I'm *thrilled*, my Pebble finally arrived! I'm playing Final Fantasy Tactics, I have a watch from 2015. It's retro city over here. @ericmigi.com
My wrist, wearing a black e-ink watch, the Pebble 2 Duo, showing the time (12:26), the weather, and the date. A grey tabby cat, and a nintendo switch, are in the background.

Cats are just so good.
A grey tabby, photographed close up and straight on, her toes are tucked, her ears are slightly back, her little nose is cute, and her green eyes are shining.

Fall at last! I've updated my code editor and terminal theme for the season 🍂🍂🍂
Shows my code editor and my terminal side by side. Both have an autumnal colour theme - lots of oranges and red, and fall-themed emojis in the terminal, like a maple leaf, and an owl.

Sure I'm really proud of the a11y work I do, but this? Getting people to call buttons buttons instead of always CTAs? This is my real impact, my pride and joy.
Screenshot of a slack message that says, "I would have you know that ever since you pointed out that we use CTA instead of button I have been consciously correcting myself (emoji of a cat giving a thumbs up)"

as a bad speller, I'm shocked and proud
A screenshot of the search sidebar in VSCode. The search term is "aria-labeledby", which is missing an "l". There were no results found.

I went snowbell huntin' yesterday. It's sprung, y'all

#photography #fujifilm #naturephotography
A macro photo of some snowbell flowers - white flowers with short, very green stems, pushing up out of the earth with some soil still on their leaves. The same group of flowers, from the other side, with a better view of the soft, wet soil they've just pushed up through.

Praise be!!! Finally there's an easier way to get into Reading Mode in Chrome!!!
A screenshot of Google Chrome. It shows the What's New page, which includes instructions for how to add chrome features as shortcuts in the tool bar. There is a lot of text, and an abbreviated version of that text is: "Click Chrome Menu, then More Tools, then Customize Chrome. From the side panel, review the list of toolbar buttons that make it easy to quickly access things like bookmarks, print, or (I have added this) Reading Mode. Choose the toolbar buttons to pin and they will appear in your toolbar"

New banner image, and some very important cat-content
Two cats on a pink bed spread, with the sun from the window shining on them: An orange tabby and a grey tabby, curled up with their heads touching and paws outstretched. The orange cat is curled up like a croissant, the grey tabby is stretched out with her belly to the sky.

In lighter news, I'm starting to go through the photos I took from my recent trip to Italy. This cat's by far my favourite that I took!
An orange and white tabby sits perched in an open stone window, set in an stone wall, and is poised with tension in it's body and it's focus fixed on something out of the frame.

This coffee shop (in Spello, Italy) has cats!!!
a PEREFECT unit of a grey tabby on a stool in front of the till at a coffee shop, while a sweet grey haired italian woman in a blue cardigan makes coffee in the background. An also perfect unit of a grey tabby stretches out on top of a cabinet with glasses, in front of a bottle of vermouth and a bottle of campari. His tail is proudly up, he is happy to see me.
