I'm a web (mostly #WordPress) developer who tries as much as possible to focus on #a11y. I work in #HigherEd. I'm a dad of 3 grown kids and a grandfather […] [bridged from https://higheredweb.social/@cgrymala on the fediverse by https://fed.brid.gy/ ]
So, to upgrade my Internet service, my ISP sent me 2 new Eero devices that are capable of handling the new speed. You know what they didn't send me? A new router that handles those speeds and digital voice.
If I didn't check my service after the upgrade, I would have never realized that I […]
6 years ago this week, the world had already begun to shut down. I went into the office on Thursday, March 12 as I did every Thursday. By the time I left the office, I knew it was going to be a little bit before I went back, but I had no idea how long it would be.
Tried to change my email address for one of my Cloudflare accounts, because I no longer have access to the old email address. However, Cloudflare apparently won't let me change my email address without first verifying my old email address (which I can't, because I don't have access to it).
It was almost 85 fahrenheit yesterday. Today, it's snowing and sleeting.
As I mentioned a few days ago, I upgraded my Internet service. My ISP shipped me 4 boxes for my upgrade. 1 of those boxes had another box inside that contained my new router, a power supply and an Ethernet cable. The other 3 boxes each contained bubble wrap, a prepaid label and some packing tape […]
1. Horrifying ruling out of the 4th Circuit.
An all-Republican 4th Circuit panel has just ruled that states can compel trans adults to "appreciate their sex" by enacting care bans.
It even directly says that trans adult care bans are legal in the ruling.

Just finished watching "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You", which has incredibly positive reviews.
All I can say is, I must not be taking the right drugs, because I didn't get any of it.
Was sitting in the bar Friday night, and mentioned to the person sitting next to me that we were doing 80s Hair Bands trivia on Wednesday. She said "oh, my cousin was in one of those". She then proceeded to tell me that her cousin is John Christ, the guitarist from Samhain and Danzig (neither of […]
This "war" is so bad it even killed Country Joe.
@Phil_Tanner I ended up doing "Sweet Caroline" because it's a crowd favorite, but I have done Megadeth and Frank. Not sure I could pull off Spice Girls, but I'd give it a shot.
No one can pigeon hole me. Tonight at karaoke, among others, I've sung Cake, Johnny Cash, Gorillaz and Motorhead.
Wonder what I should sing next.
Rest in peace, good sir.

Watched "Song Sung Blue" last night. It was decent, and the acting was really good, but I'm confused as to why they took 20 years and condensed it to 2. The whole story became so much less impactful. We're talking about a romance that went through a whole lot of stuff over 20 years and still […]
My dad went fishing today, but found that Walmart no longer sells nightcrawlers (they even took out the fridge where they used to keep them).
It just occurred to my mom that the reason for that is because the nightcrawlers come from Canada, and they can't get them anymore.
I wonder how the […]
For those that are fans of great music (especially #industrial) and/or were part of the absolutely amazing #Dreamcast scene back in the day, here's something you will love.

I didn't realize when I upgraded that they were going to take the Eero devices they "gave" me when I signed up for the service years ago, so now I have to figure out how to get those for my new service. My ISP offers it for an extra $10/month (but won't let me add them while they're working on […]
Upgraded my Internet service from 1 gig to 2 gigs yesterday (which is what I ordered in the first place 3 years ago, but they told me at the time that 2 gigs didn't work for anything but running your own servers), because the price is only $10 more.
The concept I always have so much trouble wrapping my head around when trying to integrate PHP Unit Testing is "How do I know what to test?"
All of the tutorials focus on the technical aspects, explaining how to write tests and run them, etc., but they never seem to get to the "If I don't know […]
@jcrabapple also, if it's an artist name you recognize and the music is completely and totally different from anything else they've done. A lot of AI music squats on other artist names.
I just saw a pharmaceutical ad, and I sincerely do not know whether the medicine being advertised is for people or dogs.
They spend so much time talking about side effects, that if you don't hear the first 5 seconds, you have no idea what the medicine is supposed to treat.
Great. More scripted temper tantrums.

A screenshot from the article of the following text: "This caused the satellite to enter a “cold state” with low power and no attitude control shortly after launch, resulting" I believe the word "attitude" is supposed to be "altitude".
@jcrabapple quite possibly my favorite typo I've seen in a very long time.
We have a stakeholder that would like to embed a livestream from a construction camera on their website. How do you handle something like that for accessibility? There won't be any audio, but the video will obviously be showing the construction progress of the new building. What do we need to […]
At this point, Derrick Greene has been the lead vocalist for #Sepultura at least twice as long as Max Cavalera was. That's a pretty wild thought.
Watched the new Brendan Fraser movie "Rental Family" last week. It was very good. Extremely sweet (not saccharine), and a little sad, but I'd definitely recommend it.
As a westerner, though, I am just as perplexed about the concept as his character was in the beginning. Apparently it is a big […]

It's amazing to me that sites still try to keep you from viewing their content when you have an ad blocker, and then provide instructions on how to disable it, as though 99.9% of their visitors have any control over those settings.
Even when I'm using my phone on my mobile network with nothing […]
@jcrabapple Happy Birthday!
Hanging out at the Half Note Lounge at the GW hotel in Winchester listening to our buddy Adam play some great music.
