I’ve been feeling pretty agitated all day. It feels like there was a little bit of me that wanted to just yell at the world to stop being so stupid. That kind of thinking/feeling isn’t going to make things better. I’m just going to acknowledge that I’m feeling this way, realize that it’s just a feeling and if I’m not going to do anything with a feeling that I should let it go until I know where it’s coming from and how I plan to change it.
What I really enjoy about this article is that it has VIDEOS showcasing how the different browsers work with alternative text.
I think that it’s a really good read as I’ve seen a couple apps and services advertise that they can generate the alt text for images. I never really worried about the upper limit for descriptions. I know that I’m a little terse when it comes to describing things - for example, my about page. After reading this, I feel a little more confident in this aspect.
The article goes into some details in some dangers of having a very long description.
Sometimes you can have too much alternative text, particularly for an %lt;img>. I don’t mean there is a limit to what is allowed, I mean there is a limit to what is usable by humans. This long cat photo demonstrates that.
This is a really good article and I’ve added the blog to my RSS reader. I spent a good 30 minutes researching <aside> and role=note and what that could mean for writing and reading on the web.
The more that I work with accessibility, the more I’m enjoying solving the smaller issues. Unfortunately, I also see a lot of areas where things could be improved.
I enjoy and appreciate Brett Terpstra and what he's brought to the internet. I was going over my posts and I don't seem to have ever linked to one of his posts about what he finds on the internet.

Before writing this review, I asked myself am I going to give this movie five stars because everyone else is giving it five stars? Am I giving it five stars because the last movie had four stars in this one it was more engaging?
Well, the answer came to me.
This movie is five stars because it is a good movie. It checks off all the boxes as far as an action movie and good cinema is supposed to have. We have a heroes journey and I feel that you did not need to know all the details of the previous movie in order to get something out of this.
I enjoyed this movie. I really, really enjoyed it. I did not see it in an IMAX theater. But for the for the first time in a very long while, I found myself wanting to go see it again in theaters. I think that if you want to see an action movie or just a Science Fiction movie or a movie about political intrigued, you cannot go wrong with this film.
One thing that the film goes into is how someone becomes “radicalized”. How does someone justify their actions and whether they’re good or bad in order to, do what they see is right.
Overall, I think I’m pretty excited by the movie and really fighting the urge to see it in theaters again.
Follow the mythic journey of Paul Atreides as he unites with Chani and the Fremen while on a path of revenge against the conspirators who destroyed his family. Facing a choice between the love of his life and the fate of the known universe, Paul endeavors to prevent a terrible future only he can foresee.
I’ve recently read this article by Leon Mika on his MicroBlog. It goes a little bit into the details of where he wants his writing to go. I’ve met people through the Micro.blog and it is notable when I see them post about other blog services that they are trying out.
I’ve been ask why I’m using Scribbles given that I’m here on Micro.blog. Honestly I wish I could say I’ve got a great answer.
Leon starts his piece with honesty and follows it with thoughtful reasons.
I’ve also wondered why others are exploring the multiple solutions to building and maintaining a blog. After having years where there were only a couple of solutions, I don’t fault anyone for wanting to explore and see different options.
Having different blogs to express different aspects of your personality and interest does make sense. And, Leon makes it clear that he’s prioritizing his most important reader, himself. On this point, I really applaud him.
I've seen Joe a couple times in some of the IndieWeb meet ups and he always seemed like a cool person to me.
The description of the meet up is as follows:

I really enjoyed this movie. It definitely deserved to have a sequel. That being said, I wouldn't take the time to watch it again by myself.
It’s phenomenal views and a cast of characters and actors that kept me entertained and following along with the plot. I really think they did a good job in showing what Paul and his family is going through and not relying on narration.
If I have all this praise, you maybe wondering why I didn’t rate it higher. Well, it comes down to the fact that the movie doesn’t completely standalone. I watched it knowing there was going to be a sequel. Unfortunately, I thought “Will modern audiences be ok with the movie ending where it did? Will I be ok with it?”.
I find myself bumping this up a star while writing this review because this movie did something. It brought me and my family closer together. We all saw it and then made plans to see the sequel.
So, I suggest you go see it too, but be aware that it will be the setup to something bigger.
I feel that this is one of the better seasons of the show. In this one, they move away from the constantly having our detective doing practically everything while the supporting cast chimes in occasionally. You get a feeling that they are more of a team and the other actors get a chance to show that they can… well.. act.
Except for Marlon, who I’ve never liked as a character.
But that could just be because he’s the Dwayne replacement that was never MY Dwayne.
Still, this is a murder of the week show and it doesn’t go to far from that. My wife and I like to watch it before bed; I think it might be comforting to know that the evildoers get caught and justice is served. Here is a link to Death in Paradise (2011) on the Movie Database.
We've started a new project which requires heavy, creative theming, so I made a prototype to test some ideas out.
I really like this article as it breaks down the reasoning of why they are doing what they are doing. It has some examples that you can follow along with and leaves me thinking about how I can take this knowledge into my own development.
