Musings of a cycling-crazed techie. Friday, January 20, 2012. Last week I had a meeting with the new CTO of the company. The meeting was scheduled to be in Santa Clara. So, I put it on my personal calendar to cycle that day and end up at the Santa Clara office. The evening before the meeting, there was a calendar update with a document attached. I opened the document, but didn't pay any mind to anything else about the update. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Musings of a cycling-crazed techie. Wednesday, July 2, 2014. Why is color contrast important in software design? Designers and product managers often ask me why color contrast and the ability to zoom in is important in software design. There are two groups of people who benefit from color contrast. 1 in 12 men are color blind. Around 3-3.5% of the world population has low vision. As well as the ability to adjust the zoom. Why is the the ability to navigate by keyboard important? People who use a web app ...

Musings of a cycling-crazed techie. Sunday, October 27, 2013. Exploring New Places with Girlfriends. I just got back from a week long vacation in the Santa Fe area with two girlfriends - Nancy, whom I've known for 20 years and Rebecca whom I've known for 15 years. What a treasure it is to be able to experience a new place with old friends! Full set of photos here: http:/ www.flickr.com/photos/27108151@N03/sets/72157638477039385/. Sunday, October 20, 2013.

Musings of a cycling-crazed techie. Monday, May 13, 2013. Ask A11y Volume 2. I answer a lot of questions about Web accessibility best practices at my job, so thought I would bring some of those topics online for the larger community. As a web developer, I make sure to include alternative text on all my images via the alt attribute. Why the heck would I ever want an empty alt attribute? A href="edit.html" img src="pencil.png" width="20" height="20" alt="Edit"/ /a. Because, if you omit the alt attribute en...

Musings of a cycling-crazed techie. Sunday, February 19, 2012. First Race of the Season. Well, it's been almost a year since my last "bike race" posting. I finally got out and raced again yesterday, albeit at a low-key time trial. I don't have my results yet, but I think I was at least in the general ballpark with last year's time. That's good, since I pretty much haven't been training at all. Anyway, it was a good day and a good opportunity to re-learn how to suffer. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Musings of a cycling-crazed techie. Saturday, January 10, 2015. Relief painting of Guru Rinpoche. A wrathful manifestation of the Guru with the wheel of life. The three most important religious figures. Phallus on the corner of a building. There are some practices that I found unique to the area, though my knowledge of Buddhism is admittedly not very deep. Dogs are revered as being the closest of the animal realm to humans in the wheel of life and reincarnation. So, many people feed stray dogs to acc...
