@jaybird110127 Unfortunately, no. I thought I might, but my data source for game times and scores has completely changed since last year. Getting that up and running would require a lot of dev time and probably a new data source, and I have neither.

I'm *not* hosting my Accessible NCAA Tournament Bracket this year, but hosting Men's and Women's groups on the #Yahoo Tourney Pick'em site. Yahoo has made progress on #a11y and has expressed a commitment to continue improving. Details on my blog: https://t.co/CnI0A7QEr8

@RankBestTeams1 No, my tournament site is dormant until the new pairings are announced in March. Unfortunately I don't have the bandwidth to do anything more than that.

Commemorating #GAAD (one day early) by launching a newly redesigned and reorganized UW Accessible Technology website! https://t.co/OC2WbOq1GG #GAAD2022 #a11y #uwa11y

@FormallyApp @A11YProject Our comparison was based solely on the survey itself, not the authoring experience. I agree with your position; just haven't evaluated the various survey tools with that in mind.

[Terrill Thompson @terrillthompson]

@aucoeurblog Sorry for the slow reply. Was this a last-minute request for Mon 2/21? If so, obviously that window has passed. I'm willing to consider future dates though if you're interested.

[Terrill Thompson @terrillthompson]

@simevidas Hmm. Thanks for the heads-up!

[Terrill Thompson @terrillthompson]

Anyone at #edu21 have a spare power adapter for a 15 “ MacBook Pro (USB C connector)? It’s been so long since I traveled I forgot how to pack. I need to borrow one through Thursday night or Friday morning. I’ll gladly trade a free IT accessibility consult.

New blog post: Accessibility Review of Online Survey Tools. https://t.co/uagy3Ho8UK I'll be doing a deeper dive into the code in my Accessible Online Forms presentation next Tuesday at #HEWeb21. You can still register through Friday!

@AcademyMuseum is there a known problem with the Hildur Guðnadóttir Gallery Talk? I'm registered and logged in, but not getting any video. I get a "Malformed URI" error in the devtools console in both Chrome and Firefox.

[Terrill Thompson @terrillthompson]

@redcrew Yes! There are plans to return my attention to Able Player, including the WordPress plugin, in June. There's been a lot of other stuff competing for my attention.

[Terrill Thompson @terrillthompson]

@PatTwit @aardrian @ChanceyFleet Are there particular tables in Wikipedia you're struggling with? Most seem pretty straightforward and are using th properly albeit without scope. NVDA in Chrome seems to handle them fine. Not perfect though: Most tables are sortable but don't use aria-sort.

[Terrill Thompson @terrillthompson]

@panic Is Nova intended to replace Coda or will the two be coexisting as separate product lines into the foreseeable future?

[Terrill Thompson @terrillthompson]

@kellylford Agreed. I checked ESPN, CBS Sports, and NCAA, hoping I could retire. But they all have major accessibility problems.

[Terrill Thompson @terrillthompson]

The tradition continues! Accessible NCAA Tournament Bracket is now live! Fill out your brackets before Round 1 tips off on Friday. #a11y https://t.co/e4RLeagYq7

Today's the day I'm presenting at #SIGCSE2021 ("Welcoming Students with Disabilities in Online Computer Science Education") while also attending #AxeCon and #CSUNATC21. Wouldn't be able to pull this off if we weren't virtual.

[Terrill Thompson @terrillthompson]

@MMarie @tessahurr Ah, got it. Thanks! Slightly different on a Mac (Cmd + Enter) but that got me over the hump.

[Terrill Thompson @terrillthompson]

@TessaHurr @MMarie I'm watching your Power BI Accessibility video at https://t.co/CEmipYmyDW and am unable to replicate keyboard accessibility in the Gallery at Power BI dot com. Am I missing a step? On both MacOS & Win (various browsers) I can't tab into the dashboards.
