I don't know that. Be skeptical about what one reads in the Web.
I was up at the Grand Canyon Star Party last Sunday night when it passed by.

My CCTV article got the runner up in the "Everything Else" category (WooHoo!) and a Bob sticker should eventually be winging its way across the pond at some point.
The question is, what will I do with it? Can't waste it! Sticking it to a laptop is just too predicatable...
Should Bob make some random appearance around the platform or make a warp speed trip across Scotland on the bonnet of the Merc, perhaps go flying up in a drone.
I don't have the location/resources to send him back up to space with a weather balloon, so that is out of the question...
Hmmmm, thinking cap required. Ideas anyone?

I wouldn't get near it to do that.....(and don't think the chopper owners would be very happy!)

0. take photo of Bob with a view (from the platform?)
1. Place Bob in envelope with note*
2. Leave Envelope somewhere public with 'OPEN ME' written on it
3. Set up Bob's Travels website
4. Wait
The note needs to explain that the person reading it should take a photo of Bob with a view, upload the photo to the website and repeat the process.
it could fall flat, or it could go on for years...

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.
