Hello World

It seems appropriate to open this blog with a picture of a notebook that a friend recently bought for me.

Do we change the world in Standards Development or are we just sensing ongoing changes and taking advantage of them, or "helping them along"?

I like to think those of us who work in Technical Standards for Accessibility bear witness to things that need to change to enable an inclusive world where all have the same opportunities and all have the respect of all others. Maybe that's idealistic but I'd like to live in an inclusive world because I believe we will *all* be happier in such a world. I can't change people or the world but if I act to point out where doing things differently would improve equality of access for all maybe some people will hear and wake up. And its fun.
