So last night I was enjoying a nice bottle of wine after dinner with friends and was hanging around Twitter talking music with folks. We got to the topic of Butthole Surfers, a band I adore. Specifically, the line “Invisibility is a relative thing . . .” from the song “Shame of Life” stood out as an obvious CSS joke, which I tweeted:
“invisibility is a relative thing” – Butthole Surfers. #thing{visibility: hidden; position: relative;} – CSS Working Group
Matthew Budd (@matthewbudd) responded, and in our subsequent chat he proposed the idea of a Front End Dev playlist. I love the idea, so I’m asking for your input. Here’s the way it works:
- Pick a band, or song from a band, that you like to listen to when you’re working on Front End Web Dev tasks
- Compose the band name, song name, or a phrase from a song in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, SVG – any Front End Web technologies (preferably open ones)
- Submit your entry to the comment thread on this post
- Win community love for your contributions and creativity
Most importantly, let’s have fun and create a really kick-ass playlist, which I will then use at conferences and workshops, and even use as content or code examples in slides – all properly cited and to be considered share-alike under CC licensing.
Ready? Set? GO!
