progressive enhancement is not about offering all functionality; progressive enhancement is about making sure that your core functionality is available to everyone. Everything after that is, well, an enhancement (the clue is in the name). Jeremy Keith It is more often than not that I find myself in discussions about this exact point: I want…

WebrockerBabysteps in IndieWeb, pt3
Next up is the test if I can pull in comments from silos like Facebook or Twitter back to the blog post that got shared there. Let's raise the voodoo bar a bit now… this on twitter
Babysteps in IndieWeb, pt2
This is just a test, if my webmention endpoint actually is working. If not, I'll better apply for an account at webmention.io :-)
Babysteps in IndieWeb
The second day of the 2014 Border:None conference sees me sitting in a brewery cellar, and putting some h-entry and other microformats in the good ol' webrocker theme. Somewhat embarrising is having Mr Jeremy Keith looking at the source code which actually is kind of, hm, messy, having grown more or less organically for more…
The Color Purple
Today, my blog's color scheme changed to a certain color: It will not be enough. Nothing will ever be enough. But it will be something zeldman.com As I tweeted earlier: @meyerweb Your work made all the difference for me when I started way back then. Thank you so much. My thoughts are with you. #663399Becca…
On Critical Mass
(This is more of a braindump than it is a structured blog post and a cross post of frankfurt.opendevicelab.net) At the second ODL admin meetup, held at the Garage Bilk coworking space one day after the 2014 Beyond Tellerrand conference in Düsseldorf, we discussed, or better started to discuss, the possible need of some kind…
BTConfed, again
Wow. If there's the need to describe my feelings after attending last week's Beyond Tellerrand conference, it's this. Wow. When I first attended my first ever Web-Conference only four years ago, it happened to be the first Beyond Tellerrand, and I've been to all BTConfs that followed, because, well, they're awesome. Addictive. It is hard…
Git for Complete Beginners
Through Anselm Hannemann's newsletter 'Web Development Reading List' I found this very informative and easy to follow step-by-step guide to Git: The goal of this book is to get you started with version control and Git as quickly and easily as possible. Unlike other books about this topic, this one doesn't require a master's degree…
Don't Cross The Line
Here's a little sketch I made a while ago to help me decide what kind of projects I'm willing to engage in. Been near or even under the diagonal line far too often in the past, telling myself over and over again that things will change. No they don't. Change yourself.
(The Pains of) Displaying Random Content Records with Typoscript
Sometimes TYPO3, the mighty opensource Content Management System with a large community in Europe, drives me crazy. It really is a Love/Hate relationship we're having. I love the fact that you can get everything done with TYPO3 and I hate the fact that sometimes it's so damn complicated to get things done with TYPO3, not…
Pixel, Devicepixel, ppi, and your Mom
Assuming your mom is a designer, working with Photoshop on her fairly new Macbook 15", and putting out comps for "mobile"*. Somehow many of us assumed that an iPhone has a "screensize" of 320 x 480px, an iPad has 768 x 1024px and next up in line we have the laptop screens and desktop screens.…
Smashing Conference, Freiburg, Germany, September 2012
The first Smashing Conference was the second »web« conference I attended. Having talked with Vitaly Friedman and Marc Thiele at last year's »Beyond Tellerrand«, it was a no-brainer to attend the debut of Smashing Magazine's conference. I was sure that this would be another great opportunity to refill my drained batteries, to catch up with…
