A chronological view of *everything* I've posted here, since the beginning of time (or the blog's inception, whichever comes first).
This website is so cool! It’s the kind of thing that you’d imagine was a personal website, but it’s actually a marketing page! A marketing team actually sat down and planned this out! I thought no such thing as fun marketing existed. Glad to be proven wrong.
CSS is my favorite language and 2025 was amazing for it! The Chrome team built this page highlighting all the new exciting stuff that happened to CSS this year. I’ve used some of it but sadly still have to wait for other browsers to catch up before doing it on any serious work 😭
I recommend opening this in a Chromium-based browser so you can try it out firsthand, but there are video recordings of the features in case you’re unable to.
Neat little daily browser puzzle game where you use clues to find out who’s a criminal and who’s innocent.
The greatest in-camera effect of all time (video)
Ok, this video is amazing. Corridor Crew recreates the amazing practical effects from the first Lord of the Rings movie (the forced perspective ones with Gandalf and the hobbits), but not only that, there’s amazing storytelling on how it was made, all the cinema history before it, and why it has never been done again since then.
Great post about how clients hire experts to solve a problem, then completely ignore their expertise and try to copy what the big ones do. But they’re not big.
The “f*** off contact page” concept is amazing, too. It’s 100% real and out there, with more and more companies doing it (either intentionally or by just wanting to copy what others do).
Also, Nic Chan’s website is a treasure. It’s already been featured as a cool link here before but I wanted to point it out again. So cool!
Home Alone 2 - Lost in New York

It’s still a fun movie, but it’s basically the same thing as the first one but with worse pacing and felt a bit too forced.

Pretty fun watch all around. I would have loved this movie as a child, but somehow never got to watch it.
Varenna
One of the many incredible places surrounding Lake Como, in northern Italy.
Flow from the Grotte
Always wanted to take a long exposure shot like this, with the water all smooth and fluffy. Taken just downstream of the Grotte delle Busserailles near Cervinia, in Italy.

The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring (Extended Edition)
Reviewed on Nov 29, 2025
Can’t believe I’d never watched the extended editions before. This movie is just timeless, a perfect introduction to a wonderful world, amazing pacing, acting, environments and practical effects.
It’s almost 4 hours long but I wanted to start the next one immediately after it finished.
Brand New Layouts with CSS Subgrid
This is the first article that made me actually understand the use cases for CSS subgrid. I’m still not fully convinced I’m gonna use them often, but it’s nice to understand what problems they solve.
