I kinda wanna do an office hours thing where we only spend 5 minutes talking about work-related stuff, and then spend the rest of the time talking about literally anything else.

Right now, Frostapalooza's core band is traveling to Pittsburgh from Nashville and Charlottesville. We're spending the weekend diving into the setlist.

We're going to put on a hell of a benefit concert on August 17th. I'd love for you to come! frostapalooza.bradfrost.com

I think I need to get a new mesh wi-fi network. Any recommendations?

Under the table and begging.

The introduction of Figma Variables for typography is a very welcome addition. We've helped lots of teams with their token architecture and lack of typography tokens have been a big pain point. Hooray!

Web Awesome looks...awesome! Congrats to all involved! kickstarter.com/projects/fonta…

I'm throwing a big-ass, unique concert called Frostapalooza on August 17th. Come to Pittsburgh and party with us! frostapalooza.bradfrost.com

Structuring recipe libraries in Figma (and in code!) involves creating a layer cake of libraries:

Text from Mom:

What to-do tools are people using these days?

Buttons and icons: seemingly tiny simple things that can end up being enormously complex.

Miss this snoring bulldozer.
