Clearly I need to spend more time over at the mall. A new, rather fun sounding store opened there over the summer and this is the first I’m hearing of it.

It gets hard sometimes when you have to pay attention to the news, but no matter what, I always do my best to hold on to my belief that in spite of what feels like literally everything now, people are, over all, good and well-meaning. And while I’m sure that’s true of most of the …

Got an email this morning from our good friend Jason Dunkerley, whose name has come up here a time or two through the years and who is almost certainly involved in a few of the stories where names are missing. For several years he’s been working on and off at writing a book about his …
If you’ve got 10 or so minutes to burn and feel like sharing your experiences with various aspects of web accessibility, then today is your day, my friend. Put simply, this survey aims to collect data and insights from users around the world about who they are, what tech they use, how they use it, …
If you’re at the CSUN conference this week, you may not be reading this because looking at that schedule of events tells me that holy crap, there’s a lot going on down there. But if you have managed to find a couple minutes of free time to play around on the internet, allow me to …
