Today is the Transgender Day of Visibility, and, for the first time, I am visible.

Hello and welcome to my NEW new website. If everything goes well, it should look almost exactly the same[1].
Around nine years ago, I set this website up with Jekyll and GitHub Pages. Since then, it’s gone to a new host (I’m currently hosting it using Cloudflare Pages), switched primary domain names (though most old links should still redirect), and now is undergoing a brain transplant. From Jekyll to Eleventy!
I have low vision. A kind you can’t really correct for with glasses or contacts. I also bought Apple Vision Pro at launch. Why would I do this? Well because I’m a nerd who wants to see the future, but also because I was fascinated to see how Apple would handle accessibility for this new product. Apple’s track record on accessibility in the past decade has been stellar[1], in my opinion, with their teams adding powerful options every year and ensuring every new platform has accessibility support built in from the start.
After watching Apple’s WWDC23 session on visionOS accessibility, I knew accessibility on visionOS was an important point for them. But even after consuming as much information on the platform as I could, I knew I had to try it for myself to know the answer to the important question: how well does it work for me?
It’s time for a new year and so, inspired by an initiative spawned by the Hemipsheric Views podcast and further expanded by Robb Knight for folks to share their default apps, I thought I’d share a default app list of my own! This is primarily focused on stuff I use outside of my actual job, which also means my list is extremely iPhone and iPad focused. I have a personal Mac, but I use it shockingly little as of late.
