Just Melanie from the Internet

Dear Crunchyroll, Every story has two versions: the one its creators intended to tell, and the one the audience ultimately experiences.

Every year we kind of have an overarching theme for holiday gifts.

I ran into some UI patterns that raised some red flags; one was having a modal/dialog triggered from…some other element that is already “on top” of the current page (e.g., other modals, dropdown menus, flyout panels/drawers).

I work for a company that was recently acquired by IBM.

It’s Monday.

I spoke at axe-con last week, and it was one of the most satisfying talks I’ve given…ever.

It’s a new year, and I’ve been participating in the typical new year rituals of editing and organizing.

Despite my persistent reticence to go anywhere during winter holidays, I received an invitation to attend a cousin’s wedding in California, and, after talking it through with my husband, decided to go.

For years, I felt like there was this persistent fog around my brain.

I avoid using the word “care” when I talk about accessibility, and I believe that part of my success in reaching engineers is that I have avoided that word.
