It feels good to be on stage again after a few months off, ending the year with a bang on the @yowconf.bsky.social roadshow #YOW25 This time I've even brought my own entourage, with our whole family having a few adventures along the way

The recent commotion around Tylenol and autism reminded me how many neurotypicals are so uninformed about neurodivergence they think neurodivergent conditions (autism, ADHD, OCD etc) are some sort of plague that you can catch if you’re not careful enough.

This was the final slide from my Reasons To Be Cheerful talk yesterday at #DDDPerth and it seems to have resonated with a lot of people so I’m sharing it here.

while the current official number is hotly debated, there are actually far more tags in HTML than the ~150 commonly cited! that number merely represents the ones we’ve discovered and domesticated — there are potentially thousands more in the creeping unexplored corners of the deep web & dark net

Reminder that it's 1 million times easier & better to just use a semantic HTML element where they exist No faffing about with JavaScript, attributes, ARIA, hacks and workarounds. It just works.

Had a few people very concerned about my charging cable last week, but the cable of death has now officially been replaced with some shiny new braided cables In my defence, the cable functioned perfectly fine, there are no exposed wires and there were never even any sparks from it
