Suppose we take the Cycle Bus to drop us off somewhere in Europe, so we can go on a nice cycle tour from there. Where would we go? In any case, to a destination where it is not too hot in the summer. That really leaves only one option: Sweden. Our previous experience there, in 2018, was not so successful, but we still wanted to give the country a second chance. And it worked! A report of 14 days of cycling in south-west Sweden (in Dutch). https://2peoplecycling.com/blogs/zweden-in-de-herhaling-maar-dan-goed.php

Op vakantie zocht correspondent Emy Demkes naar onontdekte authentieke plekken, maar daar bleek de rest van Europa ook naar op weg. ⛰️

“The reason people say something like this is because it immediately invites solutionism. “It matters how you use it” is an intellectual half-gesture.”

Stop saying that AI is just a tool and it only matters how it is used

I’m tired of this phrase and this simple way of thinking about tools. This blog post is a wandering train of thought on the topic of what tools are and why it matters to be even slightly more mature in how we think about them.

Simeon ten Holt: Canto Ostinato - Ik Ben Aanwezig

Simeon ten Holt's masterpiece “Canto Ostinato” is one of the most influential and best-selling works of Dutch classical music. It is real minimal music, but compared to its predecessors, it is less mechanical and much more romantic. Some even thi

Having your own website is not going to fix democracy, or topple the online pillars of capitalism - but it's making a political statement nonetheless. It says "I want to carve my own space on the web, away from the corporations". I think this is a radical act. It was when I originally said this in 2022, and I mean it even more today.

I have been laid off due to organizational restructuring for efficiency.

If you need a UX Writer or an #accessibility specialist (8+ years of fulltime experience in the latter) or have leads to that end, let me know. Especially as I need to sort out ability to pay my mortgage etc. Ideally remote/WFH from the US, as I am a citizen; but if you have leads in the EU please let me know.
