No need for me to write anything that has been said already. But here are some links about what people said. Bastian Allgeier has written a longer post with his opinion about and his experience with Mastodon: Suddenly there was this old Twitter vibe. Real conversations. Re...

My friend Eva-Lotta Lamm just published a course about visualising information through illustration.

Learn to structure presentations and other content as well as take expressive meeting notes in real time by combining text and sketches

The course is on pre-sale right now for €19,90 instead of €59,50 and worth every cent. If you are into sketching and visualising your thoughts, you should get it. If not, you should also get it to get into sketching. Structure your thoughts, communicate with visual notes and learn new techniques, if you already use sketching.

I had to smile a lot when listen to these two. Brendan Dawes and Hugh Elliott in conversation in the Can’t Sell This podcast.

For many years my number one tool on any of my computers is iA Writer. I love it and use it more than anything else. it does exactly what it needs to do, is fast and does not distract me from what I want to do, using the tool: writing. Now iA is working on a text based pre...

Once more Felix Braden has released a very tasty typeface over there at Floodfonts. It is called Sirenia and feels very organic.

The whole set contains 1270 characters and includes many decorative elements as well as swash variations. I really like the warm look and feel and can’t wait to give it a play for the right purpose. Maybe already for next beyond tellerrand in Düsseldorf ;)

But have a look yourself and see how nicely Sirenia looks and feels.

This was the first year back in New York after 2019. And here is my set of photos from Smashing Conference 2022 in New York.

I can’t believe someone would ever create a film about what I do. Totally excited, but equally afraid to see how it turns out in the end and what the story line of the documentary is.

How that all started? Well, there are those two guys. Their names are Andreas Brüggemann and Stefan Nitzsche. They both are lovely people. And they decided to make a documentary about what I do – beyond tellerrand. I think that is crazy 😳. But also nice and I am humbled. And excited.

See Trailer 3 of the film here:

Totally forgot about the platform for a while. I had reasons not to be on it back then, but now Vero seems less broken than things like Instagram.

So, I am on Vero to post photos. Let’s connect!

Three weeks before I ran beyond tellerrand in Berlin Léonie wrote me to ask, if I’d be up for co-hosting this years [Inclusive Design 24] online event. Of course I am! The event takes place on September 22nd and even though it is the 17th birthday of my son at this day, I wi...

During beyond tellerrand in Berlin the ZDF has been in the house and followed Janis McDavid before, during and after his talk.

You can watch the short clip in the ZDF Mediathek and maybe you spot yourself in the film ;)

The Working Products Conference takes place on September 15th and 16th For beyond tellerrand I often team up with other events and we help to promote each other. The reasons are as easy as follows: There are a lot of other interesting and good conferences taking place all a...

I have been in Brighton after a long time for the very first time. The last dConstruct has taken place after it was announced for 2020 already and I have some impression in photo form here for you.

Ten years ago Vitaly and I started Smashing Conference In 2011, on the very first beyond tellerrand conference I ran, Vitaly Friedman was part of the line-up. We had just got to know each other and met for the first time, when we did a road trip to the New Adventures Confere...

I have had the honour to be invited to the Why We Create Podcast – great fun! From time to time I get invited to an interview or asked to speak or, like this time again, to be a guest in a podcast. Often times the inviting people ask me to speak about what I do and how it al...

I just re-watched the two trailers that Andy Brügemann and Stefan Nitzsche released before the pandemic for their documentary about my beyond tellerrand (@btconf) events. And even though it feels strange to listen to myself or knowing there is a film to be released about what I do, I have to say, that I said many things that are still and always counting for me. I love to run these events from deep out of my heart and I am excited for what is coming. Despite the tough times all event organisers experience right now. Because the majority of people I know who run events, do it because it is their true passion. Thanks for each and everyone supporting this for more than 10 years now.

I am running a couple of days each week for many years now. For a couple of years I was thinking about getting a bike to ride it in addition to running. I got one now – and I wish I would have done before. The bike how I bought it (left), outside during a ride (middle), with...

I have been busy running the first beyond tellerrand event in 2022 in Düsseldorf. It was absolutely fantastic. Even though the event has not been sold out, like any other before, the vibe, the atmosphere and the warmth people created was amazing. Speakers, audience, partners...

It has been quite a while since I had the honour of being a guest in the Workingdraft Podcast. The podcast in German language is a long running show and in their 525th episode it was about time to chat about all things events again and being an event organiser in times of Covid. The two lovely hosts Schepp and Peter Kröner made me feel very welcome and the recording pure joy. Thanks a lot.

I hope you are going to like the edition of Workingdraft … well, if you understand German that is.

Those of you who use Kirby CMS for client projects might like the idea of giving your client a more branded experience in their panel. Here is a nice cookbook recipe by Isaac Bordons.

Unsubscribed from all RSS Feeds which only deliver headlines or headline and a very small excerpt or like “This post appeared first on xyz” without any other content besides the headline. Really like the idea of reading the whole post in the feed actually and being forced to visit the website and leave my reader. In my opinion, if you offer a feed, why don’t you use it for people so that they are able to read? Only teasing them and trying to get them to your website is annoying.

Lovely to see that another event has survived the bloody pandemic. Hello Bump Festival in Belgium 👋 … good to have you back!

I always try to stay positive. Even in situations where there is not much to laugh about. Mostly I try to focus on the positive bits during these times. Like for the last two years as for many of us. Now there are a few things I really do enjoy. One of them is speaking to ot...
