  • The current temperature is -11.2°F (-24°C), but it feels like -29.2°F (-34°C).

  • The current temperature is -2.2°F, but it feels like -14.8°F.

  • This is not good for me at all. :( Production of Excedrin Migraine Discontinued Until Further Notice - American Migraine Foundation

  • One of Wayfair’s customers has accidentally added my mobile number to their account, so I always get text confirmations whenever they have a shipment on the way. And I admit, I always get a little excited for them. To whoever this mystery person may be, your curtains are arriving today, may they bring you much joy and happiness. 🙂

  • I am listening to Apple Music’s “new music mix music for Steve”. It is very clear that Apple Music really doesn’t know me at all.

  • I’m not sure if the shocks in this Uber I’m in are shot or what, but this ride is so bumpy that my phone has twice asked if I want to undo my last action. Lol.

  • Just finished scrolling through my FaceBook timeline without seeing even one mention of accessibility and this has me feeling great! I can’t help wondering though just how burned out I really am. Don’t get me wrong, I love my job and I love the field I’m in, but for me, accessibility is such a large part of my life. I don’t get to stop doing it or thinking about it or being affected by it. Generally speaking, I can’t unplug from it or take a vacation from it and sometimes, that’s just crushingly overwhelming.

  • I love trying foods from other natienalities, but I always forget what I like and what I don’t like. Anyone else struggle with this? There should be an app for that, maybe I should take better food review notes somewhere.

  • I’m so proud that my daughter, Gabby, is continuing to do this, please consider donating as it makes a real difference. | Gabby’s Gifts, 2019 https://www.gofundme.com/f/gabby039s-gifts-2019?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet #GivingTuesday

  • So, has anyone found any great Cyber Monday deals they’re excited about? I’m not looking for anything in particular, just curious what people may have found.

  • So today, I’m trying to familiarize myself with GitHub beyond just logging issues. This is actually more fun and interesting than I thought. If anyone has any accessibility tips/tricks, I’m definitely interested.

  • This may seem like no big deal, until you’re the person that’s constantly feeling left out of these. Researchers Are Making Memes Accessible to the Blind

  • Mac users, is there an easy way to share the title of a web page with its link, similar to how it would be shared on iOS, with 3RD party apps? Copying the link doesn’t give me title or preview, many 3RD party apps don’t show up as a sharing option.

  • I’m writing an article on the subject, but as a blind guy, I’m getting really really tired of people speaking for me. If you do accessibility or UX and really want to know what I want, or “need”, or what works best for me, then ask me.

  • Interesting, creepy but interesting. Some Plants Can Hear When They’re Being Eaten and They Fight Back

  • Having just gone through my Emails, I find it amazing how much Email I actually get and how little I actually need.

  • There is nothing quite like writing a lengthy post to Support only to find that the issue was user error all along. Had I not tried to write such a detailed post, I probably would not have figured it out. Yay for self-discovery and for realizing my mistake before hitting send and feeling stupid. :)

  • Still reading, but absolutely loving these tutorials from @custom. How to customise Micro.Blog

  • I’ve been to Maryland a few times, but I’ve never had any of their famous crab. Since I’m at the airport, I figured I would change that. :-)

  • DRIVER is telling me that he prefers driving for Lyft because Lyft discloses where the passenger is going before the pickup, Uber apparently does not. I always love getting the driver’s perspective. :)

  • I’m in Baltimore heading to Richfield, MN. My Uber Driver’s wife … is from Richfield, MN. #SmallWorld.

  • i’m in Baltimore heading back to Richfield, MN. My Uber driver’s wife… is from Richfield, MN. #SmallWorld.

  • It’s not even 7 AM yet and I’ve already gotten trapped in a hotel bathroom, warped door, and spilled a bottle of water … directly into my shoe. Oh the probabilities. :) #winning
