For Finding Information, it continues to be headings as majority. I hate that I keep having to train people about headings. webaim.org/projects/scr...

A pie chart with 5 values: "Navigate Headings", "Read the page", "Use 'Find'", "Navigate Links", and "Navigate Landmarks/Regions". Navigate Headings occupies 67.7%, Read the page occupies 9.7%, Use "Find" occupies 12.5%, Navigate Links occupies 6.7%, and Navigate Landmarks/Regions occupies 3.3%. Cropped screenshot.

As a joke went to create a mascot for my local model experimentation app (Kettle Cups) mostly to take the p**s out of the sudden cutesification of agents. Annoyingly, I really like it. Introducing Temp - a tiny office temp who happens to be a cup: earnest, slightly officious.

Just receiving reports that one of our elderly neighbours and my wife tempted a trapped crow out of our sports pitch with focaccia donated by the local Salvation Army charity shop. Awesome.

One of the best bits of advice I got from a colleague many years ago - if you want to know whats going on in the world buy the Economist. Extraordinary publication. I very much hope the Foreign office already has a sub.

I think it is very good that the PM is being so publicly vulnerable about grieving his father. That is also a form of leadership

Myself and Adobe totally know they are just juicing their remaining customers now. I have a calendar reminder set for once a year just before expiry. Cancel account >> New offer >> Accept >> Set calendar reminder. Loads of great alternatives, but I still need it for a few things.

Voyager is about the same age as me. Its plutonium generators are fading, and engineers routinely switch off non-essential instruments to conserve energy - relatable.

Great to hear the PM say “We are going to be much prouder in standing up for our values and the rule of law” re foreign information warfare. I wonder if he or the Home Secretary might consider doing the same when it comes to masked vigilantes shutting down infrastructure and harassing the RNLI

The new Mac OSs are really good. Just fixed loads of little things. Like my fingerprint sensor on my keyboard just stopped working months ago. Fixed. And the app switcher on iOS. Was buggy af - fixed. Just nice to see a release that improves the baseline. We don’t need new features always.

5. After around 30 hours at sea, the dinghy was intercepted by the RNLI and those on board transferred to two lifeboats. Two lifeboat personnel tried to secure the empty dinghy. Thomas yelled abuse and knifed the dinghy to deflate it - with a rescuer still on board.

I’ve been making little AI tools for fiddly admin jobs. Local models, on your computer. Your documents stay with you. Some tasks take minutes, so I’ve called it Kettle. Make a cuppa Might never release it, but I’m learning plenty. Small local models have a lot of potential dgw.ltd/2026/09/14/c...

If an org is a classic failure demand structure - call center as triage type - AI must be the ultimate nightmare. The oppression of a command and control system utterly breaks down when the means of reply, tracking and challenge are equalled.

The far-right vs RNLI is a reminder that we have let the media and politicians just bow to far-right ideas of what Britain is - and those ideas are not mainstream by any stretch.

Customizable selects are so 2025. Now is the time for styleable multi-thumb range controls! Great work by @utilitybend.com and Open UI. The <rangegroup> element is being prototyped in Chromium by our team. Can't wait to play with it, which you can do with: brechtdr.github.io/enhanced-ran...

Radial range control with 2 thumbs, allowing to select a range between 0 and 100. The selected range is 25 to 75.
