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 […]
SXSW – Day 2
I skipped the opening party but heard my fellow SXSW attendees stumbling into the hotel at 2:45am! Guess it was another great party by Frog Design! I started Day 2 by attending iPad Design Headaches. Unfortunately the sound quality in the room was bad and it was hard to hear. Although 10 minutes in and […]
