“I don’t like CSS” is coded speech for “I never learned CSS”

Enjoy!!

Wow thanks a lot. I have to admit I forgot about this video. 🤣🤣

Martin Up North This is not a crochet blog

This is done with a regular crochet hook. Really fun to do. I enjoyed it very much. Got the pattern from this page

Handmade crochet envelope bag with a checkered pattern of black and white squares, finished with a red triangular flap. The bag is displayed on a grey textured cushion.

Well here’s my latest project. It’s Tunesien crochet.

Had a wonderful day at @frontendnorth.bsky.social. Thanks a lot for having me.

Glad I’m here. And very excited.

Well, the trip started with a quick detour—had to drive back to my flat from the airport hotel because I forgot my passport 🙃
Then after we landed, there was a medical emergency on the plane and doctors had to attend to a passenger.
But hey, apart from that, everything’s going great! 🥴

Entrance to a modern transportation hub labeled “Welcome to The Station,” featuring icons for train, bus, and tram services above glass automatic doors.

Looks like I’ve found the one and only Station™ 😄
Just landed in Manchester—next stop: Sheffield!
Getting ready for @frontendnorth.bsky.social 🚆✨

Can I join 🙏

Didn’t have any good use cases in my latest projects. And I don’t want to add some animation just to have it without any purpose.

And since I’m not too familiar with view transitions yet I might overlook some nice opportunities.

As a German, I’m not expecting too much change when it comes to direct communication 😅

I went through something similar last year. So many “retire now with just [insert completely unrelatable amount]” pitches.

Perfect placement

At least I’ll be in the states end of August. That’s at least a bit closer.

Would love to attend. But sadly I’m not gonna make it this time. 😞

Do you know a way to detect if this kind of filter is supported so that we could use some progressive enhancement IF we wanted to use the effect?

There was a time when anyone could be an artist 👨‍🎨 — if they loved the work enough.
Then came the professionals.
Then came the camera.

Today, it’s not paint that’s being replaced. It’s code.

Well now I got a personal shoutout. 🎉🤣

Switching to Flex should do it as well.

A breakfast buffet featuring rows of pastries and sliced cakes. The front trays display banana bread and blueberry loaf slices on floral-patterned plates. Behind them, wooden boards hold neatly arranged croissants and pain au chocolat.

Nils, Nesim, and Jan (from left to right) stand smiling in front of a CSS Café banner. All three are wearing light pink shirts with a small owl graphic. The setting is a covered courtyard with checkered floor tiles and glass walls. A few other people are visible in the background.

Julia stands at the front of a cozy, wood-beamed room giving a talk to an attentive audience. Behind her, a presentation slide reads: ‘But can you even do anything useful?’

Johannes and Vilde are presenting in front of an audience at an indoor event. A large screen behind them displays the slide title “Ongoing Events.” The room is filled with seated attendees, viewed from the back, and has modern ceiling lights and wooden beams.

Wow – what a meetup!
Huge thanks to everyone who joined our in-person gathering right after #CSSDay.
Special shoutout to @miocene.io, Johannes, and Vilde for the fantastic talks.
We had such a great time and hope to see you all again next year! 🙌

W-o-w

A bunch of people in the café. In the front there are 2 speakers. On the tv there is a visual with text sjukt sjuke and some code next to it.

Closing off by following a presentation @css.cafe meetup. CSS in the News Room. So happy I still got to see a part of this! So creative. #csscafe #CSSDay . Very inspirational

Ahmad Shadeed speaking on stage at CSS Day in a large hall with high ceilings and classical architecture. A large slide behind him explains min-max-value interpolation in CSS using the clamp() function. The audience is seated and attentively watching the talk. Captions are displayed on a screen in the lower-right corner of the stage.

Two folded T-shirts lie side by side on a white surface — one teal, one light pink. Both shirts feature an embroidered version of the "lobotomized owl," a quirky character by accessibility advocate Heydon Pickering, with red star-shaped eyes and a stitched mouth. Scattered around are various colorful stickers: two bright pink ones with the text “CSS Café,” two white ones styled like CSS code that read “.sticker { position: fixed; }”, and several playful character stickers, including blue creatures, raindrops, and a spiky-haired pink face. There’s also a small roll of stickers in the corner. The scene conveys a fun, creative atmosphere with a strong web developer and accessibility culture vibe.

Getting ready for CSS Day, part 2! I’ll have some stickers and a few owl shirts with me — if you’re around and want one, come say hi.

Find me tomorrow. I’ll have some merch with me at the „church“.
