Chrome 150 has landed support for focusgroup, a feature proposed by Open-UI and not yet in WHATWG HTML as anything more than a feature request. Open-UI has outsized representation from Google and Microsoft folks, so it’s no surprise...
We thought we'd finally fixed the root cause of one of the problems around the house that we mitigated a couple of weeks ago. Nope. Somehow the problem persists and we're back to the drawing board to decide what we want to do about it....
An interesting look at Atari’s assembly line screen printing process on arcade cabinets by The Arcade Blogger: When you see a Missile Command cabinet with bright blues, vivid reds and crisp graphics, you’re looking at the result of...
I haven’t been feeling much Fourth of July spirit this weekend for a lot of reasons, including Cape Town’s gray winter weather. So I decided to turn to 1926, when America celebrated its sesquicentennial, hoping to find a more festive...
