Also: there are only a few tickets left for what might just be Europe’s finest conference on design, creativity, and the Web. ✨ Trust me: this one’s genuinely special. The kind of event that will change you and your perspectives. 🖤
A week from now, I’ll be in Düsseldorf for @btconf 🎉🤗
Can’t wait to be back in the audience – who will join me there? 👋
Woohoo! Jasper and Florian added webmention support to their blogs!
“Brevity was always a discipline. Now it’s a statement. When everything around you is excessive by default, choosing fewer words takes courage. It says: I thought about this. I edited. I respected your time more than I needed to show my work.”

@NASA.gov has lots of short Artemis videos on their YouTube channel (@NASA@YouTube.com), however this 10h10m video of the Artemis II lunar flyby appears to be the closest to a continuous long-form recording of the live stream during that period.https://youtu.be/z-j1uxBmis0 Af...

🔗 IWC DUS 2026 Feed List
I made a public list of feeds for IndieWebCamp 2026 in Düsseldorf, taking place very soon on the weekend of April 25 and 26.
So far, I have put people on the list that are listed as participants on the Wiki page for the event:
So, if you like, you can use this list to see what everyone’s up to before, during, or after the event. You can just browse the list’s web page, or chuck its feed into any feed reader and follow along that way.
I’ll update the list whenever new people RSVP or show up at the event.

A #longread about a man with a stopwatch, a school in Weimar, and why the gap between design and engineering isn’t an accident.

Design and Engineering, As One
In the winter of 1898, a mechanical engineer named Frederick Winslow Taylor arrived at the Bethlehem Steel Company in Pennsylvania with a stopwatch and a conviction. Taylor had been thinking for years about why industrial work was so inefficient, and he believed he had found...

This is very well made and played. But in the end there was just no real story.

It picks up speed after this, and you think "now here's what it's about", but then to be disappointed - because: no, it's not (and this happens multiple times). Nothing ever seems to really matter. Except - seemingly - the opening of that data centre, which is the second to last scene. But then, the film's too long IMHO. I don't know. But, yeah, it looks great and has fabulous acting.

This was an entertaining film! Performances are great. It's funny and absurd. How it's made reminded me of Ari Aster movies. And it seemed to me like they made a whole movie out of that dialogue Nic Cage has with the fine dining chef in Pig. Anyway. What makes it miss a recommendation, is maybe that I found it too serious at times and the lack of fleshing out all those guest characters more. And the arguments with which she escapes are kind of a cliché. But man, that burger looked tasty! And how she enjoys it on the boat when all the others explode was actually a good ending IMHO.
