20 years ago I started to play Floorball. Back in a time when it was still called Unihockey in Germany. Today I went to the training for the last time. It‘s no longer a fit.

I had to laugh so hard on this “review” of the Apple Vision Pro by Casey Neistat! 😄

The moment he is standing on the stairs out of a subway, responding to some text messages is hilarious. I also loved when he saw that (virtual) butterfly and tried i…

Reading about v0 by Vercel I just had to look up what it’s about. It’s an AI to create user interfaces or just components.

Seeing the examples on their site, my first thought is that you’ll end up with lots of not really matching components.

You can get my photo Pink Sea on priints.com from now on! They offer premium prints using high quality materials, delivered to your door. Happy to see it hanging on your wall soon.

I really love this anecdote for when you are stuck:

They’re not going to start throwing darts against the wall until you say “Oh OK, I like that”. You have to say something more.

This keeps everything flexible and future proof. The web platform is stable and barely changes after all. 🙌

Chris Coyier shares a nice technique to build accessible emoji lists aka lists with an emoji as the list-style. Never heard of @counter-style before, but that’s how to get custom text as the list style.

Combined with a CSS-in-JS library, this can also be build to be dynamic, getting the data including the emojis, from some CMS.

The project ClimateJets highlights the amount of emissions caused by the private jets of the ultra rich. Besides the emissions it’s crazy how much time of the year some people spend flying. 🤯

More then ten years ago I tried reading eBooks with an entry level Kindle. I wasn’t convinced and sticked to physical books over the years. Last autumn I made a second try at digital reading – and this time I’m sold.
