Chris DeLuca

It always tickles me whenever I see someone smoking while riding a bike.

In addition to my blog turning 15 years old this month, I noticed that I’ve had my drupal.org profile for even longer. My connection with Drupal has only grown with time. 💧

Silence-d no More

There’s something about seeing a loose VHS on the ground that makes me want to take a shower.

A down shot of a concrete city sidewalk. A garbage can looks in the frame. There’s trash all around it. A grimy VHS lays there amidst the garbage, back up.

I started playing Castlevania: Symphony of the Night again, and I’m getting my ass kicked. I don’t remember losing this much this quickly my first time around, but that was years ago, so maybe I’ve forgotten it all. 🕹️

Today is my 38th birthday. Feeling a lot of gratitude.

TIL about the CSS cap unit, which is equal to the current font’s capital letter height.

A group of six friends is posing playfully on a crowded beach under a sunny sky. The group includes three men and three women. Each person has a temporary tattoo of Chris' face. One woman on the far left is wearing a floral shirt and shorts, enthusiastically pointing to her left arm. Her left arm has Chris' face near the elblow joint. Next to her is a woman in a black swimsuit and sunhat, posing with her hand on her hip. She has Chris' face on her bicep. In the middle, a man has towel draped over his head. This is Chris. The towel has his face on it. Standing next to him is a woman in a gray bikini with her back to the camera, playfully looking over her shoulder. Chris' face is on her lower back. A man in sunglasses and a baseball cap stands behind them, flexing his arm. On the far right, a shirtless man in beige shorts smiles while holding a drink can. The beach is bustling with people, colorful umbrellas, and towels.

I celebrated my birthday at the beach this year. My friends surprised me with matching temporary tattoos of my face, along with a towel also of my face. Silly, dumb fun. 🎂

A black cat loafing on a chair, eyes half open. The color palette is cool with pops of purple and dark red.

It took me a while to figure out why LSP was reporting describe was not a valid method of string.

const id = label.toLowerCase().replaceAll(' ', '-').
describe('DisabledField', () => {

There’s always room for gummy worms.

I put my homemade aftershave in little potion bottles so I can feel like a shave wizard.

Two round glass bottles with corks containing a dark brown liquid.

New keyboard new life. Having Touch ID when docked is a game changer.
