Hey there!

You’re probably thinking, “Wait… didn’t he already send an email out?” Yes. Yes, I did. BUT there is an update that I wanted to send out for some clarification.

Conferences

I’ll be in Atlanta in April, from the 4th through the 6th for DevNexus but I will NOT be giving an Accessibility Auditing workshop! I will be giving my Deceptive Patterns talk instead. I had gotten mixed up and thought I had been selected to do a workshop, so my bad. I am doing a 1-hour session. More info to come when that is available.

Hey there!

Another short one today, not feeling too well and I’ve been down for the count much of this past weekend with migraine headaches. Here we go!

Accessibility

I haven’t been talking a lot in the newsletters about accessibility and that is on me. I am going to make sure I get a section in here to discuss it, I mean it was why I started the newsletter in the first place, and also, the name of the newsletter.

Hey there!

I wanted to personally thank each of you that subscribe to the newsletter. I really don’t look at the numbers or the metrics, but I know there are a few of you that subscribe. So thank you. I appreciate you.

2022

I wrote about my 2022 and hope you’ll stay tuned for the hijinx in 2023. There will be plenty more and if I can remember, perhaps some editions will be from the road while I’m out speaking at conferences.

Hey there!

It’s a short one this month. I missed sending this out yesterday, so let’s do it today! Let’s cut to the chase and let’s do this!

The Podcast

The latest episode has been released finally with Gant Laborde on the Front End Nerdery YouTube channel account and published on your podcast app platform of choice! The December episode is coming soon, so stay tuned for that!

Hey there!

Meant to send this out automatically, but you know, I can’t seem to schedule this right so I did not send it out on the first of the month.

Got a little bit to talk about after being on vacation for the last couple of weeks. I’ve been bitten by the writing bug today so… Let’s do this!

The Podcast

Hey there!

After enjoying the first couple of days of my weekend, I am finally sitting down to get to the newsletter. Let's do this!

The Podcast

I've got the two final slots filled for the remainder of this year for the podcast. If you're subscribed, then I can tell you the first episode that will drop in November will be all about Accessibility with one of my favorite people in accessibility I get to finally talk to! The latest episode has been released with Dan Mall on the Front End Nerdery YouTube channel account and published on your podcast app platform of choice! The October episode is coming soon, so stay tuned for that!

Hey there!

I finally got to sit down and get writing this before the first of the month so I am going to get right into it so let's get it going.

The Podcast

I'm trying to get two slots filled and guests have been invited. The latest episode has been released with Paul Boag on the Front End Nerdery YouTube channel account and published on your podcast app platform of choice! September is coming together real soon so stay tuned for that announcement!

Hey there!

Better late than never, am I right?!. I changed the name to “Accessibility and Lobstah Rolls”, that title made more sense. Enough chit-chat, let’s get to it!

The Podcast

Still no new recordings I have two slots to fill and guests have been invited. Getting the latest one for August ready to go soon. Hopefully by today. I’ll announce the episode release through the Front End Nerdery Twitter account when everything has been published.

Hey there!

So I skipped the June edition (not by design) and now I’m going to just wrap everything up in this two edition in one newsletter. It’s been a busy couple of months! Work, W3C, San Francisco, Smashing Conference. So let’s get to it!

The Podcast

I’ve not recorded any new episodes as I have plenty of them in the can ready to edit and knock out as I stick with the one episode per month format. The latest episode to be out is my episodes with Rachele DiTullio and Ben Myers. Hope you’ll give them a listen/watch (and season one as well) and subscribe. Lots of accessibility talk!

Hey there!

A little late (again), but a lot has been going on in my part of the world lately (again). I went to DevNexus in Atlanta in April and spoke about Making a Strong Case for Accessibility. The Smashing Magazine article I turned into a talk.

When I returned home, I tested positive for COVID, so I had avoided it for two-plus years but it finally caught up with me and it wasn’t fun for about 3-4 days of really bad symptoms. Please be safe. I let my guard down and ended up getting it and it is no fun. I’m feeling miles better but still got a cough and fatigue. No fun at all and I’m two weeks removed.

So let’s get to it and let’s get to some good finds I have stumbled across!

Hey there!

A little late, but a lot has been going on in my part of the world lately. After a small vacation over to El Paso, Texas last week and some time on the road, I'm back home and ready to rock and roll. 🤘🏻

So let's get to it and let's get to some good finds I have stumbled across!

The Podcast

Hey There.

This is going to be a short one.

With recent events going on in the world, we’re all tired. Especially those who have been impacted the hardest. At home, wherever you are, and all over the world, like the people of Ukraine.

You can give here and you can also give here

Hello Friend!

2022 is here and so is the newsletter. Let’s do this!

2021 is finally behind us and 2022 is upon us. With 2022 comes a few things I am looking forward to achieving (in no particular order).

1. Chairing the W3C Error Handling subgroup
2. A new, part-time position with the Centre for Inclusive Design in Sydney, NSW, Australia
3. Write an article for A List Apart
4. At some point, a lead role at the company I work for, WebstaurantStore
5. Speak at three live conferences (with mask & safety protocols)
6. 500 YouTube subscribers (more on this below)

Hello Friend!

