TempORarily handicapped by handicap sign.
1050 Connecticut Ave NW
Washington, DC
I was just being a polite gentleman and holding the door open for a lady to enter before I left the building. My hand slipped on the glass. The handicap sign you see sliced my little finger and cut into the ring finger too. They have this razor sharp metal glued to each door on both sides. I guess we're making sacrifices to the gods of architecture.
Gosh, just had another thought, I hope this is not intended to satisfy their Section 508 ADA compliance for the Blind.

Jim Thatcher has done more to empower people with disabilities during his career than most medium sized state agencies and non-profit organizations. Jim is often hailed as the father of Web accessibility for his leading efforts to make the internet accessible to everyone.
Jim Thatcher serves as a volunteer with Knowbility, Inc. providing training and consulting on Web accessibility to hundreds of Web developers every year. He has served as a past member of the U.S. Access Board, authoring the accessibility standards under Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. This body of accessibility standards has been adopted by all federal agencies as well as many state and local governments and voluntarily by many private businesses.
Jim Thatcher is an acknowledged expert in his field, who is well-respected, internationally, nationally and locally for his contributions to accessibility of electronic information resources. Whenever people with disabilities successfully access the Web, Jim Thatcher's training, leadership,, consulting and vision for accessibility likely contributed to their access.
Jim Thatcher's historic development at IBM of the first screen reader assistive technology to help blind individuals access the computer, participation as a member of the U.S. Access Board to draft the Section 508 Regulations, and his ongoing effort to train Web developers on accessibility best practices have resulted in a more inclusive life for thousands of citizens with disabilities. Tonight, we celebrate Jim Thatcher's ongoing commitment to improving the lives of people with disabilities with this life-time achievement award.
