Newsletter 16-11-2009

Dear friend,

We have to pick our fights on the way to the bank. I love this quote. I wrote a post around it. In other news, also bank related; It’s late and I have a busy week ahead of me. So this week the newsletter is short. I hope you’ll enjoy it nevertheless.

I hope you had a great weekend. Please share this newsletter. To be on the list, just e-mail me: daviddylan@defcon0.com.

Happy web building!

Web accessibility myths

With more and more countries around the world passing laws about blind and disabled access to the Internet (including the Disability Discrimination Act in the UK), web accessibility has been thrown into the spotlight of the online community.
