about neon epiphany
Yukino, twenty-something, incurable aesthete, lives in Seattle.

This site is powered by the wonderful Movable Type 4.0-rc1, by Ben and Mena Trott.
All HTML was coded, somewhat masochistically, by hand in vi. Graphics were created with Adobe Photoshop CS for Windows. Occasional photos snapped with a sometimes-functional Canon Powershot S400 or a Pentax Optio X digital camera.
In addition, the following plug-ins and hacks are currently in use:
- Definitely the best thing since sliced bread, Brad Choate's SpamLookup 2.0 is valiantly fighting spam behind the scenes.
- John Gruber's SmartyPants 1.5.1 plug-in converts quote marks, dashes and ellipses in site content into their typographically correct equivalents.
- Neil Turner's PHP-TypeKey implementation makes comment registration available to non-javascript-enabled browsers, and also speeds up the loading of entry pages.
- Adam Kalsey's SimpleComments 1.32 plug-in combines entry comments and trackback pings into a single interface.
- Kevin Shay's Compare 1.1 plug-in opens the door for some nifty template hacking.
- David Raynes' MultiBlog plug-in lets me share template data between neon epiphany and the annex.
- Jim Flanagan's original Zeitgeist script, with modifications, is used to generate neon epiphany's Zeitgeist.

accessibility statement
This site has been retrofitted according to many of the guidelines at Mark Pilgrim's Dive Into Accessibility. The following text, much of which was shamelessly swiped verbatim from that site, will serve as neon epiphany's official accessibility statement.
Access keys
Most browsers support jumping to specific links by typing keys defined on the web site. On Windows, you can press ALT + an access key; on Macintosh, you can press Control + an access key.
All pages on this site define the following access keys:
- Access key 1 - Home page
- Access key 4 - Search
- Access key 8 - Terms of use
- Access key 0 - Accessibility statement
Navigation aids
All pages have rel=previous, next, up, and home links to aid navigation in text-only browsers. Netscape 6 and Mozilla users can also take advantage of this feature by selecting the View menu, Show/Hide, Site Navigation Bar, Show Only As Needed (or Show Always).
All pages have access to search, whether via an embedded search form or a link to the advanced search page (in both cases, reachable via access key 4).
Links
Links are (hopefully) written to make sense out of context.
Images
All content images used in this site include descriptive ALT attributes. Purely decorative graphics include null ALT attributes.
