January 2025

Hello, 2025! (As always, Death Cab remains the soundtrack by which you should read this.)

Headlining this month was my annual review; everything else is flotsam.

But, speaking of flotsam:

• A quick development note on the order attribute in CSS
• Notes on Linear and Fathom
• Why Buttondown has an 'alternatives' page
• Some thoughts on a nascent new newsletter project
• Letters to a young bartender
• A warning about hidden settings
• Only two pieces of media that I finished: Case Histories (meh) and Luck be a Landlord (much better)

I have much to write; the backlog is longer than ever before, both literally and figuratively. Our water is out; our daughter is happy; we are keeping sane, and warm, and busy, and we are sleeping lightly but well.
