I love HTML, CSS, and reasonable JavaScript. I’ve been writing them since 2003’ish and they’ve been paying my bills since 2005.

I’m a dad of three, husband of one, and business partner of two.

I’m from slightly-north-of-Boston, about 40-something years old, and a big fan of lunch.

The sandwich pictured above was the best sandwich ever created.

@irafcummings I'll be sad when Arc no longer gets Chromium updates, but I've got my eye on Flow ( flow-browser.com/comparison ) as a potential, eventual replacement.

@jayroh Man, it wouldn’t surprise me.

@garrettwinder Not gonna lie: I zoomed in, panned around, looked for friends. You got me.

@heymarkreeves ~~million~~ _billion_ dollar idea!

2025-06-27

This morning I was spreading butter on a bagel and came up with a million dollar idea: butter that comes in specific shapes.

Get yourself some bagel-shaped butter, cut a thin slice, and plop it on the bagel.

I'm lazy so I won't pursue this incredible idea, but if you do I want 25% of the profit.

One star

Somebody printed (what seems to be) a section of a page from amazon dot com for a particular product, then taped that page onto the actual product. On top of that, there's a "for sale" tag that has the original price, followed by a lower actual price. The funny thing is: the amazon dot com page that was printed clearly shows this product only has one star.

I was curious about what "MCP" means—in an AI context—and why it is relevant for designers. I did some digging, and put together a summary of my takeaways. Here's my quick take: iracummings.com/understanding-

I was laid-off and am looking for a new role.

Working where design meets code is my jam. I am skilled at building accessible design system components, working with Web Components APIs, and creating scalable CSS architecture.

I work remotely from my home in Manitoba, Canada. 🇨🇦

@heymarkreeves That might be kind of exciting.

Is there a system-wide setting I can change that stops anything from appearing when my mouse hovers over something UNLESS I press a modifier key?

Abso-flippin-lutely tired of moving my mouse somewhere only to have it trigger some sort of pop-up/overlay/whatever that at best distracts me or at worst stops me from reading something.

LOOKING AT YOU, SLACK and VS CODE (and probably many other apps).

We have a few potential projects in our pipeline that may require contracting a skilled front-end web developer (HTML/CSS/JS) who isn’t afraid to dip into server-side templates (JSP, PHP, etc.) to bring those experiences to life. Remote position, US candidates only.

Who should we be talking to? (Boosts welcome!)
