Sometimes a piece of music will just perfectly encapsulate a moment in my life. I like to not let those pass. I’ve been wanting to sing this one for a while, but tonight felt like the right night for it. Props to Coldplay for making one of the best damn songs in the universe. https://dl.dropbox.com/s/javcoknxx5ingap/Viva%20La%20Vida.mp3

I very much agree with @yatil here. There simply is no reason why a very common design pattern like a toolbar container should not be part of HTML, and browsers implement the proper keyboard interaction. Or why on Earth HTML still doesn’t have rich list box items or tree views / tree tables.

Because both many web developers and browsers still let blind people down regularly, JAWS still wants access to the full HTML in modern browsers so they can fix up most common errors, and even allow script authors to more finely tune the experience if they want to. For other purposes, GreaseMonkey and custom scripts for web sites to improve the accessibility are quite common in some circles. Basically, right now, the burden for a better accessible web lies on the screen readers and tech savvy blind coders who are able to script web sites via GreaseMonkey to improve the experience. JAWS has done this since 1999. And they’re not going to stop anytime soon.

I bought the girls a Goodie Box from Chewy and it came today. One of the toys is a stuffed grassy hill and in the hill there are 2 holes and there are stuffed squeaky bunnies inside the stuffed grassy hill and the goal is to pull the bunnies out of the hill! Here is Callisto trying to figure it out! #DogsOfMastodon

To meet corporate sustainability goals, I have disabled garbage collection for all applications.

Developers will now have to reduce, reuse, and recycle memory.

for the love of all that is holy, tech companies, if you have a blog provide a way to stay up to date with your content with RSS.
It’s cheap, it’s easy, it’s universal.
I will not come back to your blog every week to figure out if you have posted something new.
I also don’t want the 100th newsletter.
