Cache checker
Great tool for checking browser caching for web pages and all included files.
Books subdomain
Now working on the books subdomain for Perishable Press.
14 Kilobytes
The new minimalist design styled by 14KB of CSS (uncompressed and un-minified). That covers 850+ posts and pages spanning 15 years of diverse content.
Placeholder support
Amazing (and sad) to think that, in the year 2020, Internet Explorer still doesn’t support the placeholder attribute, which is supported by all other major browsers.
Winter redesign
Finishing up with the latest redesign for Perishable Press! Should be live this week or early next.
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.
Frontend metrics tool
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.

The Office is Cheers with more irony.
More fine-grained control of macOS screen brightness: hold down Option + Shift before pressing either of the brightness keys. You get 64 increments instead of the usual 16.
