Damn. In all their desperation, they’re all falling for those #a11y overlays now. 😔

Ensembles
Last weekend I visited The Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia, an art collection that showcases mainly Impressionist and Medieval art, with some other genres too. The gallery was unlike any other I have visited. The outside of the building was modern: constructed with grey lim...

A shed in JFK Plaza, Philadelphia, painted with a red background and the city skyline that says, in beautiful lettering, “love”

🎬 Nightcrawler
In the beginning I thought Jake Gyllenhaal’s character is pretty implausible. But then I just enjoyed his and Riz Ahmed’s performances, the pretty night scenes, the suspense and just his sheer dry ruthlessness. And the film also gives you plenty to think about.
Sounds like Hans had a lot of fun with his synths again doing the F1 movie soundtrack … 😁

TFW you build a site with @getkirby and web platform standards (== semantic HTML, modern CSS, a little bit of JavaScript, and a dash of ARIA) and you look at Lighthouse for the first time …
Looks like industry best practices actually work. (Sorry for using my platform to ruin anyone’s day. 🥰) 🍋
Yesterday, me and Florian participated in a photo walk, organised by the new Fujifilm X-Den space here in Düsseldorf. One could try out their (newest) camera gear, and so I had took the chance to try the X half.
Had a great time walking around the Altstadt, taking photos, and chatting with Florian, Lou and the friendly Fuji staff. → Florian’s post.

🎧 Lifeless Birth – Necrot
Just so much great riffing going on in this collection of fantastic songs. They have enough non-4/4-parts and tempo changes to make it interesting without making it hard to follow. There are some tasty guitar solos, too. “Drill the Skull” is my favourite, with this insanely awesome middle section.
This week, the second Homebrew Website Club Düsseldorf took place. This time, 5 people attended. After a round of introducing each other including website, we once more had a good chat about a variety of IndieWeb topics. And this time, we all did some coding, too. For example, Jochen made some commits to his django-indieweb project, Mark added some rel=me links and Microformats markup, and I fixed my Atom feed’s updated date to truly show the date they have been updated (which is quite relevant for example when sending WebSub notifications).
You know the problem when you accidentally or naively committed on the main Git branch, but then you’re too far coding something that turns out to need more and more (unexpected) work, and you find yourself not able to deploy to production? Yep, happened to me today (again).
🎧 Empros – Russian Circles
This was my entry album into Russian Circles. And it’s still my favourite, probably because of being my first. We saw them on tour back then in Auckland, NZ. And I still remember how that end part of “309” blew me away: first that drum beat, and then this thunderous bass. So heavy! And even better live.
aaaaaaaaaa! There it is!
My friend @koeberlin’s brand new typeface Tausend is out. So, so good … 😍
Oh wow! Beyerdynamic is being acquired by a Chinese company called Cosonic. Feels very AKG-esque, but of course, “nothing will change.”
☕️ I can drink coffee all day, also in the evening, and fall asleep without any problems (although my sleep quality might suffer).
🧉 But give me a cup of mate, and I’ll be wide awake until 3 am. 🪩🕺
😂
Let’s just for a second – purely hypothetical, of course – suppose there was a podcast where some random guy talks to people from the web community about their personal websites and what they’re curious and passionate about.
Who would you love to see as a guest? 🤔
🎬 A Girl Named Willow
Solide Unterhaltung. Der Wald war cool, Max Giermann war cool. Der Tochter hat's gefallen. Wir haben im Kino zu viel Popcorn gefuttert.
Florian asks everyone to please add their email address to their RSS feeds. Because then, FeedCity lets you directly reply to any of that feed’s posts via email (it’s a simple mailto: link).
Of course, I want you to do this, too! It’s one of those many underutilised data from a feed that can be really useful.
One thing to note is, that FeedCity won’t show the email reply button publicly (in FeedCity, all feeds have a public page) – it’s only shown for logged in users (or “citizens” as I call them). Prevents any email harvesting bots from gathering those addresses from the site.
