The Morrigan by Kim Curran
Every culture has its myths and legends. Greece has its gods and warriors. England has its stories of Arthur. Ireland has the Tuatha Dé Danann, The Ulster Cycle, and more.
But while the Arthurian legends and the Greek myths have been retold many times, the stories of ancien...

Concertina
I watched a good film last night. Tornado from the same writer and director of the also-excellent Slow West.
Tornado is a Scottish Samurai Western set in the 1790s. Although it’s not likely that many Samurai would’ve been in Scotland during the sakoku period, I was willingl...

Saying “No” In an Age of Abundance - Jim Nielsen’s Blog
In an age of abundance, restraint becomes the only scarce thing left, which means saying “no” is more valuable than ever.
I’m as proud of the things I haven’t generated as the things I have.
Stop generating, start thinking - localghost
Generated code is rather a lot like fast fashion: it looks all right at first glance but it doesn’t hold up over time, and when you look closer it’s full of holes. Just like fast fashion, it’s often ripped off other people’s designs. And it’s a scourge on the environment.
Coding Is When We’re Least Productive – Codemanship’s Blog
codemanship.wordpress.com/2026/01/30/coding-is-when-were-least-productive/
I’ve seen so many times how 10 lines of code can end up being worth £millions, and 10,000 ends up being worthless.

CSS in 2026: The new features reshaping frontend development - LogRocket Blog
Jemima runs through just some of the exciting new additions to CSS:
Replacing 150+ lines of JavaScript with just a few CSS features is genuinely wild. We’re able to achieve the same amount of complexity that we’ve always had, but now it’s a lot less work to do so.
And Jemima will be opening the show at Web Day Out in Brighton on the 12th of March if you want to hear more of this!
Jeremy Keith – beyond tellerrand Podcast
I really enjoyed this chat with Marc:
I recently sat down with Jeremy Keith for a spontaneous conversation that quickly turned into a deep dive into something we both care a lot about: events, community, and why we keep putting ourselves through the joy and pain of running conferences.

Daughters of Sparta by Claire Heywood
Towards the end of 2025, I wrote:
I think I might change things up in 2026. Instead of waiting until the end of the year to write all the little reviews at once, I think I should write a review as soon as I finish a book. Instead of holding onto my reckons for months, I ...

You Can Just Say No to the Data - Jim Nielsen’s Blog
Appealing to data as the ultimate authority — especially when fueled by engineered desire — isn’t neutrality, it’s an abdication of responsibility.
Don’t judge a book by its cover
Some neat CSS from Tess that’s a great example of progressive enhancement; these book covers look good in all browsers, but they look even better in some.
Try text scaling support in Chrome Canary - Josh Tumath

There’s a new meta tag on the block. This time it’s for allowing system-level text sizing to apply to your website.

Laura’s classic book is now a web book that you can read for free online.
699: Jeremy Keith on Web Day Out – ShopTalk
This episode of the Shop Talk Show is the dictionary definition of “rambling” but I had a lot of fun rambling with Chris and Dave!
Backseat Software – Mike Swanson’s Blog
People use “enshittification” to describe platform decay. What I’m describing here is one of the mechanisms that makes that decay feel personal. It’s the constant conversion of your attention into a KPI.
39C3 - Persist, resist, stitch - YouTube
A fascinating talk looking at the history of the intersection of knitting and stitching with wartime cryptography and resistance.

Lowering the specificity of multiple rules at once - Manuel Matuzovic
This is clever, and seems obvious in hindsight: use an anonymous @layer for your CSS reset rules!
