  1. @webaxe My wife just asked, "WHAT are you watching!?!" It sounds NSFW. I think she was more disappointed I said "Twilight" than "Porn". :-)
  2. @Jennison Nope, 1st class also. But they only let the 1 ticketed 1st class passenger sit up there. A VERY quiet flight.
  3. Finally boarded. Now deicing. MD90 seats 150, but only 7 passengers onboard. Next stop — my own bed. http://twitpic.com/pfu9s
  4. Gov 2.0: Transparency without accessibility? - http://is.gd/4UC5b I'm quoted on page 3, though I think better technical rules will help.
  5. I survived the snowstorm of #ahg09, but still missed my flight by 3 minutes. Next/last flight in 30 minutes, but plane broken.
  6. An hour on road and only 1/2 way to airport. If leaving tonight, leave EARLY! I-70 a parking lot. It's been fun #ahg09. C-ya next year.
  7. Insights into Cognitive Web Accessibility. PDF Slides: http://is.gd/4UwKs Slideshare: http://is.gd/4UwLr #ahg09
  8. @johnfoliot +1 Give me some meat... and I'm not just talking about the panel discussion. #ahg09
  9. The usability and design enhancements to americanairlines.com are incredible! Nice work AA! (Yes, I know it 404's. But do they? Nope!)
  10. Accessibility Evaluation resources: Accessibility Quick Reference - http://is.gd/4Uqvj & Evaluation Quick Ref - http://is.gd/4UqwA #ahg09
  11. RT @sarahebourne Too hard is the worst excuse - http://tinyurl.com/yzbtq6h (Absolutely! A very good read!)
  12. @mwcampbell1980 ARIA will compatible with and part of HTML5, so no problem there. The issue is validation of HTML4 + ARIA.
  13. RT @webaxe using HTML5 is a solution to the ARIA validation conflict. (Indeed. But it precludes adding landmarks, etc. to HTML 4 today.)
  14. Amazed one of my slides (http://is.gd/4UjpU) has spawned such controversy and discussion. Discussion is good. A solution would be better.
  15. An amazing day at #ahg09. I'm energized seeing the human impact of accessibility and that maybe, somehow we're effecting change for good.
  16. The more accurate quote would be: Jared says, "Focus on true accessibility and not *MERELY* compliance."
  17. @SlideShare_Dan The presence of outline:0 supresses focus indicators. Simply add a:focus {outline:1px} to site and you're golden.
  18. @SlideShare_Dan No, if you tab through the page with a keyboard, you can't see focused links - http://bit.ly/kFzkW
  19. #ahg09 Tweetup - Tonight, 7:15 in the lobby, then 7:30 (or whenever) at Rock Bottom (1 block walk around the pond).
  20. ... hopefully @slideshare will read the slide about hiding focus indicators - http://is.gd/4TJWE
