After writing the Guide to Responsive-Friendly CSS Columns on CSS-Tricks, I was invited back to write up an Almanac post for each multi-column property.

Yesterday morning we work up early and drove out to North Adams to explore Cascade Falls once again.

At work today, I’m styling an app. The code is automatically generated, making me a CSS jockey. It can be challenging, but it makes me flex my CSS powers. This morning I found a great use case for :empty.

Yesterday we visited the Pine Hollow Arboretum in Slingerlands. We saw the sign for the arboretum during one of our drives out to Rensselaerville.

I’ve done Static Google Maps Image for Jekyll Posts, Mapbox for Jekyll Posts, but it’s time to settle down.

With CSS columns you can create a print-inspired layout with little added markup that can adapt beyond a fixed canvas. A supported browser will make calculations to wrap and balance content into tidy columns. If you’re already working with a fluid layout, the columns will flow automatically. With the right combination of properties, CSS columns can be an interesting layout option that is responsive-friendly while degrading gracefully.

This weekend we stayed with friends in Lewis. On Saturday we woke up early to catch the town-wide garage sales in Elizabethtown in the spirit of E-town Day. Our haul included: 1 over-sized sweater, 2 books, and 3 hats.

I love writing my pens in Haml, but I still have a hard time remembering the syntax. I created a post on my CodePen blog as a running reference guide of all the fun Haml snippets that I have used to date.

I spent the past week visiting my sister in Asheville. That place never gets old.
