Photos from Latvia

We’re back from Latvia, and I’ve uploaded some photos here.

NASA plans base on the moon

BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | US plans for Moon base

NASA announced today they’re planning a base on the moon. This is very exciting, but it made me think of the recent Audi ad, which pointed out that the A6 had more patent applications associated with it than the all time record for NASA. Perhaps they [...]

Most websites fail people with disabilities

From the BBC News and here a study launched to coincide with the International Day of Disabled Persons has looked at top sites across a range of business sectors and found that only 3 complied in the most basic way with WAI Priority 1. They write that:

93% did not provide adequate text descriptions for graphical [...]
