This blog is now using CSS Grid. Although I have been wanted to play around with grid on the web for a while, I have been holding out for browser support. Now it is the time to make the switch. I am still very new at CSS Grid, but already impressed with this simple yet powerful feature. I am looking forward to learn more.

Grid has been an essential tool for my graphic design for a while. Needless to say, I am one of those designers that live and die by the grid. Therefore, the support of grid on the web is very exciting to me. I am still trying to wrap my head around all the terminologies because the terms for CSS Grid aren’t the same as ones I have been accustomed to. For instance, gap is used instead of gutter. Other than than, I am so glad that browser makers are onboard with supporting grid.

Mad props to all the designers and developers who had made grid on the web happened. If you want to learn CSS Grid, check out this resource.

I also reworked my résumé using CSS Grid.

Sáng nay Xuân thức dậy trể còn hai anh lớn được nghỉ ở nhà. Đánh răng rửa mặt xong, tôi cho Xuân vào carseat nhưng Xuân không chịu nên chóng lại. Tôi đặt Xuân xuống đất. Mẹ bảo, “Xuân vô carseat đi con.” Xuân tự động bò vào ngồi xuống đợi tôi đeo seatbelt vào. Lời nói của mẹ quá hiệu nghiệm.

Đưa Xuân đến lớp vừa lúc các bạn đang ngồi trên ghế đợi ăn snack. Cô giáo bảo tôi cho Xuân vào ghế ngồi. Xuân ngoan ngoản vân lời. Khi tôi bước ra khỏi cửa Xuân chỉ nhìn theo mà không khóc như những lần trước.

14 tháng Xuân biết nhiều và chững chạc hơn. Mong rằng đến 24 tháng cũng thế. Qua hai lần kinh nghiệm tôi quá sợ terrible two và terrifying three. Thôi thì đến đâu lo đến đó.

Stand up, Đạo said and Xuân complied. Sit, Đạo said and Xuân complied again. Đán followed up, Roll over. My poor fourteen-month-old didn’t know what to do although he is as cute as a puppy.

My dentist is Vietnamese-American. I have been with him since I started working for George Mason, which is over five years. I visited his office every six months for cleaning and checkup. Except for the previous visit, which required a crown, he doesn’t try to create additional services like previous dentists I had.

Every time we met each other, he would greet me with a handshake and how are you. One time I tried to speak to him in Vietnamese, but he didn’t respond. So we spoke in English ever since.

In my recent visit, I wondered about his family. Does he have wife and kids? What if I were to give his children some candies? Then I realized that he wouldn’t appreciate that.

Daddy, can you tell us a sweet story? Đạo asked. Sure, I began, Once upon a time, there were two really really bad boys… He interrupted, You mean me and Đán? I did not say that. I replied. But you meant it. He said. How do you know? I pressed on. I can read your head. He responded. I have been with you for eight years. I know you daddy.
