Like Cast Away in the snow. I would have like a little more reasoning regarding why he was in the situation in the first place. But I enjoyed Mads Mikkelsen and some great winter landscapes.
Snow in 2026
For some it might be nothing special, but over here it rarely snows and I embrace this right now.
Everything is so silent. The crunching snow under my feet. Our dog enjoys a good play with a snowball or playing catch me if you can.
Happy moments. Reply via Email

Publishing my citation preferences
I was recently asked by a fellow blogger how I would prefer to be credited in a blog post they were working on. This brought to mind an idea I have been thinking about for a while: how could I indicate the way I would prefer a post on my website to be cited? By having this in...

📖 Between Meals ✍
The temptation, of course, is to review the book as one might a restaurant or a meal, to talk about savouring each witty gem while regretting that the meal must end, profess to being full without having overindulged, knowingly wink at past kitchen practices that today would ...

Designing an A-Z navigation web component
Artemis, the calm web reader I maintain, has an Authors page that lists all of the websites to which you are subscribed. The list is presented in alphabetical order, with a heading for each letter in the alphabet to aid in navigation. There is a search feature, too.
