It’s quite cold outside with no snow yet. I’m uncertain whether it will snow later; the weather announcement indicated it might, but the forecast isn’t showing any signs of it. The low for today is -1, and currently, it’s only 15 degrees. It’s now lunchtime, and I’m contemplating a bowl of spicy ramen, possibly accompanied…
Cause it’s Friday
I spoke with Kel last night, and she mentioned that her dad is living like a bachelor, with little to no food in the house. It reminded me of my own experience when I first moved to Germany. I arrived in the afternoon, and both Kevin and I went out for lunch and dinner. We…
It’s a scam
It’s warm. It’s 44 degrees outside and sunny. But it’s all a scam. I know what’s coming on Saturday. An arctic cold front is among us. And isn’t that just how winter likes to toy with us? It gives us these brief glimpses of warmth, these tiny windows of reprieve, as if to say, “See,…
The dang phone
I finally managed to reschedule my mammogram. After several weeks of contemplating it and rehearsing what I would say, I picked up the phone and made the call. I experience significant anxiety over phone conversations; I tend to freeze up when I’m on the line. I find it helpful to jot down my thoughts beforehand…

Anxiety is high
The other night, while playing Final Fantasy XIV with Tommy, he asked why I never listen to the game’s audio. I explained that I prefer to be aware of my surroundings rather than immerse myself in the game sounds. He inquired if my ex, Mike, ever allowed me to enjoy the game’s music. I replied…
Still more snow
Today, we are exploring the concept of Responsive Design. This term refers to the development of websites that adapt to changes in browser size, ensuring functionality across various devices. However, it’s important to note that the phrase can be somewhat misleading because of the word ‘design.’ Our lessons will not primarily concentrate on the visual…
Cold day
We are currently diving further into our understanding of web accessibility in coding, particularly focusing on WAI-ARIA. WAI-ARIA, which stands for the Web Accessibility Initiative’s Accessible Rich Internet Applications specification, aims to enhance the accessibility of web content when traditional HTML falls short. Often referred to simply as ARIA, this specification provides guidelines for creating…
Snow!
We’re currently experiencing occasional snow showers and strong winds. It’s quite chilly outside, so I just enjoyed a warm cup of tea to help me warm up. I also have the heater running in the office. While I doubt the snow will accumulate, I’m still excited to see it falling. Snow has a way of…
Quiet Monday
I spent the day reading and watching videos about web accessibility, and now I’ve been examining various websites to see if I can navigate them using just the keyboard. It’s fascinating to discover that some sites lack accessibility features. Unfortunately, my own site falls into this category. While it is possible to navigate it via…
