Made it to SF!
Dock of boats in fishermans wharf in san francisco. The boats from left to right are outlined in blue, red, yellow green and turquoise. A seagull sitting on a barrier with alcatraz in the distance. The seagull is staring into your soul. Photo taken through a chain link fence. A building says "EAT CRAB" in the distance.

Made it to Tokyo! I'll be giving a talk at @hono.dev conf on Saturday.

Haven't done much exploring yet, but here are some shots I took of Shiodome / Ginza after landing.
Trees in the foreground. A large ventilation pipe on the left. Tall buildings that go on in the distance. A stack of Japanese street signs on the left. A building with lights on in all of the offices on the right. The signs from top to bottom: Blue pedestrian sign, parking hours sign, no parking sign, parking 60 minutes sign. Pedestrian walkways. Picture taken from below. Picture taken through a glass window with rain drops on it. We can see a blurry neon sign through the glass and blurry tall buildings.

Had so much fun MCing and speaking at #JSNationUS this year! This was my 2nd time MCing and my first talk at a non local conference. Amazing experience! @jsnation.gitnation.org

Thanks to @henrihelvetica.bsky.social @thebetterdaphne.bsky.social @beaucarnes.bsky.social for being awesome MCs with me!
CJ standing at a podium giving his talk. A picture from the back of the room with CJ giving his talk. The slide displayed shows frontend-framework logos. It is hard to estimate the number of people in the room, but it is probably close to 1 million and likely the most people ever to watch a javascript focused conference talk. That last line was a joke. Sorry if you are hearing this through a screen reader. In reality, the room is like a small movie theater which is about 70% full. All of the MCs of JSNation 2024 waving. From left to right there is CJ, Beau Carnes, Henri Helvetica and Daphne Oakes CJ sitting on stage with Rich Harris during Rich's Q&A session.

Using tailwind + vite. With the ?inline param on the import, I can embed the styles in the component.

You can do this in vite with regular css imports as well, but tailwind is nice because the resulting build includes all the styles in a single import.
// example web component that uses tailwind import tailwind from "./index.css?inline"; export class MyComponent extends HTMLElement { constructor() { super(); const styles = document.createElement("style"); styles.innerHTML = tailwind; this.append(styles); // rest of the codes } }

A day of sight seeing in New York City on November 16th 2024, through the lens of my Sony Digital Mavica MVC-FD73 - released in 1999 - it can store 35 - 640x480 JPGs per 1.44MB 3.5" floppy disk (an IRL save icon).

🎶 Well there's a ghost in the machine
Yes it would seem
My code didn't work
And now it does
And I didn't change a thing 🎶

From my chat with @thealexlichter.com on @dejavue.fm

"What you work on in your early career shapes your opinions and way of doing things."

I have AngularJS to thank for my love of Vue.js and my constant searching for something better and more full featured than @react.dev
