A $6 million settlement was announced yesterday— perhaps this signals an era where more attention will be paid to web accessibility?

Next week, the University of Minnesota's Web Standards & Accessibility Workgroup will be discussing the mobile web experience and how to design / style / optimize for mobile users and their various devices.

We meet in 402 Walter Library. Meetings are open to the public, so we invite anyone who is interested to attend (no RSVP is necessary). Date and time: July 18, noon-1:30 p.m.

I have my good friend and colleague Tim Kunau to thank for referring me to TED Talks. Today, I'm watching a great one about the history of computing. Enjoy, and be enlightened.

I will be co-presenting with Colin McFadden at this ACUI / NACAS conference in August. Working title: Agile and Accessible Web Communications.

Flashbelt this year was fabulous— this is the third year I have attended. Kudos to Dave Schroeder; he not only puts together an amazing conference, but makes it look fun enough that he was the one who inspired me to get into the conference biz last year with MinneWebCon (and he was a key advisor for us with that event).

Highlights of this year include a return visit by Jared Tarbell; a user-centered design session by Jason Sack of space150 (who presented at MinneWebCon, but I was too busy managing to pay attention); and a great session on accessible Flash enhancements.

More details to follow...and hopefully some more links, if their presentations make it online. =)
