I got this 15 years ago. A great machine with great games.
I still enjoy playing on this from time to time. But recently it’s been my kids who use it the most. And I find that even more enjoyable. 🕹
I really enjoyed reading an Annotated Chapter of THE BAYERN AGENDA by Dan Moren.
His first book, The Caledonian Gambit, was an enjoyable sci-fi book. And so far his second book is a page turner as well.

Getting ready to see Bruce Dickinson: What Does This Button Do?
Seeing lots of men my age with Maiden t-shirt’s around.
Yesterday I decided to jump back into Splatoon 2. More specifically Splatoon2: Octo Expansion.
It’s such a fun, frustrating, likable part of the game.
Today it’s all multiplayer. 🎮

With the holiday approaching it’s time to revisit some games to try to complete them.
First up is Super Mario Odyssey. I’ve only collected about 700 moons, so some work left.
I’m also going to try to finish Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. Such a fun game.
🎮
I’m currently rewriting our front end development guidelines at work. As I’m working on the semantic HTML part, Bruce Lawson publishes The practical value of semantic HTML.
I should link up his post and call it a day. I love it. 😃
Eric Bailey on design:
If the past few years have taught us anything, it’s that the choices we make—or avoid making—have consequences. Design has been doing a lot of growing up as of late, including waking up to the idea that technology isn’t neutral.
I feel the need to dive deeper into Rust.
Getting ready for Anthrax! 🤘
Quiet before the show starts.
Torgallmenningen, Bergen.
Downtown Bergen.
24 Ways, the advent calendar for web geeks is back. Today they have a great overview of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1.
During a recent discussion at work I was reminded of The Fallacies of Distributed Computing by Harry Roberts.
If you build and structure applications such that they survive adverse conditions, then they will thrive in favourable ones.
I feel that it needs repeating every year.
Ten Years
Ten years ago today I became a dad. Nothing could have prepared me for all the work, laughter, tears and love that would be before me.
Today I’m the lucky father of three fantastic kids. But the feeling of holding Emma in my arms for the first time is fresh in my memory like it was yesterday.
Our UI library at work is built on @sveltejs.
During a presentation of the latest version someone asked to see an audit in Lighthouse.
My colleague had created a new page using our tools and ran the mobile fast 3g audit.
Results: 99, 100 and 100.
I ❤️ @sveltejs.
Long ago me and some friends started a tradition of watching The Nightmare Before Christmas the night before Christmas Eve.
Some twenty years later I’m now watching it every Halloween 🎃 with my kids instead. ❤️
Post Apple event feeling: I think I need that big iPad Pro in my life. But will have to see them for myself first.
I really like that Halloween is becoming more and more “a thing” in Norway! 🎃 👻
Accessible code?
Brad Frost comments on the accessibility team lead of WordPress resigning
I’m in charge of a11y at work. I always stress to other development teams that they need to test if their work is inclusive.
Some simple steps does it.
Before writing JavaScript for a component or a page, the markup needs to be valid semantic html.
Run tools like Axe. Does it pass?
Navigate using a keyboard.
Use the page using a screen reader.
This is a minimum a team should do before submitting the merge request.
Over time this has lead to better quality. But you need to constantly keep testing and focusing on it.
