💻 Kitting out

Heading back into the world of full time self employment again is exciting. It also costs a few quid! I’ve bought myself a new MacBook and have been getting everything set up just the way I like it. I’ve also been writing:

1. Everything has its time
2. Hierarchy in tables
3. Making sense of accessibility and the law

More new content!

As well as writing for my blog, I’ve also refined my accessibility consultancy page and written two case studies:

• Creating a culture of accessibility
• Scaling accessibility awareness at Sage: five years of GAAD

Do shout if you’re looking for someone to get your company excited about accessibility and make practical changes for the better; drop me an email or say hi on LinkedIn!

With a new laptop comes all the technical installation: SSH and GPG keys, Homebrew, Node.js; that kind of thing. I like to take something complicated and make it simple, and I followed my article on using nvm on macOS to get my Node setup working nicely.

Elsewhere on the web

Here are some of the more interesting bits and bobs that I came across from around the web during July:

• The ‘Accessibility’ link is a Lie: My Adventures in Weaponizing Corporate Virtue Signaling
• On inclusive personas and inclusive user research
• Accessibility Myth #1: People read on the web
• aria-label Does Not Translate
• 7 Everyday Hacks You Wouldn’t Have Without Disabled People!

Anyway, I’m off to check I’ve got everything installed on this laptop before I hand the old one in at work! See you again in at the end of the month 👨‍💻
