Now, here's the thing. It makes a lot of sense for those with sight impairment to go after a major website like Target. But look at those words closely: MAJOR. Any company that has a MAJOR website with tons of traffic should have some social duty to help the impaired. Minor websites (like yours truly) require too much maintenance because only one poor soul can work on it at a time.

I hope for God's sake that the people in California for once make a sensible decision and only put the restriction on certain websites. I think if they used some measurement, it ought to be something like only the first 200-300 top traffic sites in California should be forced to operate like this. I don't think that's unreasonable and hopefully the people with visual impairment realize that sometimes they can't always have their cake and eat it too. Either that or put the burden on the users' browsers rather than the websites themselves.]]> Sun, 14 Oct 2007 10:47:42 -0600 http://www.keithwatanabe.net/blogs/2007/10/14/4113a82b6796afe746370d34b48777e6.html http://www.keithwatanabe.net/blogs/2008/5/18/0d9f80b00a86b36d50ba4518523e5795.html
This whole thing is making me think just how burnt out of Tokyo I am. Sure, the work is okay, my co-workers are fine, etc. but there's something missing. I've always said that I would prefer if .jp was adjacent to Los Angeles such that I could take a bridge and just drive to Tokyo on the weekends. Instead of having that little shitty Tiajuana place, give us a nice city for people like me to hang out (hmmm....just to think about it....it would be pretty interesting if the Japanese and people in Mexico could exchange geographic locations. That would be kinda cool in reality).

Anyway, forgetting the exorbitant gas prices, the political mess and other screw ups going on in the states, I want to be back. I guess .jp just isn't fun for me anymore....]]> Sun, 18 May 2008 15:50:11 -0600 http://www.keithwatanabe.net/blogs/2008/5/18/0d9f80b00a86b36d50ba4518523e5795.html
