Seasons
My first thought was the field of pink petals. Day by day, petals fall from the tree as green leaves grow from the blossom. I wonder for how long the petals will keep falling. There seem to be a million dots of pink in spring, from which there is a new perspective to see eve...
Oh boy! The bee-eaters are back.

Why should I care?
Today was a really nice and sunny day, so I went out with some friends from uni. We went to a Café (no shops open on International Workers' Day) and decided to go to the museum next to it because museums are free with our student ticket thing.
The main exhibit in the museum...
Day; night
The day holds onto the light for as long as it can. The warm glow of the horizon reminds me of all of the bright adventures of the day, and makes me wonder “what will I do tomorrow?”. I can see the first star, which means that night will soon be here; the time for rest, processing, and preparing to imagine tomorrow.
(Written a few days ago, and published on a rainy evening where the memories of the sunset on a clear evening warm my heart.)

The octopuses are gorgeous.
My words, not my content
Every so often I think about the word “content.” It’s not my favourite word. Content feels relatively flat compared to the things to which it can refer.
I have been meaning to write about my preference for something else for a while: I prefer to say “my words” or “my storie...
Walking
I don’t think I will need my jacket. The weather is warm enough that I can go outside without one. It always feels both special and jarring on the first days of the year when the world is so warm that you can go out without a jacket – the anticipation for the warmth clashes ...

I recently experimented with writing a new 401 page for the IndieWeb wiki to replace the default nginx page we have. My experiment is not live yet, but I wanted to document a few of the decisions I made while writing the page.
First, I chose the title “You n...
Joyful web design
I think about joy when I make web pages. If you hover over the mascot on my blog, its eyes will open. The typeface of my blog title on my home page is the same one Taylor Swift used for her evermore album. If you explore my website for long enough, you will find an Easter eg...
Sunset, Düsseldorf
The moment when the sun crosses the horizon feels like it should last longer than it does. Within a few minutes, the sun has moved out of view; the red glow — a moment of transition (is all of life a moment, or moments, of transition?) — tells us where the sun once was. The ...
Of the night; a note
The joy of exploring a city with friends — of getting lost and finding your sense of place again, of laughing under the moon and discussing the rainbows we see when we look at light; of discussing the cuisine of Germany in a warmly lit bakery, a treat as the day came to an end; of looking forward to the next day — conversations and talks and futures.
Designing software with travel in mind
While I was away in Düsseldorf, and when I got back, I received a notification in Artemis asking whether I wanted to change the time zone in which the reader was set. It is important that the user’s timezone is correct so that Artemis can continue to update at midnight in th...

Reorganising the Artemis settings page
Since the release of Artemis, the settings page has been growing steadily in size. What was a few options has grown into over a dozen. With every added option, it was harder to find each individual option.
The new settings page
With that in mind, over the last few weeks I ha...
