Another Homebrew Website Club Nuremberg last night — and I'm still delighted that this friendly, diverse group of practitioners meets monthly in my city. Interesting, inspiring, relaxed, and funny, as always.

At Homebrew Website Club this evening we had a conversation about how to encourage people to make things together using the web. This could mean writing a blog post with someone, responding to someone’s blog post to continue a conversation, contributing to a wiki, creating a ...

Three areas of insights for improving focus, from this afternoon’s long run: needs, defense, techniques.1. Make sure your "needs" are met. If your needs are not being met, you will be distracted from whatever you are trying to focus on by those unmet needs.2. Defend against a...

Sometimes it’s good take a step back and re-assess things from the immediate like daily routines & habits, to how to focus on goals whether within weeks, months, or years. Taking bits of time off to reflect on these and related topics. The grayscale phone interface has helped me get here: https://tantek.com/2026/124/b1/may-the-focus-be-with-you-iphone-grayscale

The fifth episode of Wonders of Web Weaving is out: In Episode 5, I chat with Mike, the author of Shellsharks. We talk about, among other things, balancing personal and professional identities on personal websites, curating interesting content on the web, and creating bridges between disciplines with curation. I hope you enjoy the episode! Wonders of Web Weaving has an RSS feed you can use to follow along from wherever you get your podcasts.

Minor site updates, new style-guide, convoluted process of deleting old accounts, attending my first tech event, and link roundup as usual.

Classical music, quiet conversation, and the awakening of the day permeate the cafe, illuminated by the light passing through the tall windows, and accompanied by the smell of freshly brewed coffee. I hear one of the baristas make their colleague laugh, bringing a smile to my face.

Today I attended my first Magic the Gathering (MtG) draft: a “secret draft,” where players did not know ahead of time what series of the trading card game would be played. The event was held in a breathtaking church building, now used as a community centre. The building is al...

“No way,” I exclaim with wonder and glee and surprise. I look up and stare for a few moments, transfixed by the delicate wisps of cloud that rest side by side. The wisps move in tandem, as if woven together by an invisible bond. A pink hue is cast onto the periphery of a nea...

One of my favourite parts of writing – and, by extension, blogging – is that I can, in words, capture a little bit of a day, and keep a little record of the moment. Each post can be a bookmark to a memory, and also part of the story of my life. I love taking notes I walk aro...
