The one year anniversary of the "never-ending" March has just passed. One year ago, my co-organisers and I were in limbo on whether the events we were running would happen in person or not. That week I was helping to run a London CSS and an IndieWebCamp. Both events were moved to fully online at the last minute. I...

The thing about loss is that it just doesn't seem to end. It gets easier though. One day you wake you and you're feeling fine but one insignificant action somehow opens the gates for the sadness to creep in. And then that's it. The floodgates open and the tears come out. If I thought the last months of 2020 were...

Hidde invited me to share what my typical day looks like. I saw the chain going around and I read a few from people I know. I thought it was really interesting and I had a strange feeling of relief when I read about real humans and the fact that, actually, they are very similar to me! It is a bit silly, but I always...

Every once in a while I realise that I have been rejected for something I didn’t even apply for. A couple of jobs ago, I was in the common area having lunch when a work colleague asked me if I had a Twitter account. “Yes”, I replied and told him my Twitter handle. I saw him scrolling on his phone and, after a...

The whole September I was quite overwhelmed with work and life. I remember that in September "The Social Dilemma" came out. I don't remember a lot more weirdly. In October I managed to take two weeks off! Visited the Isle of Wight for the first time to celebrate my birthday. Last week I took some time off to study...

When my Smashing Magazine article went live a couple of months ago a small discussion happened regarding my choice of words where I said I could have a “one true version” of yourself online. Behind my two extremes of either silence or self deprecating jokes, is a socially anxious human with baggage. I am not my...

The highlight of the month was: My article for Smashing Magazine went live!! Please read (and share if you think someone else would like it too)! 🤗 Bookmarks from August Web development System UIcons by Corey Ginnivan. Transparent textures by Mike Hearn. Debugging HTML With Advanced CSS Selectors by Matthias Ott....

Last week my article for Smashing Magazine went live! I was quite nervous and anxious but... so far nobody yelled at me - which is good! It was my first ever experience writing something slightly serious and going through an editing process. I really want to be proud of myself: I wrote something in my second...

Many of us, myself included, have made jokes about how we are our family’s tech support in an annoyed tone. I now regret those jokes. I wasn’t empathetic and I regret it. We expect parental controls to help children navigate the internet. The funny thing is that children have been online for the same time as our...

I've been thinking about this bookmark page especially because styling wise it is incomplete and a bit ugly and one day someone will call me out. But that isn't the only thing I've been thinking about: all those days (almost all this year) when I thought that I've done nothing for myself or my career I like to come...

I'm a big fan of static site generators and since last year I've been using Hugo for a lot for simple and small marketing/product websites for clients. However, I don't know Go and I struggle a bit to remember all the logic that work in the templates so... I do a lot of searching and copy pasting. I started to...

The news are quiet now and it is on purpose. There's protests happening. There's things happening. They just aren't showing it anymore. #BlackLivesMatter I can't believe that I also have to say this but... wear a mask! My bookmark list was getting big so here's a couple of things I've saved during May and June 2020....
