Have to apologize to Nick Simson. He was having more issues than he should have with the webmentions plugin. Turns out that the Block Editor was hiding the option I kept expecting to be there. Will have to come up with a solution for that.

Dear #a11y friends w/ screen readers: I just ran into the following question and haven't been able to do any testing myself yet, so your experience would help me a lot to start from: How accessible are the PDF viewers built into browsers? Do any of the browsers take into account the accessibility features in the PDF, or does the PDF itself hardly matter and the browsers ruin most of it anyway? Or is my intuition fooling me and the viewers are actually quite good? Thanks for your observations!

Does anyone do self-assessments of how they’d quarantine people they share a living space with if they got sick? Doing one of these for family members, sort of like a drill to see how easy it would be to isolate someone. So far, identified several action items.

This really drew me in. It gets increasingly menacing and suspenseful. I think this movie really succeeds in showing how frightening (dangerous even) and really uncomfortable it can be as a young woman (waitress) amongst a horde of men.

Acting was 👌. Hearing some Aussie accent was, too.

Anyhow, I'll now have a Dickin's Cider (sorry! 🫣).

Liked how this looked. Loved Mia Goth's acting, in particular her long monologue and that end scene where she makes faces for a minute or two. The plot could have been a little more focused, but overall a well-rounded, well-entertaining film.

Thanks to all the lovely people joining us for Homebrew Website Club last night! Such an inspiration to meet you all. Keep the web growing! See you next Wednesday, July 10, at LEONARDO co-working space (2nd floor).

Most people got back into board games during the COVID-19 pandemic or were board gamers before. That's not my story. I played games when I was a kid. I was obsessed with a (from today's view quite simple) racing game called 'Autorennen wie noch nie' my grandpa owned. It was ...

In what looks like a very smart move, the team at Mastodon just released a very nice new feature for media organizations, journalists and bloggers: when someone shares a link to an article by certain news outlets like The Verge, MacStories, or MacRumors, the official Mastodo...

I liked Anya Taylor-Joy's performance. And James McAvoy is good, too. But the movie as a whole did not grip me. I just didn't find it suspenseful. The main character is not menacing enough. And there's way too much going on, and as a result the plot suffers. A bit of an eye-roller.

I’m on a roll!

Three birthdays and a studio visit.

Such a great plot and so well executed. I assume this is a pretty low budget film, and all the more respect to make it so entertaining. Spooky, suspenseful, with great acting and some nice gory special effects.
