Scott Davis is the Director of Digital Accessibility at Front Range Community College.
TetraLogicalLéonie Watson @tink has been included in the 2025 Web Almanac: Accessibility from HTTP Archive, recognising voices that are helping to shape how accessibility on the web is measured and understood.
As a director at TetraLogical and W3C Board Chair, Léonie has spent decades advancing digital accessibility. She is recognised for her work on AI and accessibility, including exploring the “agentic web” and how accessibility standards must evolve in response.
Mark DominusI once read a story about the people writing the software for the NASA Apollo missions. There was a functionary in charge of weight accounting, who came to them and asked how much the software would weigh.
They told him it weighted nothing, but the functionary had heard *that* one before and insisted—everything had to be accounted down to the last ounce. He demanded to see it.
They showed him a stack of punched cards, and he was triumphant. “You see,” he said smugly, “it doesn't weigh only ‘nothing’!”
“No, you misunderstand,” they replied. “The cards aren't going on the spacecraft. Only the holes.”

It would be fun to have a show called "This Old Code," where it undergoes refactoring and modernization. Boston accents are a must.

Brian SlettenI’d like to direct your attention to a new podcast. Don’t roll your eyes. @Michaelcarducci and his wife are taking a different approach. Whereas everyone else is chasing short attention spans, they are digging deeper and having fun drawing from a range of backgrounds. History, technology, humility, curiosity, and magic all mixed together.
I really enjoy the style and results. I think you will too:
Dev Random TV
/dev/random is brain food for the curious technologist. Hosted by magician, software architect, and storyteller Michael Carducci, this channel blends tech history, culture, philosophy, and performance into documentary-style episodes. One week you’ll hear forgotten wisdom from Fred Brooks or Claude Shannon, the next you’ll dive into phone phreaking, Richard Feynman, or the illusions surrounding artificial intelligence. Each episode uncovers linchpin knowledge—the single hidden insight that makes everything click. Sometimes it’s centuries old, sometimes it’s cutting edge, but always the kind of idea you won’t find in a quick Google search or a ChatGPT prompt. Expect magic, metaphor, and mind-bending connections across domains. Whether it’s AI, architecture, or old-school hacking, the goal is the same: to help you see the world differently, sharpen your craft, and rekindle your sense of wonder.
Accessibility AwarenessWhen you make the pitch for accessibility, be prepared for pushback. There are several myths and misconceptions, so it's good to be aware of what they are and how to dispel them.
