Now, gonna spend a couple days in Lauterbrunnen! 😃

It's been raining a lot in Grindelwald but I managed to make the best of the little bit of good weather!

Look at this beauty 😍🏔️

While I am on the road for #acs26 and doing post-event stuff for #btconf in parallel, I also started working on the videos. 🤪 Here is the first one with Kimya Gandhi and “The Act of Pressing a Key: The Journey of a Letterform on to Your Screen” youtu.be/jSBoXCsCyNI

Switzerland is absolutely gorgeous 😍

UpHill Conf has the best view 😍

And for #2, it’s absolutely true that AI can be fantastic learning tool, but it can only answer the questions that you know to ask. There’s a vast ocean of knowledge out there, and until you become an expert, it's hard to tell which parts are important (or true, for that matter 😅).

I love when I rehearse a new talk and I end up feeling super hyped by my own stuff 😂. Excited for Uphill conf next week!

I have an announcement! 🏫 I’ve just taken a handful of lessons from my new course and made them public, 100% free. You don’t even have to register for anything. 😄 I call it the Whimsical Animation Open House. The doors are open until the launch sale ends, early next week. ✨

One last thing before we go. Today, after 2+ (or 10+??) years of work, we’re launching XOXO Explore, a complete archive of all eight years of the festival. xoxofest.com

Let the post-conference blues begin. As always, @beyondtellerrand.com was awesome, I'm feeling super inspired by the talks I watched and the conversations I had! Can't wait for next year 💜

Incredible day-2 opener by André Michelle at #btconf, who condensed >25 years of building music software into his in-browser openDAW – a case for openness … and persistence. Including a 🤘 live performance by @bastianallgeier.com 🎸👏

Starting @beyondtellerrand.com with the one and only Tobi! 🙌🏻

Made it to Düsseldorf, went on a nice 15 miles run this morning and super excited for @beyondtellerrand.com tomorrow! 😃 #btconf

I wrote about why I quit my job, and how weird and tiring tech feels these days.

4 more days and another 4 reasons to come to #btconf next week 🧵 1. Creativity 2. Surprise 3. New friends 4. Perspective 27–28 April → beyondtellerrand.com/events/dusse...

I did it. I deleted Hinge 🚮 Meeting someone organically is definitely not gonna be any easier but that app really sucks.

✍️ Just finished another code drawing in my AI series, this one's about MCP in practice. Enjoy!

Made it to Tanzania 🇹🇿🎉

Let's go!!! 😃🗻🇹🇿🚶🏻‍♀️

Art using a HackRF, love it! youtu.be/moBCOEiqiPs?...

Spent a good chunk of the day volunteering at the Gardens of Lake Merritt in Oakland and I'm so glad I did. The weather was gorgeous and weeding was actually so calming 😌

Finding your people is hard. Especially if you're not sure they even exist. But don't ignore that feeling that you're out of place in your current circles. When you feel accepted and valued for being exactly who you are, those are your people. Keep looking.

Damn this DEF CON talk is wild youtu.be/cYZmRp90hss?...

Only 4 days off and I almost forgot the password to my work laptop 😅

Updated my old project to play a Street Fighter demo with body movements to use the Bangle.js watch! charliegerard.dev/blog/street-...

I ran my first half marathon on Saturday!! It was so hard 😫😅 I only started running this year and I used to think I couldn't run a 5k but I ended up running 2 5ks, 2 10ks and now a half marathon! 🤯 I'd like to try a full marathon next year but I really don't know how I could run for twice as long 💀

Yessssss: the-web-you-want.org

A new chapter begins! The all-new #btconf website is here. Fresh, friendly, and full of love. Huge thanks to @mikekus.bsky.social for the design and @bastianallgeier.com for all the work bringing it to life – with @getkirby.com of course! Feels great to finally share this one. beyondtellerrand.com

Just had my first drumming lesson and it was really fun!! Gonna make it a weekly thing so I'm curious to see what I'll be able to play in a year's time! 🥁👩🏻‍🎤

Loving the talks so far at the #webAI summit! It's giving me lots of new ideas for side projects! Now I just need to find the time... 😅

Thanks again @jsconf.bsky.social for having me, I had such a good time! Had great conversations that gave me new ideas and met some really cool people! 💜

This weekend I ran the Double Up challenge at the SF marathon so 5k on Saturday and 10k today, and I beat my PR in both races! 😃🎉 Who am I?? I actually find running fun now 😂

Trip update: we didn't end up climbing Mont Blanc because of bad weather but we did Gran Paradiso in Italy! It was more challenging than I expected but because there was also drama in our group, one person can really ruin the experience for everyone... 🫤 Still happy I did it though!

Just got back to SF and the border agent said "welcome home" 🥹

beyond tellerrand has always been more than a conference. It’s a creative, friendly community built on curiosity and connection. It’s a passion project with heart. If #btconf has ever sparked something in you, consider becoming a “Friend of beyond tellerrand.” beyondtellerrand.com/blog/friends...

Getting ready to climb the Mont Blanc! 😃🏔️ We're starting with a test climb of Gran Paradiso in Italy and if it goes well, we'll climb the Mont Blanc early next week! The weather forecast isn't good so I'm not super hopeful but if we're lucky, I'll be all the way up there at 4,806m (15,770ft)! 🤞🏻

I'm so used to speaking in English all the time that I keep forgetting that while in France I can just... speak French 🤦🏻‍♀️

Always love to watch Tobi (@baldower) make music live using samples from the previous speaker's talk! He's so good!

I love speaking at creative conferences but boy do I feel like an amateur next to the other amazing speakers 😅 Feeling very inspired by all the talks! bump-festival.be/2025/

I've been following Yehwan Song's work for a while so I'm so excited to see her speak live! Her projects are so awesome! yhsong.com
