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.”
