I came across Martijn’s post on Bubbles today and would like to take this opportunity to answer his question from my point if view … I can already hear you complaining that you shouldn’t use tables for layout. Why exactly? CSS is simple, stop making it hard Or: how to embrace 1997 CSS blog.brixit.nl All of us (with...

Football today is an incredibly data-driven sport. Everything is analysed, measured and weighted, and every now and then the fans get to see a little bit of this data, such as on-screen graphics showing ball possession or similar statistics. Alexander Bogachev’s project Football Data Portraits demonstrates what can...

We’re currently experiencing the second major heatwave in Germany. After the 41 degrees Celsius we had a few weeks ago in June, the 35 degrees now actually feel quite pleasant. Contrary to my usual habit, I didn’t manage to get around to taking photos in Thomas’ Garden in June, so I’m now posting some new photos...

Sicily is an island where, over the centuries, just about every culture in the Mediterranean has left its mark: Romans, Greeks, Arabs, Normans, etc. We didn’t spend much time exploring the history during our trip in May because it was meant to be a relaxing vacation, not a history lesson, but it’s definitely...

This is part two of my photographic review of our journey to Sicily in May. Views. And the island has so many of them – and in those two weeks we were only able to see just a few in the north. It was truly impressive – and a first for me – to come face to face not just with one, but two active volcanoes: Etna and...

I only take photos occasionally, even though it’s one of my great passions. Vacations are, of course, the perfect opportunity for this, although I have to make some compromises here too, because no woman who isn’t keen on photography will tolerate waiting for hours for the right moment in the long run. I’ve reached...

June has just ended, and it was fun to take part in Robert’s Junited campaign, even though I had a few days with gaps and only managed to collect 29 links. For my first time participating, though, that’s pretty near optimal. Today Robert has launched the next stage: JulyReply. Now it’s not just about collecting, but...

You stroll around a traditional market in town, stop at a stall and have a look at what’s on offer. You’re never alone, as others are doing the same. Unless you’re in a hurry and you like people, it’s quite common to strike up a casual conversation with other stall-goers or even the stallholder. “The stand is quite...

It was clear that Google’s unilateral abandonment of the quid pro quo principle of search—now effectively replaced by an AI-generated summary—poses a threat to the internet and will eventually backfire. Now there is a court ruling from Germany that holds Google directly responsible for false statements in its...

Many, many years ago, my darling and I planned a long weekend in Hamburg, including a sightseeing bus tour, a harbor cruise, and all the other things you typically do in Germany’s northernmost metro area when you’re there together for the first time. Since even as a grown man, I can hardly shake off my inner child,...

The first settlement, known as Hammaburg, dates back to the 8th century AD. What developed over the following 1,200 years is what we know today as Germany’s second-largest city: Hamburg. My partner and I go there for two or three days every year because we simply love the city, the harbor, the nearby sea, and the...
