Accessible presentation tip: read text aloud that appears on screen so people can follow along. Even auto-generated vocalization would be helpful! It can enhance an already great talk so much.

A Claude prompt example on screen that says “please document the code like a principal engineer. Make no mistakes.” And all the artifacts that follow. The speaker stands in front.

The 404 page looks like a video tag too, so same the technique could work there!

Nice to be back in my hometown.

Depends on the wound. For a recent surgery on Rainier’s side/back we were able to get away with a shirt-jacket thing. We’ve used a cone for other injuries, poor guy bangs into walls and gets freaked out.

My favorite memory from 2025 was seeing our kid start pedal biking after a day and a half. She had used a strider bike before. Little ripper 🥹

The only adult wearing cat ears on Halloween during our European train travels today, but I regret nothing. Also, some cool Paris street art! 😺🦇

So fun to spend the week in Amsterdam with my family ahead of @perfnow.nl! Now working on my talk, a reimagined version of a topic I first spoke on a decade ago: Accessibility and Performance. Very excited to share! 🤗

Saw a beaver on my bike ride yesterday, it felt like some kind of blessing.

Wrapping up a week in Vancouver, BC with the frontend infrastructure team from @khanacademy.org. Lots of getting to know each other, eating amazing food, and pedaling around on my bike. So glad I went! I love this town.

Senior dog Sunday. Loving getting time to hang on the beach with this sweet dude! He moves pretty slowly on the rocks and sand these days. #RainierMcCheddarton

I have 2 significant anniversaries in my life this year, 2025: Mr. Rainier McCheddarton the Labradoodle _and_ the A11y Slack both turned 10 years old this year. Time flies when you’re pallin’ around with accessibility folks and a cool dog!

Ahhhhh, that was a fun time! @khanacademy.org is filled with so many wonderful people. It’s also the first and only place I’ve worked with a freakin’ talent show at their annual onsite. So much heart, humor, and insight. Stoked I landed in such a great spot 💖

I haven’t really recovered from laughing at this Generative AI image that Adobe Photoshop created from my favorite headshot. I just wanted to upscale it from a small pixel size. It came back with these weird gems 🤣

Adobe Photoshop’s crop tool on an image with my head on someone else’s body. There are two mystery caucasians on my side, with mostly white objects in a really boring setting. The word “Upoase” floats above our heads.

A really weird photo illustration with my head on a woman’s body, next to a smiling man holding up a Tetris piece. In the background are more weird graphs and a blurry crowd of people.

We have a Sprinter van that my husband _just_ finished building out! Pretty much…it’s like 95% done 😅 we sleep sideways and have room for mountain bikes underneath! Lots of trips with just a bed in it prior to this though.

I recorded a Leet Heat match today and thrived 🌶️😂 That was super fun. Thanks, @jason.energy! You’ve got a great thing going. ❤️

My husband, about things I suggest for our toddler: “you don’t actually say ‘What in tarnation’, do you?” Me, a millennial computer person:

I raced cyclocross for the first time in years today, that was fun! I’ve mountain biked and ridden gravel bikes a LOT…so the technical parts were my fave. Fitness, not so much 😅
