What draft? We're counting the days until the next big event in Pittsburgh #CHI2027. Save the date for the next ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems. The theme is one near & dear to any Pittsburgher's heart - bridges! Can't wait to welcome the global HCI community to #Pittsburgh.

A familiar, large yellow clock counts down the 382 days until CHI 2027. It is giant and laughably photoshopped into the middle of the sidewalk on the Pausch Bridge at CMU.

Happy Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD), friends! We celebrated GAAD today with an extra special guest. Jennison Asuncion, co-founder of GAAD and head of accessibility engineering evangelism at LinkedIn, chatted with @jeffreybigham.com, HCII associate professor, at the @cmu.edu event. 🧵1/3

The keynote portion of the event featured an on-stage chat between Jennison Asuncion and Jeffrey Bigham. The 2 are seated in black leather chairs on a stage. They are both grinning and laughing, probably reminiscing about something fun. A large screen behind them has the Carnegie Mellon University and Global Accessibility Awareness Day logos.

Is it a web page, or is it cake? We invited MHCI students to design our new 404 error page and then we popped into class with this cake to announce the contest winner. This design by Sanjna (MHCI ‘25) debuts on our site today, 404 day! (April 4) #404error #404day #cmuhcii

This rectangular sheet cake announced the winner of a contest. There is an edible image of the winning 404 error page design in the center. The writing on the cake is in red icing and says "HCII web page not found" and "Happy 404 Day"
