(*) not necessarily in that order. Depends.

I'm usually building websites at the speed of life when I'm not cycling, boating or hiking somewhere.
Amongst others things, I enjoy photography, contemporary dance and arts, hanging out on the lake and messing with technology in its various forms and shapes.

🆕 blog! “Rebuilding FourSquare for ActivityPub using OpenStreetMap”

I used to like the original FourSquare. The "mayor" stuff was a bit silly, and my friends never left that many reviews, but I loved being able to signal to my friends "I am at this cool museum" or "We're at this pub if you want to meet" or "Spendi…

A fascinating episode of 99pi @99percentinvisible by Lashan Madan (https://twitter.com/) that resonated deeply with me. Not only because my first visit to Mumbai was in the early 1980, before the vulture specie's collapse, but it covers how we handle uncontrollable cultural shifts and deal with death.
A new favourite 💜

Typography is such an immersive (and nerdy) topic, and @elliotjaystocks is among the best at explaining its different concepts in a crystal clear way, while sharing his passion for type.

I love typography 😍 at @smashingconf

While I can understand why, it was a damn useful feature sometimes… “Google will no longer back up the Internet: Cached webpages are dead” in @arstechnica https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/02/google-search-kills-off-cached-webpages/

All sorts of nonsense going on with a site over the past week. Have a news story on a page that Google Search console is telling me is invalid AMP - tested it on https://validator.ampproject.org/and the code is valid. There are hundreds of posts on this site and has never happened before and the 4 posts following it are ok.

Then three news posts later Google decides to not index a new post because it disagrees with the canonical and chooses a post from 2018! They are completely different!

le sigh

@simoncox I feel for you #courage

I closed my Basecamp account earlier this month, after having been a happy customer+user since April 2004 — that’s almost 20 years ago, give or take a few months.

Closing my account felt strange as we go back a long way. But, my project management needs have evolved in such a way, that Basecamp has become less relevant to me.

Thank you for everything Basecamp ♥︎

I can't stop touching the wooden board I received from Mathias 💜 Its lines are so neat and soft to the touch, it make me happy each time it catches my eye 😍

It's made byDiverssencee in Geneva (https://www.instagram.com/diverssence.gva/).

davidroessli,

@john_fisherman Yes (and no) — I could use it as a cutting board, but I’m afraid it would mark quickly as it’s tender (the dark parts are epoxy resin to fill the gaps). I’m using it to serve food 😎

Saturday morning breakfast enjoying Michael Krasny's interview of Jason Snell (@jsnell) on Grey Matter.
As a long time Mac user, and having experienced first hand the rise of the Internet and the birth of the web, so much of what Jason talks about resonates deeply with me - we share many references. Great interview. 😍☕️🥐🎧

@Iconfactory Hello 👋🏼 Is it me, or have the « Space 1999 » themed wallpapers been removed from Wallaroo ?

I accidentally overwrote the lunar base map and I am unable to locate it in the current collection 🤔
