Another random conversation led to this experiment . . . it’s animated CSS which is pretty cool but I can’t take any credit for it. I found this example on Codepen and then mainly gutted it to make what you see below (also a minor experiment with flexbox). See the Pen CSS Animated Beer Pour […]
Suppose you had to build a web page pretty quickly (an hour or so) and suppose you had to have it mostly match the theme from some other site you had nothing to do with. You’ll want it to be responsive etc. You’ll do the whole University-brand identity thing. Suppose you’re a pretend web developer. […]

We recently assigned a few custom domains to rampages. That ended up causing two complications. The first was that some people were using https associated URLs previously (news to me). The always impressive Tim Owens (reclaim hosting support cannot be complimented enough) took care of that for me. https://twitter.com/timmmmyboy/status/743285542440341504 The second was the need to […]
