I got spammed in my comments, by someone from IP 61.181.5.155 (CHINANET Tianjin province network, administrative contact Dongmei Kou). I’m not quite sure what to do about it – I’ve banned the IP, but that’s not going to help. It was very explicit – not the “nice article, keep up the good work. lookup zip [...]
Disabled-access fixes too costly, says retailer Renovation improves access for disabled fans SDSU creates Web site to assist disabled Sea-Tac makes it easier to get disabled travelers to the airport More Metro churches minister to deaf, blind And in the honorary iBot category… Japan ready to market “robot suit”

I’ve had this account all year and this has been [...]
From Sunday’s Denver Post: Disabled See Barriers in Pueblo – a pretty balanced overview of cities’ obligations under the ADA.
