Walking
When did I stop walking as much? I realised this week after having found the motivation to go out for a few walks. I knew that I didn’t want to spend the whole day inside. I want to see the world. With each passing day, I felt more confidence in going out. My usual walk seeme...
Raindrop
The autumn rains are here. I have been looking forward to a bit of rain. There is something delightfully cosy about sitting inside reading or writing or watching television while the rain falls outside. And, rain means the opportunity for rainbows. This week, I have seen at l...

My daughter found a bug on my website. And now she’s so happy! 😁🥰
Creating a searchable archive page
One of the pages I use most on my website is the page that lists the titles of all of my blog posts. I made this page for two reasons: (i) for quick reference to all of my recent posts beyond those on my home page, and (ii) so that I can search the page by post title. I often...
Artemis Changelog #7
Artemis, the calm web reader I maintain, has a few new features. Below is a summary of the features now available to all users.
Also, I have started a Discord server for the project in which I can both answer questions and will potentially share some stories of the behind-th...
Designing a new button to visually show and hide alt text
In Developing an alt text button for images on my website, I wrote about how I made a button for visibly showing and hiding alt text on my website. I enjoy reading alt text. Alt text is great.
My implementation method used a combination of a HTML checkbox and the CSS :has se...
📄 FeedCity updates September 2025
There have been a few things happening recently in FeedCity land:
🎬 28 Days Later
While this might have a little bit of shitty digital quality, I think otherwise this really holds up well and is a great entertaining zombie film. The story is great, the characters and the acting is there, the infected are menacing, the action is good. And it just has a lot of great scenes. Was again looking forward to that blood-drops-in-the-eye shot.
🎬 Final Destination Bloodlines
Haven't seen a movie from this franchise in a long time. Do I like the CGI-to-the-max? No. But otherwise, it's actually pretty entertaining with great humour. Death has once again packed a fine assortment of Rube Goldberg death machines and bloody butterfly effects.
Collaborative web weaving
At this week’s Homebrew Website Club, I was introduced to the Live Share extension developed by Microsoft for Visual Studio Code. The extension lets you start a collaborative editing session to which you can invite others.
Excited to learn that this extension exists, and cur...
📖 Ein Hirsch, ein Virus und ein Baby – Nils Wittrock
Wie auch sein erstes Buch, mochte ich dieses zweite auch sehr gerne. Ein, zwei Kapitel waren mir etwas zu ausschweifend, aber ansonsten ein kurzweiliges Buch, das interessante Einblicke in das Leben einen Independent-Musikers gibt im Speziellen zur Corona-Pandemie-Zeit und bei gleichzeitigem Familienzuwachs.
Heading home after three incredible days full of inspiration and of meeting good friends and making so many new ones at @smashingconf. Thank you so much for the smashing time and have a safe trip back home, everyone! 🤗💚🎈
Finally put the next date up for the Homebrew Website Club meetup. Happening in two weeks on 23.09.2025.
30 collaborative things you can do on the web
In 100 things you can do on your personal website, I shared ideas for what you can do with your website. Most of them were ideas that can be worked on yourself. With that said, I find myself increasingly delighted by the collaborative spirit of the web.
Indeed, one of the wo...
Whimsy
Sometimes you need to make a web page about an air fryer. At least, this was the intution underlying my musing Maybe I should start an air fryer blog. in a Discord of which I am a member. It all started with a discussion about dinner and then website talk ensued.
With my din...
