Some links don’t call for a full blog post, but sometimes I still want to share some of the good stuff I encounter on the web. Maria Ressa talks with Jon Stewart on the Daily Show・A video featuring Maria Ressa and Jon Stewart is bound to be brilliant, but this one is especially quotable and bookmark-worthy. The...
This weekend I spent hours tweaking little cosmetic and technical aspects of this blog. I finally managed to change the HTML of the footnotes, which I am happy to say is now an <aside> element and not a <section> element anymore. Semantically, I think it makes more sense like this.1 I wonder why the footnotes module...
At first glance, this post may read like an ad, feel like an ad, but it’s not an ad. It just lists reasons that make me really, really like BBEdit, an app that I have long avoided and considered too complicated and complex for my humble computing needs. But last year, while I switched from the excellent Blot...
Well, August went by in a flash, didn’t it? Time flew by. My two weeks of holiday lasted what felt like five days, including a very relaxing week in the Austrian Alps, where I managed to rest both body and mind, to return to my working routine this past week, fully recharged. During the break, I had the time and...
It’s a good thing I have this format of posts, otherwise this blog may suffer from a lack of regular updates.

It’s hard to...

Because I still refuse to consider a Chromium-based...
This month, I was not able to write anything for the blog. Not because I didn’t find a topic worth writing about, but rather because too many articles inspired me to write something, which felt a little counter-productive. In the meantime, please enjoy these links, some may return soon in a proper post. The 13...
The world of the internet stood still. The brains behind the HTML and CSS browser specifications had gone mad. Their decisions — hitting like lightning — had sent shockwaves through the web developer community, the obvious victim of this folly. If you did not know about this earthquake of a story but worry about its...
Some links don’t call for a full blog post, but sometimes I still want to share some of the good stuff I encounter on the web. 12:01・Described as an “anti-disciplinary creative studio,” 12:01 is the creation of Hassan Rahim. I followed Rahim for years on Tumblr, Instagram, and Twitter (before deleting all my...
I really like OpenAI products. I can certainly appreciate Altman as a company leader (even if there is a dark cloud — and silvery orb — following him seemingly everywhere). Obviously, I admire Sir Jony Ive and most of the products he designed for Apple over the years, easily placing him among the most influential...
