Morning everybody, I guess we're doing Monday. Started the day off by having to ping my phone because I forgot where I laid it. On the other hand I'm off to a good start regarding my exercise and move goals so we're good. I hope everyone is having a good day.

Morning all. It's a nasty rainy day here, but I've totally crushed my move and exercise goals so I get to spend the rest of the day being relatively lazy except for my stand goal. I hope everyone's having a good day.

I did not complete all the chores I needed to. I blame lack of AI skills. Until I can hire more AI I will miss other deadlines. Thankfully I don’t need to take responsibility for any shit decisions I made in the past.

Can I be a tech CEO yet?

You guys, John outdid himself in the kitchen again and I'm pleasantly stuffed.

Morning everyone. It's Friday, and I've already gotten my exercise in for today. Also, nothing reminds me of why I hate Android quite like Peloton. I hope everyone's having a decent morning so far.

Afternoon all. I rode 7 miles in 45 minutes and my breakfast, morning snack, and lunch are just over 1000 calories. I think I've earned a beer during the baseball games tonight. I hope you all are having at least an acceptable Tuesday.

Afternoon everybody, we're a good way through Monday, at least work Monday.

Appreciate all the alternative text for images people are adding to their Mastodon posts.

And how folks are creating readable hashtags, by capitalizing the first letter of multi-word hashtags.

Makes it easier to know what’s in an image and to read the hashtag.

The one time I want my watch to die, and it won't. But let me be in the middle of a workout, or in the middle of something I need my watch for, and it dies. Go figure.

Morning everybody, Tuesday has arrived. Why are we doing Tuesday? We should skip it this week, or maybe skip Thursday in favor of an extra weekend day.

Love that so many toots from #btconf that have images also have image descriptions. Makes me feel more included even though I am not there in person. Thanks to all who put image descriptions in!

Welcome to new followers who are coming from Twitter, especially the blind ones. I think you'll enjoy your time here on Mastodon much more than you have on Twitter, but then I'm biased since I've been here since 2018. Ping me if you have any questions about how things tend to work around here, and of course make new friends. #TwitterMigration

I hadn’t realized just how much of the online #blind community had migrated from Twitter to Mastodon. That gives added oomph to the need to use #AltText on our images (as well as CamelCase on hashtags).

Why are we, in Gregorian year 2023, still having to vote on accessibility related issues with software as if making software more accessible is some sort of fucked up Hunger Games scenario?
