Just reminded myself of randoma11y.com Now you're reminded of / introduced to it too!

Good. Not that I think Disney needs the money, but finally some big guns are on it.

UPDATE! Especially looking for trans men (already have lots of gorgeous trans women) 😍

After a bit of travelling and work on Berlin's edition, I am back with more videos of #btconf Düsseldorf. Here is @jamfactory.bsky.social and "Less Thinkering More Tinkering". youtu.be/YmTNxGwdnIo

'few in the field seem to have ever had that “oh my, I can’t always trust my own judgement and reasoning” moment' At age ~19 I read a couple of articles with opposing views, and what appeared to be strong arguments. Both brought me round to their viewpoint. All it can take is persuasive writing.

no, i don’t want a summary i want to read the words from your bulging frontal lobe you typed carefully with your weary hands i want to know your context, what’s inside of you, illuminated further by your considered choice of adjectives i will never want a summary for you cannot be summarised

The last two "big" announcements from Silicon Valley: 1) Figma sites: inaccessible mess 2) Apple Liquid Glass: inaccessible mess I can't actually remember the last time Silicon Valley came up with something that was actually good.

"I’m labelled an HTML guru, a CSS pioneer. A JavaScript Rockstar. TypeScript wishes it was half as dependable as my code" I first wrote this satire in 2011, then updated one or two references when I published it last year. It amuses me how it seems to be evergreen

Adding a new ALT: A young man with brown skin wearing a surgical mask is popping a wheelie on his pedal bike, as he rides past two violently burning cars giving off lots of smoke.

@goodenough.us has letsjelly.com - covering emails, not office apps. I imagine it has no AI plans..?

Relevant to lots of fellow personal website building friends who have wished many times for HTML includes:

Happy Birthday TBL! @timbl.bsky.social

I think I've mostly fixed up RSS Joy again - after it's clearly been broken a little while! rs.sjoy.lol I've not coded it very robustly I suppose - it falls over if it takes too long for an RSS feed to respond, on build. Never mind! Please enjoy a nice list of lots of good web dev blog posts :)

Without downloading any new pics, where are you mentally

Have improved this page now with links to old talks, too :)

🖼️ My #CSSDay slides and all the links are up on talks.hiddedevries.nl/3do3c4/displ... humbled by all the friendly responses to this, it felt like there was real appetite for people to make their sites greener. I love to see it!

I'm embarrassed that my latest slides are inaccessible. What am I bloody giving talks about? ACCESSIBILITY 🤦 Please find my Whimsica11y slides here, two similar versions from State of the Browser and WeAreDevelopers Accessibility & AI Day - with links to accessible versions: slides.sarajoy.dev

It's a milestone issue of The Index. We've made it to #100 and we're going stronger than ever 🎉
