A new rope sequence I’m working on! The goal of the sequences to show different ways in which small bits of momentum can be used during movement! I’m going to be teaching it in an upcoming workshop series in San Carlos. Really excited to be teaching again. #circus
I often hear "let's wait til we hear from users" as a way of deferring #accessibility work from a new feature. This is not ok. It puts the burden on the user to tell you how the feature should work for them rather than starting from the assumption that all features should work fully for everyone from the beginning. It also signals to people who rely on accessibility that #a11y was considered secondarily. A11y isn't part of the feature for all users; rather, it IS the feature for some users.
This has been, already, a powerful #WWDC23 for me. Seeing the work from #accessibility in the SoTU definitely got me to tear up. As we move into a world with a new and deeply visual platform, Apple is once again pushing the industry forward by prioritizing its accessibility.
In the dev community we talk a lot about Large Text & VoiceOver when it comes to #accessibility. But there is so much more! This article beautifully shares stories about how apps can empower other aspects of people’s lives such as communication. #GAADhttps://apps.apple.com/us/story/id1679594697
Me when I have friends over for dinner: “so we’ll start with this charcuterie plate and some cocktails and then we’ll have some seared tuna with seasoned quinoa and mixed roasted veggies. That’ll pair great with this wine! And for dessert I’ve made a homemade apple tart!”
Me on my own for dinner: “so we put the spoon in the jar of peanut butter and we dig”
The busses here in Bergen, Norway have usb ports and seatbelts, are seemingly used by everyone, are spotlessly clean, and most run every 10 min or less. Reason #323 that I will not be coming back to the USA 😝 someone plz ship me Smalltalk 🐱
I think I experienced more stress trying to have a "good" work-life balance than realizing and accepting that I like working a lot and doing a lot outside of work and yes that means I'm busy all the time, and yes that is actually OK as long as I'm OK with it.
