“…the IndieWeb is a toolkit. A collection of ideas, technologies, and services that can help you solve some particularly tricky problems. If you're wanting to get involved in the #IndieWeb, the first question you need to ask is: what problem do I have?” https://theadhocracy.co.uk/wrote/one-year-in-the-indieweb

Doing a repair for one of my partially sighted customers today, so here's your semi-regular to ask yourself if if your website supports high-contrast mode and do your social media posts and images online have captions? Are your display name and posts screen reader friendly? They're all small straightforward things that can be the difference between being inclusive or exclusive x

During lockdown, BBC Front Row has had an artist in residence who is thousands of miles away in Iceland. Víkingur Ólafsson plays some wonderful pieces and talks about them too. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p08gstyc

Loads of British road maps (from modern OSM to various types of Ordnance Survey maps released under open data licence, all layered and with point and click function to get lat/long and British Grid Reference (something omitted from so many other online maps).
If you are curious about how the road network developed in Britain this is an excellent resource..

You know what kills me? It’s been ~13 years since I last saw this video of this person taking a photo of themselves, everyday, for 6 years. Last week he upped it to 20 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAIZ36GI4p8
I’m not the only one getting old, so are memes on the internet

Hi.
If you share a screenshot of text from a gargantuan desktop display or even a laptop, please shrink the window width first.
Hardly anyone can read that full-screen-width text. It appears microscopic because most of your audience is on mobile.
