Here's one for your "catalogue of deception/manipulation manual" etc. This is from a hotel check-in process. The marketing opt-out is hidden behind a "click here" link. And there was me believing that links were meant for navigation 🤔.

My TRMNL eink thing arrived!

There's a nice little feature on the PostPark screenshots/mockups tool, you can get a GitHub commit history by just entering a GitHub username. From the nav: Templates > GitHub Contributions. postspark.app/github-contr...

My shower-thought for today

@kevinpowell.co I just dumped some HTML & CSS into Claude and asked it to sketch and annotate the layout. It output the following SVG, which (as a CSS novice) I think is kinda useful. Not sure how well it would work with more complex layouts.

These f#&king people. I swear to god, my irony meter just exploded.

Now this is something I can get behind. There's a lot of wisdom in Netflix's Castlevania.

In Chrome v133 (i.e. the next version) you can use `atrr()` in CSS to pass HTML attributes to CSS as values—not just strings. And then use them to define parameters such as lengths etc. In this example the bar lengths are in the HTML. No JavaScript was hurt during the creation of this bar chart 😆

Costco have perfected the traditional UK Mince Pie. They replaced the pastry lid (which always cracked in the wrong place when biting down on it) with sponge. And have reduced the quantity of mince to about 5%. Oh… and it's also twice as big now :-)

I've been using HTML/CSS/JS to create a visualisation that shows a year's worth of my walks (from Strava) in a GitHub style timeline heatmap. Here's what I have so far:

Mostly walking!

I often end the day with about 50% charge remaining on my Pixel 6 Pro, so I've been waiting for the "Limit to 80%" feature to become available. I don't like having to buy a new phone when the only issue with the current phone is a degraded battery. Hopefully this will help.

I'm trying to encourage people to take a daily walk by bringing back the old phrase "daily constitutional" (blog post coming soon), it's not going well.
