Welcome

For the last 15+ years, I (John F Croston III) have given many accessibility talks at various events, and the following are the main talks I have presented.

My Slides

My Places to Eat

My friends are always asking me where to eat. I tend to talk about the unusual, little, inexpensive, and out-of-the-way places to eat.

So I created “Gotta Eat Here,” a list of interesting restaurants I found. Sometimes the restaurant is there for only one dish, a dessert, or the whole menu. NOTE - Any restaurants with an asterisk after their name are ones I’m looking to get to.

General Website Information

You are at the website of John F Croston III. I’m a web developer and accessibility advocate from the Washington, DC area.

Right now, the website is nothing fancy and was created with only HTML and CSS. Being an old-school developer, I used vCard Microformats here, along with the “Gotta Eat Here” website.

My blog is full of posts on what I’m up to. Be that accessibility, travel, etc. Along with things I have created or learned, and any other web-related items I have found. You will find a bunch of food-related things.

I enjoy web development a great deal. To do my job, I use the following languages, processes, and skills.

In My Spare Time

I enjoy talking about accessibility, walking, cooking, and a lot more.

Lately, I've been learning about cooking, farming/homesteading, growing my own food, fermenting, etc.

I tend to read technical books about accessibility, web development, user experience, and design.
