Curious what I write about?
Effective Accessibility Workshops
I'm a big fan on workshops to replace meetings and write an email every Wednesday on how to run effective workshops in accessibility. I have a collection of workshop exercises that you can try yourself. Fear Finder is one of my favourites.
Accessibility metrics
Every Tuesday, I cover accessibility metrics and KPIs that give you insight into how accessible your product is. This one about accessibility metrics that give you early warnings gets the most views from my readers.
Weekly 1%
It's tough working in accessibility so it's important to celebrate the little victories and learn from each situation. Every Saturday, I write about lessons that I've learned the past week. I call that a 1% - and it compounds over time. This one is about moving forward and fixing mistakes.
Sunday joke
I write a joke every Sunday to keep it light. I've written more than 20 so far. Here's a short one for you to at least make you smile.
Want to get the next email?
Having doubts?
I believe in a learning strategy that is high-contact and human-to-human. I use these emails to support relationships, not to create them.
What if the content is rubbish?
In every email, I share my thought processes around focusing first on the people, the culture, and the collaboration between design and engineering. I make generous use of analogies to get you to understand what I'm teaching. Some of them will be controversial, some you will nod along to and some you might dismiss as heresy. But you won't be able to ignore any of them.
Will I still learn anything if I already have experience with accessibility?
Yes! Every email I send out explores accessibility concepts from different perspectives you won't find anywhere else. So if you're wrestling with some concepts or already have a solid base, you're likely to find little nuggets of wisdom that will push you to think differently, no matter where you are on your journey.
What if you'll send me too many emails?
You will get 365 emails every year. This is after all a daily list. Some emails will be only 50 words long, others could go for 500. I'm very mindful of how valuable your time is so I try to keep every email's reading time to under 5 minutes.
What if you'll try to sell me things?
This isn't a "salesy" daily list. It's an opportunity for us to learn together. You won't get any hard-sell emails from me and I won't push any third-party (or my own) products on you. The list is free, and always will be.
What if you'll sell my email to others?
That goes without saying, I hope, but it will never happen. I'm not trying to make money from this daily list, least of all by selling your information to others.
What if I get bored? Can I unsubscribe?
I doubt you will, but yes, absolutely! You can unsubscribe with a single click.
Why should I subscribe if I can read all the emails online in your archive anyway?
Of course, you can enjoy the emails in the daily archive. But if you want to share success stories, friendly rants and bring your personal touch to the narrative, you'll have to do it by replying to my emails in your inbox. I read and reply to every email I receive from my subscribers on the daily list.
Why should I NOT subscribe to the list?
If you're looking for perfect answers, impeccable grammar, long-form essays, a know-it-all attitude and a polished narrative, this list might not be for you. Why? Because I will sometimes share half-form thoughts, I make typos, and will throw around ideas that might not have legs to stand on.
