  • I’m Committing to Better Standards for Underpin

    I want to make Underpin something that I can share with others better, and something that others feel comfortable with using. And that starts with taking ownership of the code, stabilizing it, and documenting it.

  • Even with how windy it is outside, the camper is not rocking at all. Slide supports and a tripod are seriously game changers.

  • My wife spent like 3 hours on the beach with Bennett today, looking for seashells. As I approached her, she came running up to me looking like what you see in the photo ????. She was so dang excited to find a fully intact conch shell in the water, and got soaked going in after…

  • I just now discovered that Codepen closed down their blog post functionality. I had some content written on that platform, so I guess it’s time to migrate it to my core site. One such article is a fun breakdown I wrote back in 2016 on how I built an SNES controller using CSS+HTML. https://alexstandiford.com/articles/essays/a-breakdown-of-the-snes-controller-built-with-css-html

  • Let’s Go Back To Commenting on Blogs

    I think we should comment on blog posts first, and only reply on social media if there isn’t a better option. I invite you to do the same!

  • I think my favorite thing about OBX is that it’s all one road lol. Directions are super easy, and I’m directionally challenged ????

  • We have made it to the outer banks, where for the next two weeks we will call home. The campsite takes up about 2/3rds of the total width of the island where we’re parked(!) There’s so, so much history in this region of the US, and I’m so excited to dig in!
