Cardiologist Dr. Helen Taussig founded the field of pediatric cardiology.

Co-developed the Blalock-Thomas-Taussig shunt in 1944. This groundbreaking surgical procedure treated "blue baby syndrome" saving thousands of infants who previously had no treatment option.

Black-and-white photograph of Dr. Helen Taussig, an older woman with short, wavy gray hair, wearing cat-eye glasses, a pearl necklace, and a white medical coat over a dark blouse. She stands in a clinical setting, holding up a large chest X-ray film to the light with her left hand, examining it closely with a thoughtful, focused expression as she looks slightly upward and to the side. Behind her, multiple other X-ray images of torsos and rib cages are displayed on a viewing box or light panels, illuminating the scene.

Wireless earbuds are convenient, but someone in the product design team better get their act together when it comes to designing them for cleaning and other normal use cases of the user.

Like, c'mon, not everyone can chuck money every 1-2 years for new ones for goodness sake! 😤

Adobe is discontinuing Adobe Animate, its popular animation software, ending new downloads from March 1, 2026, with support for most users ending in March 2027 and for enterprises in March 2029, leaving many users angry.

I just love it when my Bose QuietComfort II earbuds gave out 2 days ago. Like, my right earbud stopped working and doesn't charge anymore but the left works fine. Strangely, the case can't even reset and connect the buds to any of my devices.

I fricken trusted Bose and I'm annoyed 🤦‍♀️

(1/3) 🧵

Speaking of designers and their clients not taking accessibility into consideration, here's how you can:

1] Check visibility and contrast on the Web with:

- colourcontrast.cc

WhoCanUse
A tool that brings attention and understanding to how color contrast can affect people with different visual impairments.

The reason I wanted to try and learn web design is because I get to be creative, enjoy researching, and get annoyed with websites having too many GSAP, flashing images on the screen, poor contrast and accessibility, etc

Design with purpose, guys! 👀

After work, I usually do some personal sewing to wind down. Tonight I did something a little different -- a little kakapo painting! I think I'll keep doing little paintings, this was nice :)

Altar: helveticablanc.com/20230110-alt...
A red, ribbon-like entity with three arms undulates upwards towards a destination out of view. A mysterious white script is written on its body. A blue magician approaches a large, red, fragmented altar. The altar gestures toward an offering bowl, and a golden inlay panel shows a hand outstretched to catch a star shape.

I know I am ranting a lot about performance recently, but the goal is to make the minimum spec as low as possible for wide accessibility.

Ideally, any decade old integrated GPU will be able to play the game well at 60fps+
