March Edition: Hello from the new place!
Hey there!
If you see this, you're with me on the new newsletter platform, Curated. Scheduling is much easier to do, and the bugs with saving drafts were driving me up the wall so here I am, and here you are. New name, same newsletter. Pitter patter!
Accessibility
Over the years, I have had the age-old battle of, "should it be a button or should it be a link?" and this article by Martin Underhill (@tempertemper) which references Eric Eggert's article which is in itself an excellent article. Both clearly explain the differences.
SInce taking the initiative to move from web/digital accessibility to mobile app development, I found this great newsletter from Robin Kanatzer chock full of good stuff. Accessibility and mobile apps!
Conferences
I'll be in the following cities speaking at a venue near you!
- Orlando Code Camp, Orlando, FL. March 25
- Devnexus, Atlanta, GA. April 4-6
Plugs
I need to plug these Twitch streamers just because they are terrific people if you're on Twitch:
Lobsters! 🦞
Yes! It is back! The lobster content!
Boiling Live Lobster
Boiling lobster is the certainly easiest way to cook lobster and a great way to enjoy the flavor of a fresh live lobster. The meat of a boiled lobster also pulls easily from the shell when cracked, making boiling an especially easy way to eat — as well as to cook — a fresh lobster. Steaming lobster can result in somewhat more tender meat, though, so if you have the equipment (a steamer pot, or even just a rack that sits inside your large pot) you might consider steaming as well.
It is best to boil a fresh lobster in seawater, but if that is not available, salted water works just fine; just add about two tablespoons of sea salt for each quart of water.
The pot for boiling lobster should be large enough to completely submerge the lobster in the water.
Bring the water to a full, rolling boil, and then place the lobster claws first into the water. Cover the pot, and when the water begins to boil again, begin timing.
Cooking times for boiled lobster:
- 1 pound lobster – boil 9 minutes
- 1-1/4 pound lobster – boil 10 minutes
- 1-1/2 pound lobster – boil 11 minutes
- 1-3/4 pound lobster – boil 12 minutes
- 2 pound lobster – boil 13-15 minutes
- 2-1/2 pound lobster – boil 15-20 minutes
Finally...
As I start to get a regular schedule going, you can find me on Twitch streaming as well. Hope to see you there.
Have a great week and make accessible things!
