Noooooo! I made a huge mistake. I watched a few minutes of the deranged racist‘s AI ramblings in the Ruby World keynote on YouTube – and now my feed is full of that guy … 🤪
I‘d better go watch that Cumberbatch documentary now! 🌍🌱
The new Queens of the Stone Age album (scheduled for full release on October 30) is coming together really nicely so far! 👏 For instance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAOIpDUDGX4
Thank you so much to everyone who came to my talk at @getkirby’s very first #KirbyKonf! It was a joy to share some thoughts on The Web We Make with such a welcoming audience. 🤗
Here are the slides:

Thanks again for listening, chatting, and making these two days so special. What a lovely community! 🖤
I've been re-elected to the @w3c Board of Directors for another term:

Thank you to everyone who voted - the open web only stays open because people show-up!
Now, I'm looking forward to contributing towards W3C's corporate governance for another two years.
Ordentlich verkloppt. 😬 #GERGRE
Just got my annual COVID booster 💉 💪
Proud (and grateful) that at @TetraLogical our COVID and Flu Vaccine policies mean anyone not eligible to get them on the NHS can claim 100% on expenses.
Super important talk by @mrchrisadams at #kirbykonf about how to get to a fossil free Internet. 🌱🌍👏
Good morning, #kirbykonf! ☀️🤗
Aaaaaand off to @getkirby Konf! 🤗🔥🎉 #kirbykonf #kirbykonf2026
If you caught the Inclusive Design 24 @inclusivedesign24 #id24 talk with Lainey Feingold, Léonie Watson, Shilpi Kapoor, Meena Das, Jutta Treviranus, and Sheri Byrne-Haber, you can find out more about the book Digital Accessibility Ethics: Disability Inclusion In All Things Tech, here:

Two great points from Sheri Byrne-Haber
at Inclusive Design 24 #id24
"Procurement is the secret sauce for every organization because it lets them vote with their pocket books"
"You are liable for the organizations you choose to do business with"
"AI represents the most confounding ethical dilemma when it comes to disability" ~ Jutta Treviranus at Inclusive Design 24 #id24

Screw the narrative. Don’t believe the scare. The Web will never die. Love seeing you all sharing and publishing content on here – and on your personal sites and newsletters! 💚✊

This has been on my mind as well. Wouldn’t it be great if the AI Wild West – especially the open-weight models – got regulated, and there were only a few very responsible, very trustworthy companies allowed to proceed working with this incredibly dangerous technology? Wouldn’t that be great for their future stock prices, too?
