If you’re waiting to add accessibility to your projects until your clients ask and pay for it, please rethink your strategy. Accessibility is not a feature. It is not a nice to have. It’s harder to do when you bolt it on after the fact instead of building it in at the start, and the only thing you’re doing with this approach is creating more work for yourself, more hardship for your clients, and a shitty experience for people with disabilities. Please do not do this. Add as much aas you can by stealth if you have to. If your client asks you for some functionality, build the accessibility in without their permission if necessary. If the eclient balks at accessibility, (this does happen), walk away. I’m telling you to do that because I’ve done it myself. I promise you that if they’re balking at accessibility there’s a pretty safe bet they’ll balk at other best practices too, and then blame you when things go south because best practice corners were cut.

Guess who starved their Apple Watch to death during a workout today? That’s right kids, me! So I had to charge it in order to get my last couple of stands and my last two workouts in in order to achieve my 600 points for my Apple Watch competitions. I had most of it knocked out by 10 o’clock this morning though. I will probably do the same thing again tomorrow.

Yesterday I really struggled to both achieve my exercise goals and earn the six hundred points for my Apple Watch competitions. Today I am struggling with these as well. I have been under the weather this weekend plus going balls to the wall for the last sixteen days at least so after these competitions are over on Wednesday I am going to work just hard enough to close all the rings on my watch and that’s it for at least a week. It was 69 degrees here yesterday and I had all the windows open and it was great. Today it’s 39F and it’s supposed to drop from there so for today only the kitchen window is open.

Just a quick test. I attempted to publish a post using my phone on Friday, but apparently it did not publish. There was some router configuration going on at the time, so it’s very possible but it did not post because I was writing it at the same time the configuration was happening. Better luck this time, I suppose.

Just a quick test after re-entering my information for my website into Icro’s WordPress posting set up. For some reason, posting to WordPress stopped working, and I’m trying to troubleshoot what the problem is. In other news, I managed to complete 30 minutes on the bike, and will likely make my 600 points for today.

I managed to get in 30 minutes on the bike today. It looks like I will actually make my 600 points, and will be on track for my challenges this week. I am definitely looking forward to my planned break from challenges though. Also, the Minnesota Twins apparently think they are playing a football game instead of a baseball game, because they are beating the ever living crap out of Indians like it’s going out of style. Oh well, better luck next time, Indians.
