  1. Just got back from my #EAA meeting where I enjoyed a presentation by a member that built a Hummel Bird, which is a teensy tiny plans-built airplane with a half-VW engine.

    Apparently it has horrible ground handling characteristics. His partner ground looped it three times in the first 10 landings, shearing off a landing gear strut on one of them.

    Cockpit inside is like sitting inside a beer keg. Legs rest against sides folded knees up, so no room to stretch out.

    Sorry, no bueno.

  3. Excellent example of good design, analysis, and testing in an iterative fashion.

    This is a world where there isn't even a whiff of AI/LLM/Vibe Coding.

    Don't let the aviation slant of the video turn you away. The principles shown here are applicable to all sorts of scenarios, even code.

  5. While I can't build airplanes with my EAA Chapter, I can contribute in other ways.

    I am now making an A-frame sign to go out in front of our new meeting hangar on meeting nights. Hangar is on a much busier street in clear view of the KEUG cell phone lot. So I am getting two of these signs printed and will knock out a simple A-frame with a slot on sides and bottom to swap out signs in the future for special events like Young Eagles rallies.

    Total cost looks like $75.

  12. Perfect voorbeeld van omgaan met minderheden. En zijn we niet allemaal onderdeel van een minderheid?

    "Onderzoekers vinden tienduizenden tekortkomingen in digitale toegankelijkheid"

    -> "Op 653 websites van Nederlandse organisaties zijn ruim 25.000 problemen met de toegankelijkheid gevonden. Geen enkele organisatie voldoet aan de Europese wet, die digitale toegankelijkheid sinds vorig jaar verplicht stelt."

    -> "Sinds een jaar geldt in Europa een nieuwe toegankelijkheidswet, de European Accessibility Act. De wet moet ervoor zorgen dat iedereen toegang krijgt tot essentiële diensten."

  17. @KCPilot But of course. My pilot's license may not be current (OK technically it is fine, I am the one not current) but once a pilot, always a pilot which means, #bacon.

  21. 🌍 Global Accessibility Awareness Day highlights a global issue. But for businesses, accessibility is not just awareness, it is operational and legal exposure.

    Failures often happen in:
    🎨 Interface design
    ⚙️ Development implementation
    🚀 Production deployment

    With Accesstive, issues are found, fixed at code level, and documented for proof. ✅

    Because accessibility is not optional messaging. It is regulatory accountability

    #GAAD2026 #WCAG #ADACompliance #EAA #WebAccessibility #Accesstive

  22. 🌍 Global Accessibility Awareness Day reminds us: accessibility is not a one-time task. It is an ongoing compliance requirement.

    Most failures are not intentional. They are missed in design, development, and pre-release checks.

    With Accesstive, issues are found, fixed at code level, and documented for proof. ✅

    Compliance is not awareness. It is enforcement readiness.

  23. If a website or app fails under voice-based or assistive input conditions, it can lead to accessibility violations during audits.

    With Accesstive, these barriers are identified, validated, and documented early♿⚖️

  24. A week ago I had my third emergency detached retina surgery. Earlier today the surgeon conducted a one-week post-op exam and said I'm healing fine with everything looking good...so far.

    The surgeon deliberately put a gas bubble in my eye, so I can't return to the mountains until that bubble is gone...in 4 to 6 weeks.

    Once I get back home, I will do a few minor things to the glider, then assemble it again for a full-power taxi test.

    I need to cultivate more patience....
