Welcome to Golden Valley and the Regency Hospital
Jenn has been receiving fantastic care at the Mayo Clinic, but it’s always been clear that she can’t stay there forever. As such, I have been working with Mayo’s awesome social workers and care team to try and figure out the best next steps to support Jenn’s recovery. Ideally Jenn would be sent to a…

The 2025 Apple Event and my attempt to live blog from an accessibility perspective
In just a few minutes, the 2025 live Apple Event will begin. Will we see new iPhones? A new watch? other new Apple things? Generally, this is where all the shiny new Apple stuff is announced — at least most of it. I’m going to be watching it live and, as an experiment, am going…

Sad to see Blogging platform Typepad is shutting down after 22 years, giving customers about a month to migrate away
Over the weekend, I saw the following referenced in an Email newsletter: We have made the difficult decision to discontinue Typepad, effective September 30, 2025. What Does This Mean for You? After September 30, 2025, access to Typepad – including account management, blogs, and all associated content – will no longer be available. Your account and…
