Does anyone else, when writing CSS, want to use a variant of BEM that works out as BME? Is that allowed?
e.g. can I have: search-form–inline__input ?

Is it just me that hates buying stuff with the Stripe JS modal box thingy? I’ve no idea where my data is being sent. What’s my protection here?

Observation: cafe’s that make mediocre coffee talk a LOT about how great their coffee is.
Cafe’s that sell awesome coffee say nothing about their coffee.

Super interesting discussion with a friend about our first forays into TDD (Test Driven Development). How useful are basic tests? Should you test framework functionality? How can you get better feedback from HTTP tests? How do you “discover” functionality of the test framework?

Does Boris Johnson really think that “remainers” are going to believe an ounce of anything that he says? He’s not credible. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-43045553

How do I explain to my boy (6) why it’s not appropriate for me to paint his face so he looks like Mace Windu?

Finally watching the news from America. I am SO cross. How can Trump stand up and say “your pain is our pain…we’ll do anything we can do” and NOT crack down on guns. As the senator said: people die – children die – because of their inaction.

I can’t do ANYTHING at the moment without disappearing down a rabbit hole.
Trying to: update portfolio with screen grabs of projects
Rabbit hole: found a Chrome bug with built-in screen-shotting when using vh units! (https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=761136)

Is there a way to eat popcorn that doesn’t look like you’re trying to eat something twice the size of your own hand?

Is it bad that, even though I’m a geeky coder type, I find blockchain and crypto-currency unfathomably boring and have taken very little interest in it?
I feel like I hear more about it from marketers than from real tech people.
It’s nothing more than buzzwords to me right now.

Tempted to start a parody Twitter account named “The Mindful Parent”. Example:
“Mindful Tip: By naming your distractions — and the root cause of them — you can catch yourself and return your attention to…HENRY!!! CLIMB OUT FROM BEHIND THE SOFA PLEASE!!!!”

This evening I did the washing up while listening to podcasts at 1.5x speed.
Can someone find a way for me do the opposite: wash up at 1.5x speed while listening to podcasts?

Yay! Successful, DIY iPhone battery replacement! Not without complication, but all is well.

Front end dev tooling is a MESS!
Bower is not really a thing any more, so Bootstrap 4 has removed it as a means of distribution. So if you update a framework that used Bower to include Bootstrap 4-beta to use Bootstrap 4.0.0 instead it all breaks!
Thanks everyone!!

Yesterday was my 10th Twitter Birthday! Ten years I’ve been on that thing. Yes, it has its bad bits, but it’s been a source of learning, friendship, opportunity, fun and, occasionally news.
