Wherever I go, I usually bring my backpack. In it, I always keep a few things. First, I try to always bring a book with me. I usually pack a book to read before I leave the house, for the book I am reading is either at my bedside or next to my chair. Right now, I am reading t...

Over the last few months, I have been taking a part-time online course with the V&A focused on the history of art. The course has taken me through eras from Classical art and sculpture all the way to Impressionism, Cubism, and Surrealism. With every lecture, I feel like m...

Great #indieweb sessions at #btconf #Berlin!Yesterday, Sacha Judd (@sachajudd.com) reminded us to “teach someone …. something about building for the web”, and to “take back control of your feeds, your attention, and … go exploring again”. She encouraged us to “build healthy o...

On the train on my way home from @btconf Berlin 2025. I took the time to write a quick review and now I'll tackle some of these ideas I had in the last two days. ⌨️

Last weekend, I rather spontaneously attended the IndieWebCamp Berlin.

Leaving @btconf once again with a lot of new input after 2 days of nice interactions with really lovely people. After attending the events in Munich and Düsseldorf I could now cross off Berlin from my bucket list. Thanks to @marcthiele , the speakers and the crew for a really great time and see you all in Düsseldorf in 2026.

Good morning @btconf 🫶 #btconf

First week note: optimized Hugo page speed, got flu shot, posted about coffee, explored Gopher. Links on Spotify, agentic AI, Google's sideloading saga.

A response, at the last minute, to IndieWeb Carnival: On Ego The first time I really remember my ego screwing me was when in high school. My response to Colors in August 2025 included that story. A teenager who was told for years he was good at drawing was confronted by a criticism. That teen–me–shut...

Zachary Kai restarted the IndieWeb Book Club in October 2025. The book in question was The Creative Act by Rick Rubin. I am in strong alignment with the ideas in this book. Creativity is the birthright of absolutely every human being. It is not the exclusive tool of Beyoncé and grade-schoolers and Itzhak Perlman. I...
