I’ve known about Secrid wallets for a while, and always thought they were quite cool, but I never knew they also provide so many career opportunities for disabled people in their production processes. You can read more about it here secrid.com/en-de/storie... #valuingcapabilities #accessibility
An orange Secrid wallet sits open on a wooden table, showing several cards in the aluminum cardholder and folded banknotes inside the dark protective cover.

Totally agree. Everything about this story is so impressive. Doing all that distance in 5-6 days, then like you say, running it, and to top it all off only 90mins sleep a night too. Some people are made different aren't they. <3

These annual ‘year wrapped’ things are melting my brain. Spotify, Amazon, Strava, LinkedIn… mostly fine. But Miro? 256 collaborators. 1,936 boards. ”Specialism in workshops.” Lots of numbers. Zero insight. Genuinely worried about what might Microsoft one might say.

The report found that the OBR had uploaded its budget documents to a link which it believed to be inaccessible to the public. However, because the organisation was using a particular add-on to the WordPress publishing system, the link ended up being live, unbeknownst to the OBR itself.

Had a great chat with Al Duggin today. He said something that I think every designer and developer should adopt as their accessibility mantra: “Designing to include means making experiences that work for as many people as possible, without them having to adjust anything for it to meet their needs.”

I was going to say something similar! Always love our natters. AI is definitely changing the way people access information. I know some advice, and guidance organisations are already rethinking how their services are designed and delivered to users to help them stay relevant and trustworthy.

It’s a goodun, staring from the point of view of an individual and their perceptions of value and contribution - it slowly scales up through workplaces, communities, and society. Each time looking a perceptions of disadvantage and advantage and how those could be and have been leveraged as a tool.
