Sorry to have missed @DanAlbas @RonCannan & @jkenney. Hopefully partook in interior BC’s culture, and can see Kelowna’s global potential.

I love leaving Canada where it is 26 degrees to come to San Francisco where it is 13 degrees. Glad I brought a “parka”.

As a “youth” I did read 100 Years of Solitude and was absolutely FLOORED by it. @HollyGoDarkly #fistbump

Funny that NONE of these books were assigned… And in fact, I have only read Earthsea, 1984, and Candide, all as an adult.

Lots of options. Even Yodobashi and Bic Camera are selling them now… this is gonna be easy-peasy. Thanks for the info!

Its unlocked. Global Advanced looks good for short term… 2 months will be about ３万… Seems expensive…

The wife and kids leave in about 10 days and Softbank won’t restart her old pre-K so I am looking for a SIM.

Hey have you been to J-land recently Jim? Any idea on what to do for a SIM for iPhone 4 for a 2 month stay? @camcavers

@1rick @camcavers Guys, what are my choices for a SIM to fit my iPhone 4 for a 2 month stay in Japan these days? It’s been a couple years…

Once again, this is NOT what I am proposing. Let me write up the thoughts and get back to you all.

I am talking about an OPT IN system, so legal shouldn’t be an issue. I am still considering the privacy implications.

Replying to @dylanbarrell
Totally not the goal. Do you remember the push to stop people using Flash on their sites a few years ago? aka. online protest…
(original)
-
Replying to @dylanbarrell
My goal is simply to get MORE sites accessible… and this could be a way to raise awareness. I don’t want to compromise users.

Replying to @dylanbarrell
So, what are the challenges and concerns with logging that type of metadata? That is what I want to learn about. @webaxe
(original)
-
Replying to @dylanbarrell
If sites could see in their logs that screenreader make up X% of their browsers, they will become more sensitive to needs, no?
(original)
-
Replying to @dylanbarrell
I’d like to know your concerns before we build anything. Sites are blind to their visitors challenges. Outta sight outta mind.

Replying to @dylanbarrell
Okay, now you have piqued my curiosity… Can we take this convo offline then?
@ted_drake @webaxe

Replying to @ted_drake and @webaxe
For sure. Privacy is a serious issue of course. I might write up a proposal and post it for review from the community.

-
Replying to @ted_drake
Good point about the mobile tho. Apple and Google should be able to share numbers about assistive tech usage @webaxe
(original)
-
Replying to @ted_drake
That is the problem methinks. If more websites could see how many disabled users they had in their logs… @webaxe

Replying to @webaxe
Thanks for the RT… a group of local entrepreneurs/devs came up with the idea this morning and I want to know if it already exists.

@webaxe Have you heard of browser plugins to identify disabled users to Google analytics?
