My Travels

I asked a buddy of mine what he would put on his webpage, were he to design one. First thing he noted was a Travelog. So I have shamelessly usurped his idea.

Allons-y!

Christmas Time in Rochester

I don’t get back to Rochester terribly often these days. Off hand, I think I’ve been back five times, three of which were wedding related. No one was getting married this time, but my father turned 81 a few months ago and it had been too long since I’d seen him. My sister and her husband came up from Houston and both of my brothers were in town.

We went to see The Lion King...

But! When I was leaving I noticed some very cool features in the Rochester airport I tweeted (twote?) about. Accessibility features help everyone and should be incorporated from the beginning. This is a new addition to the Rochester airport, but I would love to see these features more widely adopted everywhere. I was in a train station in France and the ground had ridges. It could help the blind, people with low vision, or anyone that would benefit from a tactile response. Universal Design for All!
