How Losing My Limbs Turned Me Into a Different Kind of Cook https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/27/dining/yewande-komolafe-losing-limbs-different-kind-of-cook.html?unlocked_article_code=1.HlA.PxZb._Hgak6GZTSxK&smid=nytcore-ios-share

How is everyone doing this evening? I'm sitting in bed drinking my medical food shake, listening to music, with a few #IncrementalGames idling, and maybe doing a bit of #Python practice on #Codecademy.
I'm not 100% yet, but I feel stronger than I've felt in a while. I don't particularly care for the taste of these shakes, but my mom and I are working on ways to improve them. It's also a relief not having to worry about whether food will stay down or whether I'm getting the nutrients I need.
I'm also still using and enjoying #FastSM for #Mastodon on #Windows. It's been working well for me so far.
Accessibility / tech note for fellow screen reader users:
If you use #NVDA with #MicrosoftEdge (and possibly #GoogleChrome) and have been dealing with freezes or heavy lag, especially when you have multiple tabs or web apps open, check whether you have the BrowserNav add-on installed. I was experiencing some pretty severe freezes, sometimes to the point where NVDA would become unresponsive for minutes. Disabling BrowserNav made a noticeable difference for me right away, including being able to keep more tabs open without issues.

Here's a summary of my recent work together with the end user: a keyboard adaptation for the user with cerebral palsy. This time, we used a software instead of custom hardware.

Double TapJan 17

If you’re still catching up on episodes, here’s a quick heads-up. We’re adding another weekly show, which means Double Tap is now officially seven days a week.

From this Sunday, you can join Shaun and me for a brand-new show called Double Tap Mainstream. This one’s all about the bigger tech stories — but through our lens. We’ll be digging into things like Grok, OpenAI’s health ambitions, and even taking you for a wander through the halls of CES with some brilliant tech experts along the way. This is our pilot episode, so we’d really love to hear what you think.

If you listen on AMI-audio, this new weekly episode will start airing on Sundays from next week.

A quick note on Saturdays too — Double Tap Extra wraps up this week with a review of the Scribe app from Michael Babcock. But don’t worry, Saturdays aren’t going anywhere. From next weekend, we’re launching Double Tap Weekend, a new weekly show focused on longer conversations, interviews, and in-depth reviews.

Seven days a week. More Double Tap. Let us know what you think.
