There are so many courses with substantial Black Friday sales, so now is your chance to get your hands on them, support the creators, and upskill.
Stock up now while they're all so heavily discounted, and you'll have great content to sink your teeth into year-long.

📺 Added a video section to my site! (jclahoot.com)
I just published something new for the first time in a while (a vlog about a failed DIY project), and figured I'd give it a little screening area.🍿

I think `animation-composition: accumulate` is gonna see more action with `random()`, as it's like "take what you already got as a value and augment it rather than replace it".
Here's a parallax thing where randomly-fixed-positioned stars are moved different amounts (with a scroll-driven animation)

The nested and interconnected nature of Wikipedia would feel so cool with these transitions!
View transitions are pretty neat, and I was fortunate enough to write a piece for @piccalil.li about putting them to work.
They're such an exciting new part of the web platform, and I'm elated to see new and boundary-pushing effects making their way into production.

I don't think I ever explained why I picked JCLaHoot as an internet name.
Basically, it's my name, and my favourite round Pokemon. 🦉

One problem with making a giant cat-shaped 3D mountain is that you need vantage points from which it can be admired.
This is also true of interior design. You want your rooms to be cute, but the view from other rooms should be cute as well! 💖

The falling bug came back, final boss second phase style! 🥲
I guess I'll "do the wrong thing" and set up a falling timer 🙈 (until I get enough dev XP points to level up and beat this final boss of a bug 🐉💥🗡)
In the interim, I've started modelling the cat mountain! 🏔️

PET DRAMA: I'm watching my sister's cat, Millie, and my cat, Capitaine, has taken it upon himself to protect her from "danger". This has manifested as chasing the neighbour's cat and swatting their 15 year old tiny dog for barking.
Now the neighbour's cat is mad at ME and hisses when I get close.😩
