Thing 6: Accessibility
This is a cross-post between WordPress and Medium. Being partially colourblind, I have an accessibility issue. It’s the sort of issue that many other people don’t take particularly seriously (and of course, it’s nowhere near the same league as any of the main sensory deprivations, for example). Often, when I tell people I’m partially colourblind, … Continue reading “Thing 6: Accessibility”

Digital security is the topic of Thing 4 in the 23 Things course. Our activities included running through a scan of the permissions that the apps on our phones and/or devices use to see if any surprising info turned up. I went through a few of my phone’s apps and none of the settings stood […]
