Seconding all this great podcast-starting advice! (It’s a whole thread.)

Also, I kinda miss having a podcast…

There are loads of ways to start a podcast, so this is _not prescriptive_. But I figured I'd write out how I've done it in case it's useful.

Successfully made homemade seitan last night! Just waiting for my vegetarian gold star in the mail now. 😜

I like that this article includes some practical advice for navigating ethics in the design process. Recognizing when you’re facing an ethical issue can be the hardest part.

This is a great listen on how social media came to be and how the early days shaped what social media is today: https://overcast.fm/+PIlz51vvQ

Do you have complicated logic for tooltip positioning in your app? Willing to share screenshots of gnarly cases? Some chrome engineers are looking for worst case scenarios. ;)

Design is making intentional choices.
Creativity is finding novel connections among familiar ideas.

You don't get either unless you are continuously learning and observing the world around you.

If you’re wondering which other Grid properties are animatable and the status in Chrome:

RT @rachelandrew@twitter.com
In @FirefoxNightly you can test animation of grid tracks. This pen is a super quick demo plus a link to the @ChromiumDev issue for the feature https://codepen.io/rachelandrew/details/BvMMmZ #css #cssgrid
https://twitter.com/rachelandrew/status/1085109966690807808

This example of animating grid-template-columns and grid-template-rows totally wins though:

Just knocked out a little CSS Grid animation experiment using a 2 x 2 grid as a coordinate system (viewable in @FirefoxNightly). https://codepen.io/aharvard/details/roPvmG Thanks for the heads up about the new feature, @jensimmons!

Playing around with animating grid-template-columns and grid-template-rows in Firefox Nightly. These are definitely the most fun grid properties to animate! 👍

RT @jensimmons@twitter.com
We just added support for animating CSS Grid to @FirefoxNightly. You can use CSS animations to change the track lists on `grid-template-columns` and `grid-template-rows`.

Try it out, and send me a link to your demo! (Use Firefox Nightly as of today…
