I’ve spent a lot of time on alt text for presentations over the past five weeks, and more than once Apple’s Live Text feature has saved me a whole bunch of retyping, when people (myself included) have used non-accessible infographics in their decks.

Sad times: Canon formally discontinues the last EOS-M cameras, saying goodbye to EF-M

Hell of a posting frequency there, huh?
Some thoughts on mortality and over-sharing former students.
I’ve just bought my youngest the dry robe reviewed in this article. It’s great for our 7.30 am Sunday swim lessons run. In the spring, it’ll be sea swimming time again, and she’s all prepared.
The first would-be competitor to X/Twitter to fail? Stand up, Pebble (formerly t2). Maxed out at about 3000 daily activity users, so funders weren’t interested.
