Haven’t posted here in a bit. But back at a web conference and feels like a good time to get back to it. If you’re at #SmashingConf in NYC say hello!

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.

After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

Dictation on macOS Tahoe got a lot better. Together with Cursor, this is a pretty powerful combination.

It’s two weeks before @SmashingConf NY. So I am working on a lot of communication. I’ve asked to make the website the main source of truth and to update all the emails. Saves me so much time.

Not just “how fast is my site?”, but “why is it slow, and what does that say about our org?”

So far I've received 11 submissions for this year's #HTMHellAdventCalendar. They look fantastic, but, you know, I need at least 24.

You can write about anything you want related to HTML. There's no “too basic”; we need more fundamental HTML knowledge out there because we suck at the basics. 1/2

Same! I once again underestimated the amount of work between Freiburg and New York haha.
So many ideas, so much time I don’t have.

Geen ongelukken of wegwerkzaamheden, maar er wel langer over doen? Vind ik verdacht.

My next course, Whimsical Animations, launches in “Early Access” in 1 week from today! 🎉

The most important thing to know is that registration will only be open for 7 days. You’ll be able to register from Sept 24th to Sept 30th. Otherwise, you’ll need to wait for the full launch, sometime in 2026.
