vs the same site with semantic CSS
I found this via Robb Knight's mastodon/website and laughed to myself when I read No Comment

I've been using tools that help developer things faster
for years. It feels like all the time we save accrues interest and we have to payback in other costs.
I’m planning on going to Homebrew Website Club Europe Meetup later today.
I really like the people there and it’s a nice little lunch meetup for me.
I can’t find my earbuds. I guess I can’t go into the office today. Drat!
Broke my streak of a post every day yesterday. I’m kind of sad and relieved at the same time.
Be careful out there!
🍿 What’s Your Number? (2011) - ★☆☆☆☆
This movie left an aftertaste. A taste that grows worse and worse every time I think about it on the whole.
I recall the line from Ted Lasso where the bartender, Mae Green, was telling him that it’s the hope that kills you.
In this movie, it’s the hope that it will be good that kills me.
The movie has a lot going for it:
I looked it up and saw that the primary writers were women. I was hopeful that it wouldn’t be a bunch of guys thinking they could write from a different perspective. “Just write what a man would do and change the roles.” I hoped that it wouldn’t just be a bunch of things that women were “supposed” to do or behave.
Well, the movie does one great thing. And that is demonstrate that everything comes down to execution. And the first thing that gets executed is the character of our female protagonist. Instead of the suave, successful Batchelor, we get an unambitious, newly unemployed woman who has a thing for what the movie would define as losers.
The most egregious issue is the motivation of our protagonist is that she’s had a lot of sexual partners and doesn’t want the number to go up any more.
Big Whoop.
The movie posits that if she has too many partners, she’ll never get married and her life will be incomplete. She just needs to find the “right one” and everything else will work out.
If you feel that being single means being lonely, I hope you get a chance to rethink that. Relationships are great and it’s amazing to share that with someone, but you can get more out of it you are comfortable being and knowing who you are. If you look for that missing piece in someone else, you might never find peace within yourself.
Enough ranting from me.
Here’s the link to the official trailer on YouTube. Watch it and imagine a better movie.
