Chaos In Phoenix#tiktok.com

Yikes this sounds very chaotic. It's always kind of hard to tell what crowds are like at golf tournaments but it's nuts if they were just letting people in for free.

Juno#christianselig.com

At its core, Juno uses the YouTube website itself. No, not scraped. It presents the website as you would load it, but similar to how browser extensions work, it tweaks the theming of the site through CSS and JavaScript.

He would of made some good money from this and it's seemingly a fairly simple concept.

Hammerbarn

This is a cool promotion Bunnings are running right now.

I think they're only doing it at 1 Bunnings in each state and it just so happened that this was our local.

Wrestlemania Main Event#tiktok.com

This was awesome.

Writing Typescript For Frontend Interactivity

For my /garden page I have a tiny bit of JavaScript that's used to make the tooltips appear.

This is fine for this page and works but the problem becomes when you need more complexity.

When there's more complexity and dependencies being used you need to use TypeScript to get the job done.

In this case what I can do is:

  1. Write the non interactive server rendered HTML
  2. Create a new vite project
bunx create-vite my-js-ts-app --template vanilla-ts
  1. Copy the HTML into the index.html
  2. Add all the dependencies and make the app do what it needs to do using the main.ts
  3. Build the app
npm run build
  1. Copy the .js output from the dist
  2. Add this to my server rendered app with a defer tag so it loads after the HTML

Sports In Vegas

Las Vegas has so much sport this week.

  1. Superbowl
  2. LIV Golf
  3. Phoenix Open, whilst it's not directly in Vegas it's 300 miles away so fans could see a day of golf then go to the Superbowl easily

Finish The Story#youtube.com

What an awesome promo. Drew McIntyre is doing some awesome work right now.

Fans have responded very negatively to The Rocks return.

Justin Bae#youtube.com

Been really enjoying Justins content lately. The streams have been excellent. Also like his taste in games.

Coding In Vision Pro#youtube.com

Credit to Theo for buying a Vision Pro and doing this demo.

The gist of all the reviews is that its close to be amazing but you should still just use a monitor; at least for this use case.

A Link To The Past

Been playing The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past this week.

It still holds up so well.

I've been using the Zelda Dungeon guide to get through the game (like usual for me and Zelda games) as the game is really tricky. Some of the places where you find items are so random.

The visuals are beautiful and the music is iconic.
