I like the sound of that!
Take a bit of planning and setup though....

Getting the not written and probably laminated - easy peasy.
setting up the website - well, why not do it with something you haven't used before (say knockoutJS and Web API) and write an article - which might then win you a Bob and you can double the chances of it all working!!!

Quadruple. When I was awarded a Bob Sticker for my Git article, they've sent me two.

I would hardly suggest anyone sent all of their Bobs out into the cruel world 
I wish I a) had more time and b) this was a Mac site - then I would write some more articles, win a Bob and do it myself.
Alas, 'tis not the case.
Dave, on t'other hand, I think works a cool shif system that gives him weeks off at a time - plenty of scope for bobbing about

Go for Qt development, there is a Qt section in the Cross Platform category.

You are correct on the shift system.
2 weeks at work, 3 weeks at home.
You would be surprised how much other things consume the leave time, stopping all the real bobbing about stuff getting done!

"Accidentally" stick him to the door of a Super Puma when you enter it.
Edit: Just seen OG had a closely similar idea. Can you comfort a pilot to have Bob travel with him on the back of his helmet?

No you can't. If you don't want it pass it on to me.
I wanted it for years!!

I also received a couple of them for winning article a couple of months ago and haven't figured out where the appropriate place to stick him. Ahem I know what y'all are thinking and Bob deserves better.
If first you don't succeed, hide all evidence you ever tried!

I stuck one on my car and the other is standing with my MVP certificate.

Does WCAG mean anything to anyone?
Here at this new work they want their (web) app to be "WCAG compliant" which is another word for being accessible.
Thing is, I never heard of WCAG before!
A friend there told me "everybody uses it"
Well, checking, does everybody do?!!
[NOTE] To be clear my question is about vocabulary!
Does "WCAG" means something to you? Does "accessibility"? Which one speaks more to you?

If it's "We Complain And Gripe", I think it's pretty universal, otherwise, no, never heard of it.

What, Code? All Goto!
No, I don't use it.

Oh, so that's what it means?!
I meant, what would be the more meaningful expression to you?
WCAG? or accessible?!

Well, when I woke up this morning, I knew what "accessible" meant. "WCAG" I'd never heard of.
Which am I more likely to use? "Accessible" unless there is a specific reason for using "WCAG" - like I felt the need to impress someone with my knowledge of acronyms. Which generally make people actually think "The muppet - why won't he talk English?"

Everybody probably uses it to some degree without realising it.
The standards are set and companies like Apple / MS / Google etc. then build the OS and websites to meet these standards and set the guidelines. Naming Conventions / Colour standards / Layout etc / General UX
Everybody then builds their own applications and websites that tend to follow current trends and align with the look and feel of the majors. The development tools also ensure compliance to some extent.
The result is that you unknowingly comply to some extent (ok, probably no where close to 100%) with the WCAG without even realising it.
