A simple weekend in b&w.

When you strip color out of a photo, you lose the easy stuff. No warm tones to save a flat composition. No contrast between a red wall and a green plant to make things interesting. What you have left is light, shapes, and lines. That's it. And that's exactly why shooting in black and white is one of the best exercises when you're learning.

People’s Park

When I travel to a new place, I always do two things. First, I make a list of weird and exotic food I must try. Second, I check Atlas Obscura to find off-the-beaten-path spots. And voilà. Thanks to it, I found one of the best places to photograph in Singapore: the People’s Park Complex.

2025

As we get closer to midnight, I’ve realized something: I’m a bit annoyed with myself for ending the year with this: So much happened in 2025! And yet, somehow, I spent an indecent amount of time redesigning my site—even creating my own Unkai theme—instead of doing the most important part: actually blogging. The irony is that life was full.

This is not your typical “What to do in Verona in one day” guide but rather a peek at how we passed the time strolling around this ancient city, which to my amazement has a smaller population than Valladolid.

One day in Verona

As it’s tradition, every year we head to South Tyrol for the Bronners gathering, but this time we did something different—a pit stop in Verona. The home of Romeo and Juliet. 🥀 This is not you…

Re-discovering Amsterdam

I first visited Amsterdam in 2007 during a multi-stop trip between Belgium and the Netherlands. Coming from sunny Barcelona, the city felt dull. I vividly remember how gray everything was. I had not experienced Northern Europe much then, so I was unfamiliar with humid weather, damp streets, and gray cobblestones (a few years living in Ireland changed that). But I recently visited again.

Jakob Nielsen thinks accessibility has failed.

Jakob Nielsen thinks that generative AI will make my experience better.

I think Nielsen needs to think again.

Friends! I’m looking for my next role after nearly three years at Stately. I’m a UX designer who is just as comfortable in front-end development. I also love writing, giving talks, and making videos, so I’m up for dev and design advocacy roles, too.

If I sound like someone you want on your team, please give me a shout!

The "Web Content #Accessibility Guidelines" (#WCAG), summarized in simple language.

Just looking at the table-of-contents tree reminds me of how many things I keep forgetting. 😳

Excellent resource by #Stark (they don't seem to have a #Fediverse presence)

Penguins 🐧

Bloganuary writing prompt What is your favorite animal? View all responses There's no specific explanation to why. I just simply love them. Some random facts I know from Penguins 🐧: They are adorable, super fast swimmers, they are very social, they help each other taking care of the babies (like in a communal society) and they walk very funny 💜
