You may not be aware of what I’m about to tell you. If you’ve ever posted a comment on this blog or others like it, you know, but if you haven’t you best listen up.
In order for one to post a comment in response to a blog post, one must type a sequence of letters in the correct order. I haven no idea why this is. Presumably if I was able to type a coherent comment I should be able to correctly copy these random letters, no? Wrong. The squiggly font and my slight case of dyslexia actually make this a difficult task. More than once I’ve entered what I thought were the correct letters in the correct order only to be told that the sequence I entered was incorrect. I’m then given the chance to re-submit my comment with a different, “easier” sequence of letters.
Here’s what I don’t get: If I can be given a simple sequence of letters, why isn’t the simple sequence given to me from the beginning? I didn’t realize mental distress and retinal strain was necessary to tell someone I agree that Yael Naim's "New Soul" should be the song of this summer.

I'm so sorry that this caused you distress! Oh no! :( There is some interesting literature out there about Web accessibility that I ran across in the fall when studying urban design for the handicapped.
I'll call you back tomorrow -- my phone wouldn't let me access my messages for some reason. I am excited to talk with you! :)
