<p>By day, I&#39;m the Accessibility specialist at Desmos Studio. Otherwise, technology, music, fitness, amateur radio, and bad television from the 90&#39;s occupy the rest of my time. Dictators and Nazis not welcome.</p>

    I know people are genuinely concerned about AI getting out of control, and I admit to sharing many such reservations. But if anyone has tried using Alexa Plus, you&#39;ll understand why I&#39;m personally not as worried about our impending technological destruction.

    Not directly related to Global Accessibility Awareness Day, but we released a public beta of #Desmos Notebook, a place where you can mix text, math, geometry, graphs, and 3D constructions in a single document a few hours ago. I mention #GAAD here because accessibility is a deeply held core value here, and we&amp;#39;ve spent a lot of time to ensure the product works for everybody. Still a public beta, but I welcome feedback on what works well and any rough edges. Find it at www.desmos.com/notebo...

    I had such hope for the new #SunoAI feature to clone one&amp;#39;s voice for increased personalization. Its approximation of my own dulcet tones fails spectacularly, and thus, I present &amp;quot;My AI Voice&amp;quot; as sung by... a sort of old man with a weird British/American/South African? accent.

    The combined and still uniquely distinguishable odors of fresh mulch and dog fart permeate my office this afternoon.

    Just learned of another victim of today&amp;#39;s right-wing techno-fascism: Code 2040 is closing its doors at the end of May. https://www.code2040.org/blog/2026/3/9/h4uynvb9k2kxgujn56jsw4fqeqyumq

    Thought I&amp;#39;d see how #Suno would cover the original Blart Radio theme over my lunch break. Given the source material, I don&amp;#39;t think it turned out too badly.

    Another #Suno cover, this time of the ending music for Blart Radio. I&amp;#39;m surprised how much of the original it recreated-- even down to the harmonies in the main melody.

    It&amp;#39;s nice that federal and state entities are rushing to ensure their software and services are WCAG 2.1 compliant, and demanding suppliers fill out an #accessibility conformance report is mostly reasonable. But providing said document as a non-editable PDF feels disingenuous and hypocritical, and only increases my cynicism that anyone out there really gives a fuck about this stuff.

    Just saw this video featuring my friend Ken, N8KR, talking about all things #SKCC for #HamRadio operators interested in CW with mechanical keys: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjEw2cDktvM
