Back in March, our friend Jason (the one with the book), was a guest on The Agenda with Steve Paikin. During the segment he talked about that book, and also shared some stories from his rather interesting life. You can watch it here: Jason Dunkerley was born with a condition that has rendered him blind …

Celebrated Canadian Paralympic Athlete And All Around Good Dude Writes Autobiography
Got an email this morning from our good friend Jason Dunkerley, whose name has come up here a time or two through the years and who is almost certainly involved in a few of the stories where names are missing. For several years he’s been working on and off at writing a book about his …

If you’ve got 10 or so minutes to burn and feel like sharing your experiences with various aspects of web accessibility, then today is your day, my friend.

Carin Is Presenting AT CSUN 2023
If you’re at the CSUN conference this week, you may not be reading this because looking at that schedule of events tells me that holy crap, there’s a lot going on down there. But if you have managed to find a couple minutes of free time to play around on the internet, allow me to …

I had heard about these boxes of chocolates with a Braille legend, so you can tell what chocolates you’re eating. I snuck off to my computer …

Girls Just Want A Banana Boat
I feel fairly confident that this would not be an idea I would ever have, but I’m glad someone did. Thanks for tossing it my way, Barb. Incidentally, I feel like a bad friend. I don’t think I’ve ever plugged Barb’s World’s Bliss radio show even though she’s been on the air for like two …
Singing Together Alone
Whoever edited this together is magical, and whoever came up with the idea is also magical. Heck, everyone who participated in this is amazing. Someone I know from book club is part of a choir, and that choir was one of five that participated in this great big project where everyone sang a particular piece …
