👋🏻 Howdy, howdy! Welcome to Some Antics, a weekly show where Ben brings on guests from around web development and design to teach something about building great user experiences for the web in a hands-on way, with a focus on accessibility and core web technologies! Live Tuesdays at 2pm Central.
👋🏻 I'm [**Ben Myers**](https://twitter.com/BenDMyers). I'm a **frontend developer** and **web accessibility advocate**, currently working on Microsoft Docs. I'm passionate about accessibility and great user experiences on the web.
Some Antics is a weekly show where each Tuesday, I bring on guests from around web development, design, and more to teach me something in a hands-on way over the course of an hour.

# » Where can I watch past streams?
Past streams are [**uploaded to YouTube**](https://youtube.com/c/BenDMyers). There may be a delay before a given stream is up, as it takes a while to provide accurate closed captions.
