I am inspired by graphic, visual design, and cute things.

I love this coding challenge idea! Doodle a day, but with CSS. It turned out so well by Sasha, too.

A gentle introduction to loading and playing, cross-fading, and filtering sound using the Web Audio API.

I’m into the way the Table of Contents sidebar fades in opacity according to the amount scrolled up or down.

... that’s my first take-away on my adventure to learn up on making music in the browser with javascript.

I’d cleared my name after the police had pegged me for pocketing a peck of pickled peppers, but ever since my previous partner got plugged poking his peepers into one too many private places, the only thing I’ve been interested in pickling is my liver.

What if, in each thing all of us made, we did one thing that broke a prejudice barrier?

She’s not going to save the world, nor cover every nuance and facet perfectly, nor convince every last hater of the error of their ways. Not all by herself. There won’t be one magic publication that saves games journalism, nor one magic game that proves games are art, nor one magic feminist who convinces all of the misogynists. There will be many, many, many voices, and it will be a long, slow grind.

I still support Anita Sarkeesian! If you disagree with what she said, or if you think she doesn't go far enough, add your voice. That's all it takes.

Be sober and vigilant. Remember at all times that while you are seeing the world, the world will see you. Recollect further that you are always under the eye of the Supreme Being. One more consideration shall close this parting testimony of our affection. Whenever you are tempted to do an improper thing, fancy that you see your father and mother kneeling before you and imploring you with tears in their eyes to refrain from yielding to the temptation, and assuring you at the same time that your yielding to it will be the means of hurrying them to a premature grave.

The woman on the road then ceases to be human, as with many on the margins, and instead becomes a barometer, a tool by which the onlooker’s (or reader’s) humanity can be measured or determined. She is an object fetishized by their compassion (rather than, say, the “male gaze”) and the onlooker can choose to save her, choose to watch, or choose to ignore her as her fate plays out; these choices become the heart of the drama.

At first I thought the beige color was "none," but of course it's actually "Spanish." Does this make it more or less ridiculous to force immigrants to learn English in order to be eligible for citizenship?

How pessimistic the participants revealed themselves to be, through the survey, was a more accurate predictor of five-year mortality than income, education, having a disability, being a man (a strike against longevity), or self-rated health.
