Last Sunday, I’ve been on another photo trip with Florian. We had a great time in fantastic weather at the Tetraeder in Bottrop. He took some fabulous photos:

Lots of websites and apps now provide fee-free booking for UK train tickets to any destination, featuring split-ticketing and better options for identifying the best value fares. Yet, many people I know still consider The Trainline to be the only option.

Working on my talk for @btconf (🙀😁) and can’t wait to see so many good friends again! 💚 Who of you will be in Düsseldorf in less than three weeks? 👋

Ruben invited me to participate in a blog questions challenge, noting: I suspect James would find one of these viral blog series easier if it were about books and/or coffee, but I’m tagging him here! He may do with this as he wishes. This inspired me to think of what a “cof...

In today’s world, it is becoming more and more important to be embodied in the place we live in. To experience the changing of the season, the rhythms of nature. To feel the experience of place to our last nerve. And what is more indicative of nature as it exists in a certain...

When I write about what I am building with technology, I often love showing off something I made and explaining how it works. With that said, I can only get to the point of something ready to share after thinking, experimenting, and following the direction that feels right as...

I made a thing using CSS to display a four-image slideshow at the top of the Forkalyst homepage. I was (and still am) experimenting with positioning, gradients and animation. It took me longer than I thought it would and I’m still not 100% happy. But I reckon it’s good enough for now.

This might be the most disgusting film I've ever seen. And it's not "just" all the guts and gore; it's all the food stuff, too. And all those close-up and wide-angle shots really emphasise it all. It's quite remarkable how this movie made me feel. And those makeup and "costumes": so good! I really wonder how this got so mainstream. Anyway, it's really a courageous piece, directing- and acting-wise. And it's funny, too. It's so over the top, it could not not be funny. The society criticism is not subtle at all, and I found this rather fitting. Writing all this, I kind of want to watch another round. But I'm not quite sure, if I'm courageous enough.

My Garmin watch did not sync activities with the Garmin Connect iOS app upon returning home from a week of travels. It did sync my steps from the day I landed, my sleep that night, and steps the following day. It just failed to pick up my running, hiking, and other activities...

Accounts of one’s personal website – from the story of why one started a website to the decisions made and lessons learned while making and using the site – are plentiful. Rightfully so. I love reading others’ perspectives on websites, too. I love writing about my website. It...

Here is an example of a link that, when clicked, sends you to a YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsEZmictANA The URL structure could be so much better. Without clicking on the link, the only context you have is that the site being linked to is YouTube.com. Man...

The joy of: Walking and cherry blossom petals falling around you. Noticing how charming a building you have walked past dozens of times is. I noticed a clock at the top of a building that I have never seen before. Seeing someone with their hands up their sleeves on a spring day. Like me! Noticing the first red tulips emerge this season. Seeing people rest under trees in the park on a warm spring morning. Hearing talented musicians play acoustic songs in a public square. Seeing people smile. Seeing flowers in pots growing at doorsteps. The warmth of the sun on your cheek on a sunny day. Looking out over hills. Sharing stories. Conversations where you notice someone’s eyes light up. Hearing someone talk about something they enjoy. Warm hugs.

My static site generator orders posts by file name. Post file names follow this structure: yyyy-mm-dd-slug.md For example, the title of this page is 2025-04-13-ordering-posts.md. While this works to ensure posts are ordered depending on their publication day, there is one s...

Before leaving the house this morning, I decided to work on my website. I have 15 minutes before I leave, maybe I can fit in some web weaving. I worked on the mobile navigation bar. For a while, I have thought that the reading experience could be improved. There were lots of links; all the links were text. Last night, I reduced the number of links and this morning I added icons. I was writing CSS down to the wire. If I didn’t finish on time, I would miss my train. I had done some experimentation in the evening so I was as ready as I could be. But I didn’t have time to set the spacing between elements. By the time you are reading this, the mobile navigation bar will have a new, more focused design, with icons to differentiate links! Why are there no movies where a character has to write CSS in a hurry? To whom do I write to propose such a plot feature?

When I visit coffee shops, I like to take notes of things that I appreciate about their design, as well as wishes for what would improve my experience in the coffee shop. Most of these notes are scattered throughout the forest that is my digital notebook, so I thought I would...

Serious question: what does a “Global Head of AI” do at an agency and why does it somehow feel like it is just a regular creative director with a cringey job title? 🥴
