#accessibility Club Summit 2024 in Amsterdam kicking off with a vegan dinner and some fine folks knowing each other mostly from the internet.
#a11yclub #a11y #community #event

Tech checked, everything packed -— and I'm on my way to #Amsterdam for the @a11yclub Summit this weekend. I'm really looking forward to meeting almost 150 #accessibility enthusiasts from at least 15 countries and celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Accessibility Club with them. #CSSDay folks, stay in town and join us on Saturday! We still have capacity at our BarCamp (and there's also a live stream if you can't be there in person): https://accessibility.club/event/accessibility-club-summit-2024

What!? A new journal entry!

Starting the new year in and around Düsseldorf.

Spending some days in London at “Craft and Work”, an event by my friend Keir Whitaker. Reply via Email

A quick, and hopefully final, update on what changed with the DIY handheld game console.

Yesterday I proposed the idea of a “minimum interesting service worker” that could provide a link (or links) to archives or mirrors when your site was unavailable as one possible solution to the desire to make personal #indieweb sites more reliable by providing at least a use...

Ran my 12th #BayToBreakers race in 1:59:54 on Sunday 2024-05-19. After a comedy of transit struggles to get to the start line, I jumped in with Corral C runners (my bib was for Corral B) and started with them.Great seeing the Midnight Runners crab rave cheer gang in Hayes Val...

There ist my friend Keir Whitaker, who joined the beyond tellerrand boat roughly a year ago. The reason for this post: This time he is not helping me with my stuff, no, he is organising an event also. An event that is targeting people who want to know more about building better digital, and creative businesses and who are focusing on better e-commerce for example.

So, if you are a founder or entrepreneur, or someone running their business as a singe person, this event is for you. I myself am going to be there as well and am extremely looking forward to it! And as I heard, there are a very few tickets left. So better be quick to not miss out.

Running events like beyond tellerrand is wonderful and even more that I can call something like this “my job”. But it’s also exhausting. You might think, once the festival is over I can relax, but usually there is a lot of work post-event to be done. Easily two more weeks full of stuff to say thanks, pay the bills and collect material and coverage etc. And yes, there is Berlin also, where I need to focus on to make it as good as the last one in Düsseldorf.

Therefore it is the best to have my lovely wife Tanja to remind me to actually take a break and just calm down, doing nothing but spending time in the sun, trying to process what has been experienced. We had a fantastic weekend and relaxed at the Dutch sea. Thank you Tanja! ❤️

The mandatory one for @webrocker 👋😥

Had a lovely breakfast prepared by my children for father’s day today. Sitting in my studio now, sun is shining outside, am listening to Jane’s Addiction and writing welcome letters for the speakers of the sold out beyond tellerrand festival in Düsseldorf 2024.

Am happy.

It‘s been a while; and I mostly seem to remember scenes from Aliens (Part 2 of the frnachise). But this was a great rewatch. I thought this aged extremely well. The menacing atmosphere, the sets, the sounds, the story. A classic for a reason!

On May 13th and 14th, I organise my annual stop of beyond tellerrand in Düsseldorf. If you are from Düsseldorf or arrive in Düsseldorf before you maybe want to attend “Literatur & Livemusik 2024” by my friend Lars Terlinden, taking place from May 9th to 12th. It offer a book market with more than 12.000 books, concerts and much more. Next to this you can attend a reading of Marcus Bensmann who reads parts of [“Der AfD-Komplex”](https://shop.correctiv.org/Der-AfD-Komplex/SW10118 ?ref=marcthiele). All readings and concerts are free to attend, but surely a donation is more than welcome! Any profit made is going into charity projects. Find all details here. Reply via Email

Der beste Satz, den ich heute gelesen habe:

„Es ist jedoch mathematisch unmöglich, dass die meisten Menschen bei einer bestimmten Aufgabe besser als der Durchschnitt sind.“

Ich lache immer noch Tränen! Danke, @Krautreporter

Dirk Hesse collects photos of creatives – and who isn’t creative – for his website “Le Bureau”. Mine was recently published and I wanted to point you to this lovely little project of Dirk.

He also invites to a short interview, for those of you who speak German. I like projects like this and it reminds me of those, where people show they favourite menu bar helpers, tools or what’s in their bag.

Thanks, dear Dirk, for having me at Le Bureau!

A generated film that never is played in the same way, you ask? For whom could this work out and isn't that too chaotic to watch? Well, if your subject is Brian Eno and his life, it is absolutely fitting. Panel with Eno and the people behind the film At least the version I ...

It's a very beautiful film about stuff I didn't care about. I should have watched this in a cinema.

Last week I had the honour of being the guest of Silke in her live streamed radio show Radio Roggermann. It was great fun and you can listen back to it here (including the music). Show is in German, though.

Despite some personal problems within the family during my trip to Brighton, which made me worry, I had a wonderful time at this year’s Patterns Day. It was the third time this event took place and once more it was great to meet old friends and make new friends during the day. Took me a while, also because it is only 8 weeks until beyond tellerrand Düsseldorf, but here are a few impressions of how it was … Reply via Email
