Rain again on the third of June

The weather is finally not dreary. I drove to and from St Louis this weekend, and it rained nearly the entire time. But today it is sunny and slowly warming up.
Why St Louis? Attending a beer festival with Thomas and Jeff. Great brews, though it was cold and there weren’t nearly enough portajohns (two for [...]

You are cordially invited to come and stay for a while. Your cousin, Bizarro Spring, is messy and the flowers don’t like her.

I literally wrung out my shirt (sleeveless and CoolMax, but still soaked) afterward. During the run I drank two liters of water, and two afterward [...]

Light on the blog as I’ve been heavy on everything else here lately.
Accessibility: the WCAG Samurai (Joe Clark &c.) have published the draft of their errata to WCAG 1.0. Also recently, the Illinois web accessibility bill passed the house unanimously; a signature from Blagojevich is all that’s needed to make it law. I’ve also been [...]
