Here's a string of tweets I wrote this morning, a topic that's dear to me, but I never found the time to make a concise blog post out of it. So for now, the raw bites.
(Not to diss Flash or the Flash-developers or the creative work that got acomplished back then and helped to shape features of the web that came after. Also not to diss the JS-frameworks or -devs currently who likewise now are dabbling in stuff that the web stack by itself is only slowly beginning to adapt, waiting ...
In my series of "Thank you"s regarding the community around the Beyond Tellerrand Conference, next is Holger.
Not only has he done one of the epic conference shirt motives himself, but has printed several editions of the yearly shirt editions.
Holger has been on nearly every Beyond Tellerrand conference, with his screen-print machine and fine collection of shirts, caps, sweats, you name it, and for years now we always have some chats in the breaks, and usually I find myself with the urge to buy something off his table sooner ...
I've been following Jens' output for over a decade now. Not regulary, but every now and then some of his smart observations and thoughts surface in my information stream.
So I was excited to see his name in the speakers list, and his talk about the pros and cons of being a web worker did resonate with me.
So thank you Jens, for reminding me why I am doing this for two decades now. And again, that I am not alone, even though I often feel isolated when working in clients work, feeling like I ...
Wow. It was on the historical date of May 8th, that Mike Monteiro held this intense talk, reminding each and everyone who cared to listen of the conseqences and the possible impacts of the "I'm only doing my job here" mentality.
This talk gave me several goose bumps, having seen "5 came back" only recently, and still seeing this one shot of the inside of a german concentration camp, where right after the allied troops went in, a film team documented not only the unimaginable horror and piles of dead and starving ...
A thorough article on the current challenges, technically and ethically, regarding the use of elsewhere published public data that can be regarded as 'personal data' in the GDPR/DSGVO sense. Data that will be published for example by pulling in likes, shares and comments posted on Twitter here in my blog, as 'reactions' alongside with 'real' comments on my posts.
As Sebastian writes
Just the fact that I can aggregate a “facepile” showcasing everybody who clicked “like” on a tweet of mine does not mean that my motivations for doing so are more important than their right to stay in control

Recognizing all of the ways our carefully-crafted experiences can be rendered unusable can be more than a little disheartening. No one likes to spend their time thinking about failure. So don’t. Don’t focus on all of the bad things you can’t control. Focus on what you can control.
Start simply. Code defensively. User-test the heck out of it. Recognize the chaos. Embrace it. And build resilient web experiences that will work no matter what the internet throws at them.alistapart.com
Podcast mit Sebastian ("the designer"), Balthasar ("the lawyer"), Joschi ("the developer") und Hans ("the host"), zum Thema Nummer Eins, das gerade für große Verunsicherung in meiner Web- und Kundenblase sorgt, natürlich kurz vor Ablauf der Deadline.
Anhören!
Nach meiner persönlichen und sicherlich nicht repräsentativen Erfahrung haben die wenigsten Kunden/Webseitenbetreiber eine Idee davon, was da alles mit inkrafttreten der DSGVO zum 25.5.2018 getan werden muss, um unfallfrei durch die zu erwartende Abmahnwelle durchzukommen. Datenschutzerklärungen, Auftragsdatenverarbeitungsverträge, Verfahrensverzeichnisse… nicht wirklich hilfreich ist, dass nun, kurz vor knapp, natürlich auch aus allen Ecken teils widersprüchliche Tips und Empfehlungen kommen und derzeit viele Angebote, Generatoren ...
Drüben beim Illustratoren-Alter-Ego gibts eine hybsche Frühlingspostkarte zu erstehen. #justsayin ;-)
Schöne Ostern, Ihr Herzchen.
We should work toward a universal linked information system, in which generality and portability are more important than fancy graphics techniques and complex extra facilities.www.w3.org
… warum zur Hölle darf ich mich auch in 2018 noch immer mit "Gestaltern" rumschlagen, die nicht verstehen (wollen), dass Design für Web wesentlich mehr ist, als schöne Screens zu entwerfen?
*sigh
