The best time to start thinking about and talking about making a website accessible is at the very beginning, before any content or code has been written. But the second best time is right now.

If I hear one more person talk about “putting our brightest people toward solving climate change”, I will scream.

Climate change is not some deep mystery waiting for a scientific breakthrough: we know exactly what causes it and how we address that. We have SOLVED climate change.

The problem is not “finding the solution”, the problem is convincing literally anyone in power that the solution is better than building billionaire bunkers in new zealand.

Some people have free range chickens while others have free range atoms.

"Free-range atoms, roaming around without restrictions, have been captured on camera for the first time – enabling physicists to take a closer look at long predicted quantum phenomena."

#WritersCoffeeClub May 7: Share a special location you write in for inspiration.

My home office. (See yesterday's picture.)

Basically, I get distracted too easily if I try and write in public. Beer, coffee, and company are both bad for my focus. After 18 years my office has exactly what I need, where I expect it to be.

(Writing is not about inspiration, writing is just hard office work.)

I wish I had had more time to photograph this delightfully weird building, but I only had an hour or so before I had to leave for the airport that day. The hard morning light only illuminated this one angle reasonably acceptably.

Opened as the London headquarters for the Michelin Tyre Co in 1911, and now a mixed commercial building, the Art Nouveau Michelin House features whimsical tire-themed ornaments and stained glass windows with the original Michelin Man "Bibendum" character in various, generally terrifying, poses.

We’re a week into our May community fundraising initiative, and it’s going great! https://home.omg.lol/giving

If there’s an organization in your community that you’d like to support but you don’t have any extra money right now, let me know (email adam@omg.lol) and I might be able to help.

Toxic Users: The Unforgiven and the Danger of Unbanning

Toxic users can poison an online community. They harass, threaten, and exploit. Some are beyond redemption. This is why unbanning the unforgiven is a dangerous gamble.
