##Articles

An Introduction To Object Oriented CSS (OOCSS)
Great intro from Smashing Magazine on the topic of OOCSS. On the topic of a multi-class approach to declaring styles:

Some may feel that this type of styles abstraction clutters the HTML and goes against the principle of separating markup from presentation.

But putting aside any debates about how this might affect the markup, no one can question that this abstraction has now made it easier to track down and modify the common styles that are used to structure these three elements.

About HTML Semantics and Front-End Architecture
by Nicolas Gallagher. I love this article so much -- it says it all (IMO) perectly. Amongst other things, great talk about semantics as well as why he prefers a multi-class approach vs. that of @extend.

Yours:

    0 = none
    xs = extra small
    s = small
    m = medium
    l = large
    x = extra
    xl = extra large
    xxl = extra extra large

A terrific song. What I'm most interested in capturing are not only the chords, but a way to continually strum them so that the melody can be heard. Here's how I play each section.

Audio sample of me playing

Here's a clip of me playing this on ukulele, using the exact tabs I have below: https://soundcloud.com/davidpots/ukulele-practice-wake-up-by-arcade-fire

    {% endif %}

// On a page with many .item elements, where each element has many tags .item__tag
// This will create an array 'tagList' that contains all tags (without duplicates)

    var tagList = [];
    $.each( $('.item__tag'), function(i,obj) { 
      nextTag = obj.innerText;
      if ($.inArray(nextTag,tagList) == -1) {
        tagList.push( nextTag );
      }
    } );

Here's a holy shit idea I have. Sort of.

(a) Imagine apple watch exists and is iterated on and is widely used etc.

(b) imagine apple watch has the ability to accept morse-code-like tap patterns from users without requiring them to unlock the screen first. So basically, I could do what Lando Calrissian did when he slyly sent a message to this bald friend to arrange a stormtrooper ambush.

(c) Okay, imagine apple watch is cognizant that I'm listening to podcasts, and what episode I'm listening to, and the current timestamp.

(d) imagine if I tap a certain pattern while a podcast is playing (e.g., triple-tap to denote this pattern is for the Podcast app, and then long-short-short taps to denote _this means drop a flag / timestamp / star / bookmark at current timestamp of current episode.
