accessible websites by casey glass
About Casey:
A web strategy specialist with extensive experience in web accessibility, user experience, website design, production and management.
I am passionate about improving the accessibility and usability of information on the web through engaging user experiences that work for both users and businesses.
I saw this on Cameron Adams blog & had to share it. Cameron has created some excellent resources over the years, my favourite being his resolution independent layout script.
Instant messaging like interface for Australian Federal Government Hansard reports
I thought this was a great way to get people more engaged in politics. It reads a bit like a forum flame war in some of them, with the Speaker being the forum moderator.
The rest of the site has some excellent features - especially for tracking your local member’s activity in parliament.
I got an iPhone 3G
I had it less than a month and then I Jailbroke it.
Now it has MMS, video recording and wireless GMail syncing it’s at least five times more awesome than it was before.
Which got me starting on thinking about hacking the Apple TV too…
Mental Models - Aligning design strategy with human behaviour
I read “Mental Models” by Indi Young a few months ago (I got it for my birthday), and have been meaning to post a recommendation on here.
This is an excellent book on practical user research methodology and aligning your project goals with what your audience/users do, rather than trying to bend them to your way of doing things.
It makes sense doesn’t it?
