This Week @Bōwst
Some weeks, it’s just very obvious when a team is working incredibly hard towards common goals — this has been one of those weeks. What’s better than working with this awesome team? Nothing, that’s what!
The Drupal Connection
Upside Down … Inside Out … Round and Round
Drupal 8.2 will be more outside in — you can click anything on a page, edit it without having to nav over to the admin back end, and boom! It takes effect. It’s a topsy turvy world we live in, y’all.
Conscious Decoupling

Drupal 8’s core includes integrated accessibility features, which is pretty flipping cool. Those features include:
improved contrasts
alternative texts for images
more semantics
tabbing order
forms
tables and views
hidden elements
aural alerts
ckeditor wysiwyg accessibility

Do Doooo Do Do Do … Gadgets … Do Do Do Doooo
Help Me, Obi-Wan
So, Disney filed a patent to create real lightsabers. That work with drones. I’m pretty sure there’s a movie about that or something …
Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall … How Far is it to the Mall?
Perseus is the world’s first smart mirror. Like Jarvis, only without the snark and … um … contained in a mirror. Whatever, it still seems awesome.
Gamers Gotta Game
But do they want to wear a smartwatch designed specifically with gamers in mind? Only way to find out is to make one!

Hasta La Vista, Baby
Are the cyborgs coming? Some argue that the cyborgs are already here. Skynet, is that you? (Kidding… not kidding.)
This One Goes to Eleven
