Making things useful, getting stuff done

Minis, Accessibility and Librarian Superheroes

  • Great way to really shorten that daily commute, via Neil Gaiman’s journal, as is this little gem of a geek hierarchy
  • Zeldman points to two excellent ALA articles: relative font sizes that respect user preferences and what the UK accessibility laws mean for you
  • That last gives me a neat link into Mark Pilgrim’s hazy rant all about how Gmail discrimates against the blind. I imagine that the RNIB will be delighted to take on such a high profile target as Google
  • Great cartoon: my dream leads to scurvy
  • Modern free markets cause lots of problems. Like when your consumers want things at the lowest possible price, because many of them have lost their jobs and remain unemployed due to a jobless recovery, but a shortage of (foreign) seasonal workers is a major issue. Because presumably those unemployed can’t afford to take such lowly paid jobs. Catch 22?
  • Seems that rape is warfare, just as much as it can be part of the punishment. The former gets more sympathy (but again not enough aid), but are they really that different?
  • Project Utopia use cases — an interesting approach to an interesting project. via Kryogenix
  • The great Panther disaster of 2004 — poor guy, but a good read
  • Librarians in love, with added superpowers
