The action was really good. The "infected" were, too. And the acting was, too. It's suspenseful. It's emotional. But the story was pretty bonkers. And then this ending! I did not not enjoy it, but some decisions were a bit of a head scratcher.

Arrived in Berlin for IndieWebCamp on the weekend! 🥳

This morning, I ended up on chsmc.org’s “Applying Pixar’s rules of storytelling to writing” post. At the bottom, he quotes: No work is ever wasted. If it’s not working, let go and move on – it’ll come back around to be useful later. I knew I had to come back to this point. No...

If there is one thing that I’ve learned in my roughly 30 years of working with design tools, it is that they come and go and that you should always stay curious and be open and ready to learn something new. As a teenager, I made my first clip-arty design attempts in CorelDRA...

Saturday was my 20th #Wikipedia editing anniversary.I have created:* over 25 content articles (that have survived), averaging just over 1 per year* over 100 redirects to make it easier to find pages, and to find topics which are only documented as sections of existing pages.T...

After a brief project-related trip to Hanover early next week, I will return to Berlin on Wednesday to experience @btconf on Thursday and Friday. Sadly, @marcthiele has announced that this will be the last #btconf in Berlin for the foreseeable future. I am really looking forward to it and can only advise you to grab one of the last tickets quickly. It will be worth it! 👉 https://beyondtellerrand.com/events/berlin-2025 #btconf

A short look ahead to my upcoming week of travel and events, where I’d be happy to meet some of you: This weekend, 1-2 November, marks the 9th #IndieWebCamp Berlin — once again at the @mozilla office, co-organised by @tantek.com and me. Participation is free, and we’ll spend the weekend hacking on our personal websites. I’m planning to explore ways to make websites more sustainable and will bring along some hardware for hands-on tinkering. Come and join us! 👉 https://indieweb.org/2025%2FBerlin

Humans love stories. Maybe that is because for thousands of years, stories were the way information was preserved and passed on to others, to the next generations. Maybe because they create community and collective culture. Maybe because they capture our imagination and spea...

I have to confess that I am not reading that many books these days. Most of the time, I resort to listening to them in audio form. But every once in a while, a book comes along that is just too interesting not to at least give it a try. Reading Kai Brach’s excellent newslett...

A recording of Alors on danse, news of a new exhibition of Michelangelo’s work, an event on creative writing, and information about art history courses all exist side-by-side in the ever-changing landscape that is my browser tabs. Every one is a train of thought: the tabs on ...
