Sometimes the Best Accessibility Fix is a Usability Fix AI cartoon of woman with long dark hair struggling to open a bottle, a common form of usability failure. Teams often arbitrarily divide work into two piles:...

Accessibility and usability are deeply connected. As Sheri Byrne-Haber points out, when experiences are intuitive, they become more inclusive. Fix the experience, and you often fix accessibility.

"Happy lunar new year" on red background with gold decorations

Welcoming the Year of the Fire Horse:
A year for strength, movement, and fearless new beginnings.
Wishing everyone health, joy, and forward motion this Lunar New Year. May the year ahead bring clarity, confidence, and positive change.

Building an Accessible WordPress Theme Learn how to choose and build accessible WordPress themes, using Accessibility-Ready themes and Bootstrap as a strong, practical starting point.

An accessible WordPress site starts with the theme, not a plugin. Themes are architecture, not decoration. I am rebuilding from first principles using Bootstrap to design accessibility in, not retrofit it later.

We Can Now Track Individual Monarch Butterflies. It’s a Revelation.

Researchers have tagged more than 400 monarch butterflies and are following their journeys on a cellphone app (and you can too). They are using a tiny solar-powered radio tag that weighs just 60 milligrams and sells for $200 (monarchs weigh 500 to 600 milligrams).

Intense pink aurora shortly after sunset tonight driving south out of Fairbanks, Alaska. Some of the most stunning color in the aurora I have ever seen!

I've known Aziz for nearly 25 years, and I'll never forget the morning I heard his name announced as a Nobel winner. He was on my wife's PhD committee, and I ran to tell her the good news. An amazing scientist who may come across as gruff at first, but who genuinely cares for his mentees.

This is the best time to see the northern lights in Alaska. Here’s where to go. America’s northernmost state is the perfect front-row seat to the aurora borealis—and this winter will be an extra special time to see it.

Happy to have been interviewed for and featured in this recent National Geographic article: www.nationalgeographic.com/travel/artic...
