Been silent in December and busy in the months before. But still reading RSS and here. Thanks for a good 2025 and on to an even better 2026. Let create and share!

So much value (well, for me at least) in Rick Beato's latest video. marcthiele.com/notes/rick-i...

Loved this conversation with @marcthiele.com and @bradfrost.com beyondtellerrand.com/blog/brad-fr...

This is just one of the many wise things @marcthiele.com shares in our conversation on Wake Up Excited! podcast: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... I'd love it if you check out and subscribe to my podcast! wakeupexcited.show

I absolutely love @marcthiele.com's powerful advice for staying connected with the people in your life. Whenever you think about someone, build a habit of grabbing your phone and contacting them. Our time together is finite. www.youtube.com/shorts/Ju45_...

:eyes: 2026.stateofthebrowser.com/speakers/ Only 1 more speaker to announce. **Online** as well as **In-person** **Diversity tickets** available too, for under-represented groups, those affected by cost of living and those new to our industry or learning. Please share far and wide.

Alright, first wrap up of the year. It's been a stellar year at @piccalil.li. We've published *so much* and introduced so many great things. I wanted to reflect on that and let you know what's coming up in 2026. A massive thank you to everyone who has supported us this year 💛

If you enjoy the show, I’d appreciate it if you subscribe and spread the word! podcast.wakeupexcited.show/subscribe

On the latest episode of Wake Up Excited! , I talk with my good friend @marcthiele.com: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqKY... Marc is the organizer of the @beyondtellerrand.com conference that happens every year in Germany. It should be on every creative person’s bucket list.

@bradfrost.com and I chat on Brad's "Wake Up Excited" about creativity, authenticity, and community. Honest reflections, laughs, and insights from what we do and why staying true to yourself still matters. ;) Hope you like it. beyondtellerrand.com/blog/brad-fr...

Next video of of #btconf Berlin comes later today. At an event this morning and birthday of a good friend yesterday. But hey, here are sooo many great talks in case you need your fix ;) beyondtellerrand.com/talks

This little video captures the spirit of the two days at #btconf Berlin beautifully. Watching it brings back so many warm memories. The buzzing foyer, the laughs, the talks, the music, the spontaneous chats that turned into new friendships. Wonderful. ☺️ youtu.be/xUAl5EGfVlM

Anyway, that was the last ever run of the talk and I'm now taking a year or so off from speaking (done way too much this year). The talk was all based off the principles module on my course, which you can read for free: piccalil.li/complete-css... It's also still only £189 until December 9 too!

I think this was the best run of this talk because I had a nice long slot to deliver it. The crowd at beyond tellerand were incredible, with perfect vibes. Marc's team are *so good* at what they do too. Sure I was extremely nervous (it's bt conf!!!) but man, I walked off stage feeling invincible.

Next #btconf Berlin 2025 video is here. This time with the wonderful @belldotbz and his talk “Get the Core Right and the Resilient Code Will Follow”. Full transcript on our website … youtu.be/a7sh-5UYnJc

Well … if I could have a wish for Christmas … how about joining the “Friends of beyond tellerrand”? Be part of #btconf and make it independent. 🤘 beyondtellerrand.com/friends-of-bt 🙏 Thank you!

#btconf continues to be one of my favorite conferences. Every time I go I meet wonderful people and leave inspired. I love the push to make it independent!

This was an instant support moment for me when it started even before I’d been to bt conf. These events are the soul of what we do and we should do everything to protect and support them.

(1/3) I would like to take this opportunity to make it very clear once again that I will not tolerate or condone any sexist, racist or otherwise derogatory or disrespectful comments or behaviour towards another person at my event beyond tellerrand.

To proof what an absolute amateur I still am: I have not made any advertisement for the “Friends of @beyondtellerrand.com" program at all in Berlin hahaha 😆 … well you never stop learning, do you?