2021 What's there to say?

2021 was another year. Honestly, I think 2020 and 2021 were the twins from the movie "The Shining" sometimes, but then again, 2021 was filled with a lot of good things as well. So I really can't say 100% that the last two years were awful. I think I'd rather try and find the redeeming things that the past year has given me.

2021 was a year that gave me a lot of opportunities to grow and learn. It also gave me a couple of opportunities that I thought would never come.

Hello, Friend!

How are you?

So November came and went, huh?

November wrapped up with my application for Invited Expert to the W3C granted, which means I can resume working in the task forces and groups and fill out surveys and a bunch of other group-related things.

Hello, Friend!

How are you?

So October was a busy month for me, now as we swing into November things are going to be less busy but enough about that, I had a couple of talks that took place and went very well. Coming out of October though has cost em and I am paying the price.

This month is going to be a lot shorter for a reason.

Hello Friend!

How are you?

I'm re-sending the October newsletter because of a horrible typo I had in it which is fixed now and welcome new subscribers. Plus I'm adding some events I have been a part of this week as well.

Hello Friend!

How are you?

As we rapidly approach the end of the year, we're getting into October. So that said, I don't have anything spooky or Halloween-related to say because I'm not much of a holiday person, but I hope you and yours (especially with the younger ones) have a happy and safe one.

There is a bit to get into in this edition so let's get into it!

# Hello Friend!

## How are you?

The move is done! I am in Phoenix, AZ! Now to get the rest of my belongings that was shipped before I left Maine! I am going to miss those lobster rolls and days of sitting out on the rocks on the ocean shore.

Two surgeries and a move and I am relaxing and working and just resting before I do anything after the holiday weekend here in the US. I'm going to make this a quick one so let's get into it!

Hello Friend!

What's Going On?

As busy as I have been recently now that I am four months into my job at Knowbility, I'm starting to get to this newsletter a bit and streamlining it. Also, the W3C work has been a lot as well, I may have to cut back on groups because my work load is heavy and I rarely have time for personal projects and self-care these days.

I am moving to Phoenix, AZ at the end of this month. It is happening! No snow seems like heaven to me. As of this newsletter, it's now 28 days before I head west.

Hello Friend!

Let's get Into This

It's July, I went on vacation at the end of June and I leave (as of this newsletter) tomorrow for the East coast. I have however decided to take a leap and will be moving back to the Phoenix, Arizona area at the end of 2021. It may be hot out here, but there's no snow!

A few things to get to, so let's get into it!

Hello Friend!

Halfway There!

We’re already at the halfway point of 2021 and it’s hard to believe, but here we are! Hope you, dear reader, are doing well and we can all see the light at the end of this long tunnel we have been in for over a year now.

Hopefully soon, we can be back at conferences and doing in-person events as well as visiting others without worry. We’re getting there! 😷

Hello Friend!

What Is Going On?

Well… The first month at Knowbility has been a busy one! Onboarding complete, I am now doing audits and things are going great! A lot to talk about this issue, so let’s get into it!

Hello Friend!

This is a very short and succinct newsletter today. It’s been a heck of a roller coaster the past few days personally. I usually send this out on the first Monday of the month, but this is one less thing I have to remember to do in these busy days. Let’s get newsletterin’.

The Good

I have accepted an offer of employment at as an Accessibility and Training Specialist! I’ll be starting in a couple weeks from this newsletter!

Hey Friend!

Pardon the late newsletter! Monday flew by and it has been a busy last couple weeks since getting back from my staycation. I haven't been streaming, but I am still working on getting that back into the mix, I am just so busy with a hundred projects now.

Here's the skinny!

Major Projects In Progress 🖥

Hey Friend!

Let’s try this again!

WHEW! Thank gawd that 2020/1 January is over. Are we out of the weeds now? THere’s still a lot to be done, but is the worst behind us? Let’s hope it is and get crackin’ on fixing it all.

That said, let’s do this!

Hey Friend!

Happy New Year!

WHEW! Thank gawd that 2020 is over! Granted, things are not going to change immediately, but the sense of a new start seems refreshing. Hope springs from turbulent times though. Let’s get to changing things in the world for the better!

I decided to take the month of January off. I needed a break. Now there will be some “work” mostly on a few personal projects and commitments to hold to but other than that, I am relaxing. Much needed R&R.

Hi Friend!

I just wanted to take this time to wish you personally a very Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, or whatever it is you celebrate, a peaceful, joyous, and safe holiday season.

2020 sure has brought some challenges that have been monumental to all of us, that's for sure. Hopefully with the advent of 2021 we can turn the corner and start our way back to healing as a whole. Together.

Your support wherever on social media is noticed and I am very grateful for you. Whomever you are and whatever you do. You subscribed to hear me piffle on about things web and accessibility and I hope I have made it worthwhile.

Hello Friend!

I just wanted to say "Thank you."

A note about the December edition, for some reason, the auto send did not send when I had it scheduled, so this is why you are getting two newsletters today. Apologies!

Back to this one.

Hi Friend!

It's been awhile!

I hope you all are doing well and taking care of yourselves. That said, we're in December now and headed for the home stretch in 2020! I'm sending this out a little earlier than the first Monday of the month because I have some exciting news to share!

Hey Friend!

Thanks for subscribing to my newsletter!

I plan to write about a number of different topics, but mostly it will be some tech, some lobster, some humor(hopefully) in this newsletter. I don't know about you? But I could use a good laugh during the day.
