Aside from the fact that Heydon and Andy have published a very interesting work regarding the art of (writing less) CSS "Every Layout" - and want to get paid for the value this will bring to your arsenal - this blog post is a very good read.

WebrockerUsing Framework Powers For Good - Marcus Herrmann
Marcus has compiled a great collection of ways how (js) frameworks, which are often blamed for being responsible for unaccessible sites, can actually help in getting things right, a11y-wise.
The Web Has Turned …
The web has turned and left me here Just where I was before it appeared And in its place an empty space Has filled the void behind my face I just made love with its sweet memory One thousand times in my head it said it loved it more than ever it said it remains…
A quick note to my past-self
If there’s one thing that now-me would urgently tell past-me, when starting this whole self-employed business, it is this: Beware of „cost“ focussed clients, seek the „investment“ minded ones. Adapt your communication accordingly. If your services are seen only as „cost“, no fruitful and growing relation will come out of it - and with those…

The Power of Metaphor - Mike Hill @Beyond Tellerrand Conference, Düsseldorf 2019
This talk yesterday kind of illustrated the frame for many of the stories that were told by the talks that followed. The circle of stories, the archetypes, the whole 'going from the known to the unknown', the 'old self / new self' transformation, the dragon's den… there's a lot of that to be found in…
This is the end of the web as we know it
… and I don't feel fine. die anstehende beschlossene Urheberrechtsreform der EU; die geplante "EU-Verordnung zur Verhinderung der Verbreitung terroristischer Online-Inhalte", und mal ein paar Newsmeldungen der letzten Tage: Official EU Agencies Falsely Report More Than 550 Archive.org URLs as Terrorist Content: Österreich plant Bundesgesetz über Sorgfalt und Verantwortung im Netz (SVN-G): Das russische Parlament…
