  • Checked in at Panda Express. They have the very best teriyaki chicken.

  • Checked in at SportClips. Attending YNAB Fest tomorrow so certainly have to look my best. :)

  • Oh my gosh, can it really be? Is WhatsApp finally really available on the iPad? Looks like it is. From the latest “What’s new” section from the app store:

    • WhatsApp is now officially available on iPad. Supports features such as Stage Manager, Split View and Slide Over. To get started, go to the App Store on your iPad. • You can now start voice chats in all groups to connect live over audio without ringing. Swipe up and hold in a group to get started. • You can now select and copy parts of a message. To get started, long press any message and select to highlight text.These features will roll out over the coming weeks. Thanks for using WhatsApp!

  • Checked in at Park Nicollet Clinic Bloomington

  • Checked in at OfficeMax. Finally, a desk found. And on sale even. How I’ll get it into the house I do not know, one problem at a time.

  • Checked in at IKEA. Oh my gosh I survived! I always feel so accomplished every time I manage to escape this place. Sadly, I still have no desk.

  • Checked in at Costco Food Court

  • Checked in at Sonic Drive-In. If you haven’t had their Garlic Butter Bacon Cheese Burger, you haven’t truly lived life. It’s going to take me forever to work this off.

  • Well I can rule one Mac launcher out: RayCast has lots of unlabeled buttons and other accessibility issues. Very unfortunate as that’s one I’ve seen mentioned a lot recently. If anyone knows a developer at RayCast, I’d love to be in contact as these are issues that might not be hard to fix.

  • Alfred, LaunchBar, Raycast, how is it I’ve never looked into Mac launchers before? Anyone have a favorite they’d recommend, why?

  • Checked in at Regions Hospital

  • I encounter so many inaccessible apps developed with Electron and I wonder why: Are developers limited in what they can do compared to the web? Is there automated testing that could be done, but generally isn’t? Does Electron just suck? I thought maybe it’s my choice of apps, but I’m talking about numerous apps from numerous developers, so I don’t think it’s just me, not unless I’m just really good at picking apps with poor accessibility. Ultimately, I’d like to know what advice – helpful advice – I can give to a developer if I’m told their app is built with Electron because basic web remediation advice, like labeling controls, seems to be a struggle and a half for them to implement and I’m just getting so so tired of it.

  • How many people hear about an app, get excited about the app, download the app, forget all about the app…and then, months later, get surprised to find such an awesome app in their apps list? Totally asking for a friend. ;)

  • I know it doesn’t have the same multi-modal features of Gemini and ChatGPT, but I really love using Claude for help with most tasks. Claude provides explanations such that I always come away feeling like I’ve learned something new in addition to getting something done.

  • It’s been a while since I installed Firefox on my Mac or iOS device, curious to see what has changed in terms of accessibility since I last used it.

  • Checked in at Minneapolis Convention Center Auditorium. Here for Gabby’s graduation. We’re very proud, but it’s going to be a long time before we get to the “S” section.

  • Checked in at Minneapolis Community & Technical College. Here for Gabby’s pinning ceremony, we’re so proud out her.
