In May I attended and spoke at the John Slatin AccessU Conference sponsored by Knowbility. My good friend and retired IBM colleague, Richard Schwerdtfeger, was the keynote speaker. Rich was the Chief Technology Officer of Accessibility for the IBM Software group. He gave a great talk on “Empathy and Leadership, Where have they gone?” Rich […]

CSUN 2016
Wow, it has been an entire year since I have posted in this blog! It must be time to start doing more interesting things in Accessibility again! I spoke on EPUB at CSUN 2016 (short name for the International Technology and Persons with Disability Conference). I promised I would post my presentation. Since Microsoft hasn’t […]
Reflections on CSUN 2015
I attended The 30th Annual International Technology and Persons with Disabilities Conference (known as CSUN) from March 4-6, 2015. I haven’t been to CSUN for several years. I did attend briefly last year but had to leave after my presentation on the first day to attend a funeral. The conference has certainly changed over the […]
Recording a Screen Reader Demo
This is the second post in a series on Capturing and Captioning a Screen Reader Demo. Recording the demo means capturing the video on the screen as well as the audio from the screen reader and my verbal explanations. Since I am using the JAWS screen reader I will be working in Windows 7 via […]
Capturing and Captioning a Screen Reader Demo
I spoke at a conference where I wanted to give a demo of using a web application with the JAWS screen reader. Since I am not an expert screen reader user, I find that it is easier to record the demo rather than trying to give it live. With a recording, I can also post […]
Presentation on HTML5 Accessibility
I presented HTML5 Accessibility at the 5th Annual online Accessibility Summit in September, 2014. I also presented this topic at Knowbility’s AccessU in May, 2014. I have posted a link to a zip file of the slides, the code and media examples, and the captioned versions of the screen reader demos. Note that the captioned […]
Notes from Inclusive Mobility Talk
As promised, here are the notes I made in preparation for my Inclusive Mobility Core Conversation at SXSWi 2011. I didn’t need to rely on these too much as people actively participated and asked questions! General: Talk is about making mobile applications accessible for ALL. Don’t want to just talk about people with disabilities because […]
SXSW – Final Interactive Day
I supported my friends at two accessibility talks today. First was Accessibility for the Visually Impaired: Ground Breaking New Technologies. This featured Michael Cooper from the W3C who I worked with when I was on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines working group. He was asked questions by the panel moderator, Genevieve Wilkins. Michael did a […]
SXSW – Day 4
Started out day 4 with a dynamic presentation by @DrG (Dr. M A Greenstein) call Neurons Speaking!: Design with the Brain in Mind! She was a very dynamic speaker and started by listing the 3 C’s to consider: Creativity Consciousness Collaboration She said she would be talking about three different gaming models – Posit Science […]
SXSW – Day 3
Sorry, these posts are so long winded. I hope they provide at least some useful info! Started the morning at Gueros for breakfast ( I had the Huevos Motuleños) with my accessibility friends – there are many of them based in Austin! Although, I’m not sure it was wise to schedule an 8:00am meet up […]
