I noticed that I was getting a lot of traffic to my recent post on reacquainting myself with Craft. Based on the source of the traffic, I deduced that the post must have been featured in an email newsletter. I was thinking it might be the Craft CMS newsletter–because I had mentioned them on Bluesky when I publicized the reacquainting post. But I had not received the newsletter in my inbox so I could not confirm.

I was checking my email while waiting for the Interstellar at an IMAX theater and saw the newsletter in my inbox. I confirmed that the Craft CMS newsletter was the source of the increase in traffic for that article.

My daughter is a big Laufey fan. She was able to see her in concert in Nashville in April. My daughter has made me into a fan. Today, my wife, daughter, and I went to see Laufey’s A Night at the Symphony: Hollywood Bowl at the movie theater. It was filmed earlier this year and included commentary by Laufey at different parts of the film. We all enjoyed hearing her perform along with the LA Philharmonic.

I like that the latest Smashing Magazine newsletter greeted me in Hungarian. Jó estét translates to “good evening.” They do a random greeting in each newsletter. I think it is the first time I have seen Hungarian.

My son and I watched a Chattanooga Mocs men’s basketball game this afternoon. It was his idea and it was fun to hang out with him on his first full day home for Thanksgiving break.

The sky had a pink and then purple tint as the sun was going down on this rainy overcast day. According to one source that I saw: “the colors are the result of the angle of the sunlight, and how it passes through raindrops and particulates, which scatter the light.”

I just implemented a new component that will display a Baseline support widget. I updated my post on container queries that I wrote two years ago.

Thanks to Chris Coyier for the write-up about this new component on the FrontEndMasters Boost.

I saw that the Twin Drive-In off of 291 Highway is closing for good. I didn’t realize that it was still open.

I remember spending many summer nights at this drive-in. I have memories as a kid going with my family. And later, I went with my best friend in high school. Two movies that I remember seeing with him are Rocky IV and Karate Kid.

I remember the animated commercials for the snack bar when I was younger. And I remember enjoying visiting the snack bar to buy popcorn or candy. I believe they also had a playground next to the snack bar.

I came across this photo of a LEGO sculpture on Facebook. It is a reproduction of one of the four lions that flank the entrances to Lanchíd (Chain Bridge) in Budapest. I had captured one of the lions in a photo on my trip to Budapest in April.

This LEGO sculpture was well done. It looks like it is a 1:1 scale with the real thing. I loved playing with LEGO as a kid and still enjoy them. It was fun to see that someone had built a model of these iconic lions.

My son, daughter, and I saw The Two Towers yesterday in the theater. Fathom Events was showing all three of the Lord of the Rings movies on consecutive days last weekend and this one. It only worked out for us to see The Two Towers because of our schedules.

It would have been fun to see all three movies in the theater. I am glad that we decided to see at least one of them. I got chills when the movie started and enjoyed seeing it in the theater again and getting engrossed in the story. These movies are best seen in this setting. My youngest daughter is seeing the movies for the first time. We watched The Fellowship of the Ring last week and will plan to watch Return of the King soon.

I liked this thought from Cameron Moll that he shared on LinkedIn.

“Most of life’s important decisions are simply trading one set of problems for a new set of problems.

“Once you understand this, you’re equipped to take a more informed approach to your decision-making.

“Your goal should be a new set of problems whose net result is somehow better than the previous set of problems.

“However, it’s important to keep in mind that while the grass might truly be greener on the other side, it’s still grass. It might require more watering than the previous grass to keep it green. Or perhaps it’s Bermudagrass instead of Kentucky Bluegrass which requires a different maintenance routine.

“So, the next time you’re faced with an important decision, try reminding yourself that the end goal isn’t to eliminate *all* the problems with your current situation.

“The end goal is to get to a better set of problems.”
