Walking in a Winter Wonderland
Update 12/14/2023: This was from an Blogger post and sadly all the photos are no longer available.
I took a little trip to the Washingtonian Center with a friend of mine who was feeling kind of down. What better way to cheer up than a cup of hot chocolate from starbucks and christmas lights? Unfortunately I was only armed with my cell phone camera so I had to make due.
We took pictures with this really creepy bear that was kind of just sitting around on the bench. :)
It was nice to get out of the house. I have been spending a lot of time inside with the school work and such so I had a great time. It was pretty cold but the hot coco kept me warm. The best part was I went to Barnes and Nobel to pick up a few books and did not wait in an hour long line. Earlier in the day I went to Borders in Silver Spring and it was a disaster, so many people were there that I almost had a panic attack. I just put down all the books that I had in my hand and left because I was not willing to stand in that long line for a few books.

Storing times for human events
I've worked on various event websites in the past, and one of the unintuitively difficult problems that inevitably comes up is the best way to store the time that an event is happening. Based on that past experience, here's my current recommendati…

There’s a post on htmx.org about why htmx wasn’t the right fit for a particular project (which is dope, we need more websites that admit their thing might not be the right thing all the time). The bit on AI being unfamiliar with their tool choice piqued my…

ULTRA PROUD DAD MOMENT: Ella made her first website! Melissa and I woke up on Saturday morning to our goofy 6-year-old daughter entering our bedroom making this obnoxious sound. It was impressively annoying, especially considering she hasn’t seen Dumb and…
