News
Hey there!
A little bit happening here and I hope you are all doing well in your neck of the woods. This one will be a short one, so... pitter patter!
Accessibility
I've written an article about my inevitable move out of accessibility. Not fully, I will always advocate for accessibility and for disabled people, but it's time to move away from being very involved in it as I am. You can read the article here.
It's a move that I feel good in the decision and a move that is a long time coming. There are a few factors that have been thrown in the equation, but the biggest one is the exhaustion and the burn out.
50.1% empty links is a terrific article from Manuel Matuzović about how over half the websites in the WebAIM Million Report contained empty links. It's a great read, please give it a read.
Conferences
I'll be in the following cities speaking at a venue near you!
- KCDC, Kansas City, MO. June 21-23
Plugs
I don't have much to plug this month. My stuff is on hiatus, the podcast has been delayed because of things personally with me and we're working to get the last interview episode out as soon as possible. There is another one in the can, but that will be later down the road.
Lobsters! 🦞
If you're ever finding yourself hungry for lobsters and you like to eat them but you can't or don't have access to them, you can go through who I go through here and order them. They get to you overnight (two or three days if ordered on the weekend) just like getting it off the boat. I highly recommend them and I am not sponsored by them.
Goals for 2023
- Developer Relations or Developer Experience job.
- Start testing my lobster roll finder app.
- More podcasting.
- Ready myself for a busy 2024 and speaking at conferences.
Finally...
I haven't streamed for a hot second, but will get back to it soon after I take care of some business. As I start to get a regular schedule going, you can find me on Twitch streaming as well. Hope to see you there.
