October 20, 2024

My week notes for the week of October 13 through 19, 2024.

Notes

Accessibility Work

My week at work consisted of continuing to go through the accessibility audit of the project I’ve been working on. I was able to take care of most of the low hanging easy stuff, and am now working on cleaning up the custom controls I had to build. Some of it has been tough, but I’m learning and I feel like that’s the important part.

Second Hockey League Starts Back Up

Monday night, my second hockey league started back up. The team I play on started off well winning 4-1. Wish I could say I helped, but I let in one of the only few shots I faced...whomp, whomp. Either way, back to multiple games a week!

Trying to Make a Dent in my Podcast Queue

My podcast queue right now is over 600 episodes long. I’m not sure I’ll ever get through it all with more episodes being added. I was able to listen to a bunch this past week, hoping to make some progress.

Celebrating 11 Years

Saturday Lauren and I celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary. We spent the day in Phoenixville walking around and enjoying the local distilleries and breweries. It was gorgeous weather and a beautiful day for a nice occasion.

Where Should the Rays Play

Posted by Ray Ratto

Hurricane Milton ripped the roof of the Tampa Bay Rays’ stadium, Tropicana Field. Since the repair will cost a lot of money combined with the owner trying to swindle Florida residents out of tax income for a new stadium, there’s question as to whether it will even be repaired. So that leaves a fun thought experiment as to where the Rays will play? Will they take over Oakland after the A’s left? Will they swoop in with a deal with Vegas to keep the A’s out?

Fighting for Our Web

Posted by Molly White

This is a great talk by Molly talking about the wonder that the early web was and how we can hopefully re-claim it.
