• Testing out JavaScript image replacement

  December 2, 2020

  I've been thinking about building super lightweight pages that prompt the user to decide whether or not they want to load in images at full size and enhance the page with additional styling. So I built this proof-of-concept to figure out how I might approach it. This is pretty fresh and untested in anything other than Firefox on Windows 10.

• Playing with details and summary elements

  August 3, 2020

  After spending some time improving the display of these code doodles through the use of details and summary elements, I thought I'd spend a few extra minutes trying to see if I can animate them.

• Sunday Random Grid Practice

  August 2, 2020

  I could not conjure up the motivation to make anything special or slightly interesting today, but I did practice more with CSS grid.

  August 1, 2020

  Chris Coyier posted a nifty video on his YouTube channel the other day covering styling elements in the Shadow DOM using CSS custom properties. I wanted to work a bit with it so I can make use of them when I add icons to this site.
