Very excited for these variable fonts tools coming to Firefox. (already in nightly) So useful! #aeaorl
Took today off and spent it with my 1yo, totally focused on her. We read a big stack of books, took a walk outside, played with toys, and ate every meal together. I love her so much. I love all of my children. Getting to know them is complete happiness.
Beautiful view of the stars tonight, from where I live.

When the css-tricks site goes down, we all realise how much we rely on it. Chris and his team write the best, most thorough and reliable, stuff. I go back to the almanac on selectors *constantly.* Also loving the beginners series to recommend to newbies.
Spiffy new homepage image! https://tbrown.org

Taught my two older girls to ride bikes, and today the road with no assistance. Perfect night to finish up my Father’s Day bourbon from 2017. 😄
One of my favorite teachers will be attending my talk! Haven’t seen him in years. Super cool. :)
Some days it’s extra hard to be patient.

Japan's MINERVA rovers landed on asteroid Ryugu. This rules. http://www.hayabusa2.jaxa.jp/en/topics/20180922e/

I owe my career to an endless parade of total strangers who took time out to teach me stuff and help me out, either indirectly or one on one in forums and chat rooms. I can't ever pay them back, so I do my best to pay it forward.
Everything seemed to go wrong today. But the day’s not over. 🙂
Been having FOMO about ignoring Twitter. 😞

Hello friends I know I mentioned this last week, but it’s time for a new challenge. I’m looking for a design and / or front-end dev role in a product team.

Great first day of office hours: choosing typefaces, variable fonts, design tools. It’s fun talking with smart people! Sign up here: https://calendly.com/typesetting/30min
Cannot make meatball parms for dinner without singing MEAT-BALL-HEROOOO to the tune of Jukebox Hero.
Got saaaauce in his eyes.
Stuck in my head. Five hours and counting.
Dang I miss Tweetbot.
Something I love about parenting is that many lessons aimed at the kids are also reminders for myself.
The kind folks at A Book Apart asked me a few questions: https://abookapart.com/blogs/press/get-to-know-tim-brown
