After a brief project-related trip to Hanover early next week, I will return to Berlin on Wednesday to experience @btconf on Thursday and Friday. Sadly, @marcthiele has announced that this will be the last #btconf in Berlin for the foreseeable future. I am really looking forward to it and can only advise you to grab one of the last tickets quickly. It will be worth it! 👉 https://beyondtellerrand.com/events/berlin-2025 #btconf

A short look ahead to my upcoming week of travel and events, where I’d be happy to meet some of you: This weekend, 1-2 November, marks the 9th #IndieWebCamp Berlin — once again at the @mozilla office, co-organised by @tantek.com and me. Participation is free, and we’ll spend the weekend hacking on our personal websites. I’m planning to explore ways to make websites more sustainable and will bring along some hardware for hands-on tinkering. Come and join us! 👉 https://indieweb.org/2025%2FBerlin

A recording of Alors on danse, news of a new exhibition of Michelangelo’s work, an event on creative writing, and information about art history courses all exist side-by-side in the ever-changing landscape that is my browser tabs. Every one is a train of thought: the tabs on ...

Eat This Newsletter 286: Cravings

Cruising the internet highway seeking nutritious alternatives to slop.

This week, unaffordable healthy diets, undesirable healthy diets, truck stops, forest gardens, and a not guilty verdict on gluten -- at least some of the time.

I’m glad Rabbit Quest was there to prompt me to get out of the house today, even if it was a very familiar urban circuit. I needed that. Interesting discrepancy in localisation. The image suggests I was between the tram tracks. I was not. I was on the side of the road looking at the marked spot.

Every so often, I open up a blank HTML document and work on a concept design for my website. Sometimes I have a theme, like my blueprint-inspired design, whereas other times I play around and see what I can make. Today I thought: what would my blog look like if it were pink? I came up with this concept design: A two-column layout for my website that has a light pink background colour and darker pink text. The typeface is a serif font. I use the "Transitional" font stack from Modern Font Stacks, and a combination of pink and purple colours that I made through trial-and-error with an RGB colour wheel. The background is light pink. The text colours are a darker pink that is somewhat close to red. I am unsure whether I will use this design on my blog, but I had fun playing around and exploring this direction for a bit.

The people who need a healthy diet most can’t afford one, while the people who can easily afford it don’t seem to want it.

Back to the Future meets Scream. This was quite silly, but also quite enjoyable. Just the right thing to chill on the couch and relax after a long day.

Also, oberflächlich eigentlich wieder ganz gute Unterhaltung. Aber das Thema selbst fand ich doch einfach eine sehr sehr seltsame Wahl für diese Filmreihe. Und die Klischees, die die Charaktere bedienen waren schon zum Augen rollen und "Echt jetzt!??" denken.

Rats! Almost home after a nice, relaxed ride with a friend when I heard a loud bang. Was't even sure it was me, but the rear tyre deflated instantly. Uh-oh. Turned out to be a hole the likes of which I have never seen before, Mended with a self-adhesive patch that held for the couple of km home. Pumped it up to pressure when I got home and will hope that it holds tomorrow. Looks like the tyre is pertty worn too.

Düsseldorf mix: concerts, beach, work, food, flea market, poker. (33 photos)

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about my photographs, why I take them, why and where I share them, and how to do that from now on. One trigger has been Instagram’s slow slide into irrelevance. I regularly miss photos from the people I follow, and vice versa, plus if I wan...

After reading James’ version of the challenge created by David from Forking Mad here we are! To quote Keenan, “I saw Robb James do it, so I wanted to, too. I’m very impressionable.” (Also, the...
