The latest “AI" interpretation of me saying my name, that @beantin.net just sent me:

"and I’m a pad AX bum"

This is from a transcription tool we use for our podcast.

Haha. Yes, there is something quite different about actual paper and a collection of articles, that don't disappear or crash or get altered - or need to log in to read.

I've got a new magazine! It's one about tatoos this time.

"did you try the other hole round the back?"

Obviously, I know you didn't ask for help writing the script Chris, but, well, irresistible!

Exactly! So much better to weave it into the content. For everyone. Visually, the picture is then additional content that you can take in without too much of a cognitive detour. For screen readers, it's all there in the main text. No detours there either!

At all times.

I'm very susceptible to ear worms too. It takes very little to set me off.

Just a couple of words in a sentence and boom, my brain has dug up an obscure 80s b-side for me to listen to.

I think it’s bewildering that so much of accessibility is presented as being about mastering a zillion technicalities and rules, losing focus on the objective which is to deliver better experiences for disabled people and people with disabilities - preferably by involving us in the work

I'd quite happily quit working and spend all my time attending Alastair workshops if I could.

(Ok, so I'd perhaps reserve a bit of time for baking too)

Thanks Lisa! They tasted pretty good too 😀 I'm afraid you'll have to trust me on that, they don't do transatlantic travel too well!
