    Yep. That's a good starting point for sure. I need to then find a way to make the navigation work better. I made those drop downs with mice in mind...

    Where to find inspiration for a (reactive) personal website?

    I've had a personal website since the mid 90's. I used to find making personal sites fun back in the day. Around the time that mobile became a thing, I lost the motivation for upda…

    Unironically, the Apple TV is my favorite Apple device. It does exactly what it says it does, is inexpensive, and has a good interface. It just works.

    While true, my prized possession as a kid was my GameBoy Light that was imported from Japan. Other people had regular GameBoy pockets or even colors, but I'd rather have that aweso…

    He is my favorite of the restoration channels. I don't believe anyone comes close to his attention to detail. I wish he put content out more frequently!

    Interesting. I had the opposite outcome. I didn't like how Pixelmator reinvented the wheel as far as interface goes. I felt like Affinity Photo was a much better lateral transition…

    Funny. I thought the shorter focal length made his face look more interesting and features look nicer whereas the 200mm lens made his face look like a big block with no definition …

    I live in So California, and people around here always talk about black widows, and are always surprised to learn of the existence of brown widows. I find this odd because I never …

    Oh, I'm sure. I've used the migration tool when going from one mac to another (Specifically from G4 to Intel iMac in 2006) which might clean some things out. Looking at the plists …

    My current OS actually stems back from the Public Beta that I ran on my G3. I've cloned the data from HDD to HDD/Computer to Computer and upgraded the OS every time, and it's curre…

    At one point I forked Chromium over the click-selects-all in the URL bar. In OS X, this was the only application that behaved that way (until Apple recently followed suit with Safa…

    I haven't found a free, native Mac CAD software that I like as much as Autodesk Inventor for Windows yet, but there are a number of free one available for the Mac. 123Design comes …

    I wouldn't know :) It must be a weird task to try to translate something as bizarre as names from one language to another. Harry isn't exactly a distinctive name. It's rather commo…

    This is amazing! Thank you! I always get so frustrated when I go to use Google Maps ever since the UI update. The floating drop-down search box infuriates me to no end.
