On leaving out the alt Attribute

As it seems I'm currently looking at my Twitter timeline way too often. Because this time it was a tweet from Šime Vidas that caught my attention: Do I need alt text if there’s a visible image description?<figure> <img src="x.jpg" width="900" height="600" alt="">...

📄 Updated pedalboard

I bought more pedals. And so I needed a bigger board, to be able to fit them all. Here’s what it looks like now:

🎬 Suspiria (2018)

Movie poster for “Suspiria (2018)”.

Although this is not a remake, I think I enjoyed the “original” more.

This rendition certainly had a much better production and much better acting. And it wasn’t bad at all. And I very much enjoyed the Berlin set. But I found the side-plots somewhat irrelevant and the main story confusing. Or maybe it was just too late in the day, yesterday night.

So, it was a good movie, but I wasn’t 100% convinced.

🎧 Esoteric Malacology – Slugdge

Does this bring anything new to the table? I don’t think so. But it’s very well done. It has some fantastic guitar work, blast beats, and great vocals. Winner!

🎬 Druk (Another Round)

Movie poster for “Druk (Another Round)”.

Four school teachers wanted to try a philosopher’s theory that humans generally have 0.05% too little blood alcohol. So they started drinking.

This is funny, has drama, and wonderful acting. Highly recommended!

Fixing Smooth Scrolling & Page Search (updated!)

Yesterday, as I was browsing my Twitter timeline, a tweet from Chris Coyier popped up, in which he mentioned feedback he got for one of his CSS Tricks experiments. It went as follows: Anecdotal thing: when I had this on @CSS, I had SO MANY reports of people annoyed that whe...

Doomsday

Hip-hop has lost one of its finest artists to ever touch the mic and an MPC. Daniel Dumile, better known by his stage name MF DOOM, passed away on October 31, 2020, at the age of 49. Dumile, who performed in a metal face mask, was a child of the Golden Era and a master of hi...

Oh FFS! Instagram now requires you to have an account to view anything on their website. You can no longer visit profiles of people or businesses let alone permalink pages.

I hope Instagram will revert this. Or everybody will just stop posting exclusively on that stupid platform (yeah, right!)!

Frustrating nonsense!

🎬 A Rainy Day in New York

Movie poster for “A Rainy Day in New York”.

Nicole “warned” me that critics didn’t like this movie much.

I disagree. I found this to be a clever, funny and overall very entertaining story.

Bye, 2020!

So, that was 2020. First of all, I hope that you and your loved-ones are well, that you had something to do this year that brought you fulfillment and a sense of purpose, and that you haven’t been affected too heavily by COVID-19 and the lockdowns that were both financially ...

🎧 I – Conjurer

Currently listening to this EP quite a bit. Some great tremolo-picking melodies. And a great vocalist duo. Much heavy! Much good!

🎬 Suspiria

Movie poster for “Suspiria”.

Another classic. For good reason.

Amazing set. Great atmosphere. Well done – and indeed gory – murder scenes. The end scene was great. Very much enjoyed the soundtrack. On the other hand, acting and dialogs were lacking. But that’s alright. I would recommend this, if one is into horror movies and hasn’t seen this, yet.

🎧 Solace – Jakob

Instrumental post rock from New Zealand. Very atmospheric. Great to work to (as a lot of instrumental albums). My current favourite from that album is “Everything All of the Time” – that drum beat is exactly my kind of groove.

🎬 On The Rocks

Movie poster for “On The Rocks”.

Good dialogs and good acting. But unsurprising and very conventional. Was ok.

🎬 Better Watch Out

Movie poster for “Better Watch Out”.

Had its moments and good ideas. But ultimately I found this unconvincing and excessively cruel.

🎬 Subito – Instant Photography

Movie poster for “Subito – Instant Photography”.

About the history of Polaroid. A lot of great info and anecdotes about instant photography. Nice animations included. An hour and fifteen minutes very well spent!

📖 Utopien für Realisten – Rutger Bregman

Kann dieses Buch nur empfehlen. Auch wenn man sich – wie ich – mit den meisten Themen schon einige Male befasst hat. Aber es ist immer gut zu wissen, dass sich einige Leute mit Themen auseinandersetzen, wie wir als Gesellschaft in Zukunft leben wollen und könnten. Und ...
