HTML5 and web accessibility: is there hope for inclusion?
For those of us who have been asserting that web accessibility must be "built-in not bolt-on", the prospect of the much awaited changes to HTML, the technical specification that is the foundation for all websites, has filled us with great hope.
CSUN11, the Tribe Vibe and the big Web Accessibility debate
The second leg of my self-titled US Tour was in sunny San Diego at CSUN, the international conference about technology for disabled people. However, this description does CSUN a disservice, as it is just so much more.
Web accessibility and human rights: is the Internet the great equaliser?
December 10, 1948 is the most important day in the calendar of civil society. It is the day that the United Nations set out the rights and freedoms, which all humans should be afforded, in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Sadly, we are far from achieving these as a race overall. It is understandable where non-democratic governments still prevail, but where democracy rules, why are we still failing?

Making a big difference - access, accessibility and beyond
In my recent travels in cyberspace (or in writing this blog, using Twitter and doing what I do for a living, for those of you who do not get geek humour), I have met three completely incredible people who do different jobs in different organisations, but what they have in common is that they have been working tirelessly for many, many years to help make technology accessible to disabled people.
