I’ve always been a bit chaotic. When I start a new project, I really (really!) try to stick to a process. A plan, a structure… something. But my brain often jumps from one idea to the next, a…

Luís de Camões, Portugal’s national poet, put it in a sixteenth-century sonnet: change is the one habit we never manage to form. My grandfather, who could barely read, put it in a joke.

A month of losses at home and a change of course at work, with a hard deadline in between. Notes on what was within my control and how I crossed it, even if the storm doesn’t look any smaller from this side.

My humble homage to an incredible story that recently came to an end.

I’m Spanish, so football was always present in my life, but I never became a fan. I understood its significance to those around me, as it was more than just a game; it represented tradition, loyalt…

I came to Shakespeare late. This year I read six of his plays from a secondhand Italian-English collection, and designed a new AI cover for each to illustrate my reviews.

In 1947, Black Narcissus put its leading man in shorts and sandals on a tiny pony and lost nothing for it. In 2026, The Odyssey wraps the Mediterranean in gray and drapery. Somewhere between the two, Hollywood decided sunlight isn’t epic.

There is one thumbs-up for Nolan at the end of this review. First, the thumbs-down: what happens when you retell a three-thousand-year-old poem and leave Homer out of it.

A match where only one side wanted to win. It took patience, effort, and composure to avoid being drawn into the fights the other side started. In the end, they succeeded: a team with no stars was brave enough to save football from near collapse.

FIFA and sports brands will tell you stars win trophies. Don't believe it—that's the big Football lie.

We’re excited to announce our first round of speakers who will be presenting at WordCamp US 2026 in Phoenix in August! Their sessions look at AI’s growing role in WordPress work: structuring …

Two years ago, building a professional WordPress theme meant bouncing between design tools, code editors, and the browser. But in 2025, we built Crafted—a complete, production-ready theme—almost en…

Red cards can be harsh, soft, or even incorrect, and the game accepts them all because the punishment is blind. What happened at the 2026 World Cup is something else: a rule manipulated for power, overturning sixty years of automatic decisions with a single phone call.

STOP ME if you’ve heard this one: The members of an extended family spend years curating a shared online photo album. Then the website they posted on vanishes, flushing their collective memories away ...

The team that scores more wins, so the goal is football’s highest unit. The only thing that can exceed it is the wit that produces many—Pelé showed this most clearly in a goal he never scored.

Not every redesign should make a site feel simpler. Some brands need their complexity because that is where the knowledge, stories, and character live. Rodeo Adventure Labs was one of those project…

Football is the rare big game that never stops its clock, allowing momentum to build until halftime interrupts it. This summer, it is pausing once more in each half—and I wonder whether the stated reason is exactly the real one.

Just as an apprentice watches the master for years before touching the material, I learned football by watching long before my feet caught up. This is that life, measured in waking hours—on the pitch and in front of the screen.

On the pitch, you pass the ball to whoever is best positioned. Everything else about them is irrelevant. What if we lived that way?

The moment the ball begins to roll, all of it falls away—the greed, the unwelcoming host, the hatred. What's left is stronger, and will outlive every sin of the men who run the game.

Tritones is live on Figma Community. What started as a WordPress proof of concept and became a Gutenberg PR is now a free Figma plugin—designers can preview the effect before shipping it.

The Block Editor Handbook has 200+ pages of documentation that quietly drift from the code they describe. Here's how I built a tool that compares each handbook page against the Gutenberg source, surfaces evidence-backed drift findings, and publishes a static health dashboard — and what a month of building it in the open taught me about working with AI agents.

Holding tight, letting slip: A week with Claude Code suggested that an old Greek word fits this new creative work better than productivity.
