Just realized that when doing Wordle, I sound things out letter by letter, which doesn’t always match up to the English pronunciation of words. So today’s took me an extra step before it clicked.

Surprise and delight of the day: Learning that a cocktail website I’ve been referencing uses some Jekyll tools I open sourced a couple years ago and links to them in their repo.

TIL ch is a length unit in CSS. So if you want to limit something to roughly 50 characters and add an ellipsis at the end if there is overflow, you can do something like:
```
.className {
    max-width: 50ch;
    overflow: hidden;
    text-overflow: ellipsis;
    white-space: nowrap;
}
```

Notes on The Coaching Habit by Michael Bungay Stanier
- Kickstart, AWE and Focus
  - “What’s on your mind?”
  - “And what else?”
  - “What’s the real challenge here for you?”
- “What do you want?”
- Ask “what” questions instead of “why” questions.
- Avoid asking rhetorical questions

We were finger painting with Charlie the other day and my wife Amanda started playing around with the brushes and ended up with this. I love it! Such nice texture. She had no plan and it took about 5 minutes. It would take me a month to create something like this with a generative art script in Processing.
