Deer tech press and pundit friends. I’m glad to see more people writing or talking about accessibility. Just a friendly reminder though, that it’s not actually about YOU.

Great read on this #GAAD. Socks, lies, and accessibility https://janmaarten.com/gaad-2023/

Power bricks have far more utility (and yes, more plastic) than stickers, but we were told to get over losing the bricks in iPhone boxes. Now, the pundit class has a collective sad over stickers. Deal with it, boys.

Oh, the LinkedIn mailbox. I’m learning what people I don’t know wanted to talk to me about six months ago.

My calendar for May 7 now says “Apple Event” followed by “work fun day.” The latter is a reward for so many recent projects. Dunno if I can handle so much fun on a Tuesday.

I’ve said before that I believe everyone has at LEAST one TV show from childhood that explains them – offers a philosophy of life, tugs at an unmet need, illustrates an ideal world.

Now I’m extending that theory to show rewatches: which 70s or 80s crime drama/melodrama/police procedural/whatever offer comfort in the present? What does the weird old show you’re watching right now say about your mood, or how you feel about your place in the world?

This has to make sense to a few of you!

@yatil Howdy. Quick web accessibility question for you. I'm asked to “rule" on accessibility of a lot of pages containing forms. I use the online tools, I do my best, but I'm wondering if you know of good tutorials for non-#a11y pros about making sure that web forms with boxes, menus, buttons and the like are behaving themselves.

Listening to Apple’s Sarah Herrlinger on the feature stage at #SXSW. The words “AI” and “accessibility” now appear in the same Apple-approved sentences.

I’m getting a kick out of seeing Apple rumors that involve accessibility. These are the milestones we need, friends. #a11y

I wrote way back last June that Apple’s Vision Pro could be an amazing platform for physical/motor #a11y. See?

Vision Pro accessibility from a low-vision perspective. https://relayfm.social/@parallel/111926219162038531

A request for folks posting Vision Pro pics today and going forward. Please don’t forget the alt text, whether you’re posting grip and grin shots, screenshots or your head adorned with future-goggles. Thanks! #a11y

It’s been a GOOD MORNING

Confession: the stuff I save with read later apps? I almost always read it later. I’m a damn weirdo, apparently.

Thank you new friends for getting me to 1000 followers. I’ll do my best to be interesting . Or I’ll fall back on #caturday cuteness.

Poll for people that use a laptop and at least 1 external display.

I’m sorry my friends @jsnell and @imyke felt the need to explain why Apple compares new chips/Macs to Intel. In the academic/corporate world, lots of peeps are on four -year or more Upgrade cycles. These compares are like the promise of free food in the break room to some of us.

Intel MBP has crashed twice this morning. It feels its eminent replacement, and has chosen violence.
