W3C Drops WordPress from Consideration for Redesign, Narrows CMS Shortlist to Statamic and Craft

Shows how important accessibility is for modern CMS. (Although it seems this agency has an axe to grind against Gutenberg.) It does bother me that the web standards organization won’t be using an open source CMS.

Sign of the times: I switched my watch face complication from showing the UV Index to the Air Quality Index 😐

We can create a pattern of teaching people to be curious because curiosity is an engine for learning… it is less predictable but far more powerful than the current alternative

I took a personality assessment last year and the trait that rated most highly for me was “Appreciation of Beauty and Excellence”. This photo is possibly the epitome of that.

Headed to the Grand Canyon tomorrow! First stop in a 6 National Park trip.

Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit

Today’s news is huge for a Mario fan like me. Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit is an amazing feat of AR gaming that my kids (and me!) will love. I can’t wait to try it out.

Also, they have released remasters of Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy for the Switch. I’ve been waiting for this since I finished Super Mario Odyssey.

I am not a huge gamer in general, but I’ll play every Mario game Nintendo makes.

“Instead of asking why we can’t do certain activities, we might consider what we’re willing to give up to do them more safely. Even better, we might even consider what we’re willing to give up so others can do them, too.”

A great assessment (and short read) of how we should be looking at risk when it comes to the pandemic.

Half Life Anniversary

I posted this on Instagram, but wanted to repost here for posterity.

While Valentine’s Day may not be something we care about, February 14th means so much to me.

17 years ago we started dating on a Friday afternoon just like this one. The stuffed bear I gave you that day is still with us, upstairs in our youngest’s crib.

Today, we’ve been together half our lives.

What I’m most excited for is that starting tomorrow, we will have been together more than half our lives. And every day after, I’ll know I’ve spent the better part of my life with the perfect partner for me.

I ❤️ You, Caroline.

(And even though this is a big milestone, let’s just stay home and eat popcorn tonight. 😉)

As a huge Psych fan, I was very excited to go to Santa Barbara. This was the only thing I saw related to show though, as it was filmed mostly in Canada!
