What's Happening
As I am writing this, I'm laid up with COVID. I can pinpoint when I got it so right now, I am almost out of the woods, but it still stinks having it. I let my guard down and I am paying for it through karma. Time to mask up again for this guy, but please be careful when you go out or travel.
As jobs are being cut throughout our industry, it is awful to see people being cut after some time at their role and having to move on. Hopefully, we can come out of this and people can find work again. If you're looking for work and reading this, check out the #TechIsHiring hashtag on Twitter. There are some leads there.
Enough of all that... pitter patter!
Accessibility
I don't have anything for the accessibility section as I have been out sick. But, never fear, I'll have more accessibility goodness in the next newsletter. I just haven't had the strength to do the research.
Conferences
Depending on whether or not I get accepted to the remaining conferences I have CFPs submitted to, these are the remaining appearances I have in 2023:
- MagnoliaJS, Jackson, MS. October 17-18
- ConnectTech, Atlanta, GA. October 24-26
CFPs are still out for these:
- Ioniconf
- Momentum
- Monktoberfest
- Web Directions
Plugs
The podcast, the stream are the two of mine I will plug. Homer and I are trying to get some more podcast episodes out, as we have two in the can and some appearances to record that have been scheduled soon.
Lobsters! 🦞
I wish I had some thing, but again, next time, next newsletter, I'll have another recipe (or two?).
Shoutout
To those who attended the accessibility workshop Homer & I held at KCDC, to those in attendance at my talk on Deceptive Patterns as well, thank you all! To the subscribers and all the folks, including my speaker/conference family who have supported me and continue to do so. I am grateful to have you all in my life, you're all awesome.
