Dear browser makers, please fix LCH. The promise of LCH was that the L could be trusted: no matter what the hue is, the lightness would always be the same perceived lightness. In your current implementations this is completely broken. Itβs even worse than HSL

Today we started our yearly Exclusive Design course, one of my favourite courses. Our students will make tailor made prototypes for, and with, real people, not personas. One group of students will work with someone who is deaf. Theyβll be experimenting with expressive closed captions and podcast transcripts. Another group will work with a philosophy student with macular degeneration. He needs to be able to add annotations to his digital books, and to manage them, with a screen reader.
Dearest math nerds. I want to round, or floor, numbers to even numbers. So 1 becomes 0, 2 stays 2, 3 becomes 2, etc. How do I do that? And to make it even worse: In JavaScript.
Today my students start a four day hackathon. We made a database with women who had an impact on the web. Theyβre going to throw HTML and CSS to that database to make it impressive to use.
I suspect some of my students will ask βwhy women?β
Do you have any good articles we can use to inform them? And to start a discussion, if needed?
I made a clock. People who have traveled by train in the Netherlands might recognise it. And you might want to wait until the red second hand points up.

96 days ago I told you about the advent/recovery calendar I was making for my father. According to his doctor he needed 100 days to recover from an accident. He loves this calendar, he clicks on it every day.
It turns out he needs more days. His doctor said that these kinds of injuries can take half a year. So Iβm making a new calendar with a 10x8 grid. And I could use your help, again. If you have any fascinating, unexpected, artistic, historical, fantastic links, please send them to me.
Thereβs just one minute in the Pix Clock that doesnβt have a picture yet, and thatβs 17 minutes past 3, at night. All the other 1439 minutes have at least one photo of a clock.
