Lots of bank holidays here in May and beginning of June. Lots of family time. Back in business soon. Also writing my talk for „Head in the Cloud“. But if you want to grab your 2027 Düsseldorf tickets early and cheaper, keep an eye on our newsletter: btco.nf/news

It was a pleasure to talk with @marcthiele.com on the @beyondtellerrand.com podcast beyondtellerrand.com/blog/podcast... We recorded quite a lot earlier this year and man, I can see how dejected I was and because of that, I didn't hold back on the industry. Let's just say that…

Next #btconf Düsseldorf video is online: Marjan van Aubel and "Solar Futures”. I have written about it here and you find the video either in this post or in our YouTube channel. beyondtellerrand.com/blog/btconf-...

Next #btconf Düsseldorf video is up. @html5test.com with his talk "The Web Beyond the Edges of the Browser Window". Here is a little blog post about it. Thanks Niels ;) beyondtellerrand.com/blog/btconf-...

You better be quick, of you want to join!

I was about to do a recap post for the London leg of the book tour, then realised I hadn't yet posted the Düsseldorf one! I'm so grateful to @marcthiele.com for letting me tag the tour onto @beyondtellerrand.com, Amy for handling payments, and @charismagic.bsky.social, who took most of the photos.

Next #btconf Düsseldorf video dropping in. This is @andremichelle.bsky.social talking about Flash audio hacks and starting over with openDAW. A lovely story about perseverance, open source and why good ideas are worth being built and worked on in the end. beyondtellerrand.com/blog/btconf-...

A late addition to our YouTube channel: Jared Ficklin and his #btconf Berlin 2026 talk “Art in Dusty Places”. beyondtellerrand.com/blog/btconf-...

“The last days of social media might be the first days of something more human: a web that remembers why we came online in the first place — not to be harvested but to be heard, not to go viral but to find our people, not to scroll but to connect.” – yes, please. www.noemamag.com/the-last-day...

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

Yesterday: tech setup for #acs26 in Würzburg. Today: first day of running it. If you are here, come to say hi ;)

Two days to go. Who's joining us? What a line-up we've got in store 👀 heypresents.com/conferences/...

"The Tellerrandomizer" – How a single Instagram post and a coffee turned into the Tellerrandomizer and why @saschafrommars.bsky.social deserves a proper thank-you. beyondtellerrand.com/blog/the-tel...

I love the Telekom. That happens if I click “Widerspruch” (means: objection) to not get their advertising emails …

This happens if you invite @andremichelle.bsky.social to #btconf and he wants to live-demo #openDAW … (attention: includes @bastianallgeier.com rocking the stage) … www.instagram.com/reel/DX8-VL7...

I asked attendees of #btconf, which social they use. Multiple answers where possible. Of those who answered (387) it looks like this.

If you still don't have a ticket for @beyondtellerrand.com in Düsseldorf, get a move on. It's one of the best tech conferences: always a great schedule, always a great atmosphere. I'm so gutted I'm not able to make it this time. The FOMO has already started. 😭 beyondtellerrand.com/events/dusse...
