Hey Rotterdam! Next week, March 4th, @fronteers teams up with Level Level to host a meetup. There will be talks about accessibility barriers in e-commerce & how embracing the web platform's native strengths is key to a solid design system. And there's still plenty of seats left! 👇
I originally planned to post regular updates about my Linux experiment. I should not make such promises. But I can report, that I am quite happy with Ubuntu and the ThinkPad so far. I have been using it exclusively to do all of my work for the last couple of weeks. I think, I even might like the keyboard better, than the MacBook’s. The webcam is pretty shit, though. Anything photography-related still requires me to use the Mac, and as I mentioned before, this is not going to change any time soon. But all considered, it is nice to know that relying on 100% free and open source software (and a comparatively cheap laptop) will allow me to do my job just fine.
I am one email away of sending anything mentioning „LinkedIn“ straight to the spam folder.
In my quest to watch every Jim Jarmusch movie at least once, I finally got to see this one. And this didn't disappoint either. The whole premise of a Don Juan type character, named Don Johnston - played by Bill Murray - on an adventure to find of which of is ex-girlfriends send him a mysterious letter, telling him about a now 19-year old son he didn't know about. His neighbour - who, with a wife, 5 kids, and 3 jobs, is the exact opposite of the Don - excitingly planned the whole trip for him and gives him advise throughout the quest. All those characters and situations are hilarious. And it was fun to notice all those parallels to Jarmusch's other movies - particularly Ghost Dog.
A rape revenge story set in 70s/80s NY. Sounded good, looked great, interesting characters and plot. Good one!
A classic I’ve not seen before. I wouldn’t say one has to know this, but it definitely doesn’t hurt. And I was very much enjoying myself, especially with those "Mondo Bizzarr"-audience at the cinema. The plot is more like a series of scetches and the dialogue is rather peculiar at times, but honestly, everything is so silly and over the top, it’s funny again. And all the sets and props are lovingly done. “Sieg der Liebe!”
I recently asked around for links to 365 photography projects and I got some feedback. (🙏 Thanks for that!)
I collected them on this page: https://florianziegler.com/365-projects
I am still looking for more projects. Please share if know any!
Just realized, since I have all the colors in CSS custom properties it is pretty easy to create new color schemes for the blog: How about hot pink, purple or jungle? (Reset to b/w with the theme switcher controls at the bottom. 👇)
Yiğit has written a lovely post about how I inspired him to start his photo blog! 🥹 We met at WordCamp Europe in Turin last year, although very briefly at a bus stop on our way home. Check out his blog, where he’s currently doing a 365 project. Oh, and he also has a stats page!
Thinking about removing the social media integration from my photo blog. 🤔 Not sure it adds anything meaningful to be honest. Don’t get me wrong: I currently enjoy using Mastodon and the interactions there, but I enjoy direct conversations (mostly via email) with people that I follow or people that follow me (mostly via RSS) much more!
Ok, I took one digital photo at our Landschaftspark outing.
