Feedburner
It’s almost like Feedburner was purchased and left to die on purpose. RSS feeds are a direct competitor to Big Search.
Downloads fixed
Finally fixed the inconsistent/broken downloads for .zip files. Just feels good.
shiflett.org
Love the latest design for Chris Shiflett’s shiflett.org. Very inspiring in its simplicity and clean visual aesthetic.
Building out
Gonna be posting a lot of content this year. I have tons of stuff that I want to share.
Disable JavaScript in Chrome
To disable JavaScript in Chrome, open inspector and type Cmd+Shift+P. Then type “java” at the prompt and select “Disable JavaScript”. To re-enable, close inspector.
UpdraftPlus
Been using UpdraftPlus for several years now. Solid, reliable plugin for making database backups.

Super useful tool for gathering frontend metrics: mydevice.io.
10 years on the same computer
This is the 10th year working on my first iMac. It’s still an incredible machine, but gonna need to upgrade maybe this year.
Nice minimal design
Another fine example of clean, focused minimalist design at michaelsoriano.com. Great content too.
Disable Chrome cache
To get Chrome to load latest scripts, styles, and images, open Dev Tools and check the box to Disable Cache (under Network tab). Works w/ Firefox too.
Don’t be lazy
Don’t be lazy. Learn how to search. Figure it out for yourself.

Recently completed Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Now playing through again on Master Mode, having a blast.
Code comments
If you need comments to explain your code, you are doing it wrong.
Life outside of Facebook
There is so much life and fresh air outside of Facebook. Really have been enjoying spending more time in other spaces.
Opening comments
Closed threads are no fun. So I’m opening up comments again on select posts. My tutorial on trapping bad bots for example.
