Cool And Interesting Stuff I Saw Or Read

Kuschelbock

Discovered via tante's (whose writing is a recommendation as well) comment section. Music blog with a twist I would call it. It's in german though, not sure if the humour and style translates in a good enough way if you are not advanced in the language. Ich bin noch nicht komplett firm in seinem Werk, aber der Bock hat mich schon jetzt sehr gut unterhalten.

x86 CPU made in CSS

Lyra Bane built a program fully executed within CSS! Absolutely crazy and incredibly cool.

The Web is Fantastic Actually

Even with all the mechanisms of the corporate web that leaves people drained and turned off, Robert Kingett elaborates how the web is (or at least can be) in fact great. There still are great places to discover, to learn new things, to exchange ideas. You can find some excellent places provided by the author if you are curious about the indieWeb.

Progressive Enhancement

UK Gov's very thorough guide for building solid frontends following progressive enhancement practices. Especially when providing services that need to be available to everyone, it should go without further explanation that the accessiblity of those must not be tied to purchasing high-end devices.

Angela Collier

Youtube Channel of theoretical physicist Angela Collier. She takes on a variety of topics in the realm of physics and science in general in a very entertaining way. Some videos are hands on guides on how to take on a physics problem, others, as some about rather absurd fads and opinions out there, are nice to maybe shake your head and share a laugh about.

Midlife Engineering

Discovered via Piccalilli's Index. A tool to create ambient soundscapes, it's fun to play around with the different modes.

Messenger

A beautiful browser game and a web experience, which deserves the name, made by abeto.co. Everything from design, music, wording to development is absolutely stunning. Besides, they did a great job performance-wise. Strolling through this virtual town delights me every time.

Ky Decker

The personal website of Ky Decker, a design engineer. You will find interesting articles to browse through, a cool nostalgic guestbook feature and a virtual piano on their homepage.

MTV Rewind

For everyone, who still remembers the days when MTV was playing music videos all day, this place should be a real treasure. Kudos for such a cool idea. High chances this site will pull me in and get me stuck there for hours at a time.

Piccalilli

When it comes to reading high quality articles on web development this is one of my favorite places to go. Their approach is super fun and their writing is great. Most of the time, you can get something out of it (almost) regardless of your current level of knowledge. There is so much love to the craft and attention to detail in everything published. Consider me a fan.
