Friday bookmarklet drop! Another one from the "I forgot to ever post this but have been using it myself for ages" category.

Nice simple one: this forces a focus style for those moments when you want to point out an element that would otherwise lack a focus indicator

When you need to show the top part of the screen and the speech output from VoiceOver/TalkBack but wanna chop out all the pointless guff in between.

A couple of little Friday goodies for people who ever need to provide screenshots for assessments/audits, particularly where mobile phone screenshots are involved.

Looks like we've lost James Edwards (aka Brothercake). I hadn't seen him for a long, long time, but we would send each other music we were making and critique it. RIP.

I've known James for over 20 years, respected all the work that he's done, enjoyed a few fun nights out with him at various events over that time, and this is not exactly how I thought I'd be announcing this - without the certainty that I really, really wanted.

Will miss ya, Brothercake!

I don't want to lie to others about this any longer, especially as the cat has somewhat been let out of the bag. In the absence of any information and communication, *not* saying anything at this point (or this point onwards) feels like people will never know; where does one draw the line? I hope that this was the right decision.

That said, I've personally had a couple of people who have heard whispers through the grapevine and have asked if James is OK or, in one case, "Is it true that James has died?" My response to these questions has been to basically lie about it. But everything in my gut tells me that he's gone, and it also feels like we're never going to get any sort of official confirmation that this is the case. I'd love to be proven wrong, but if he is still with is, I highly doubt he's *really* with us.
