To Jim I really like things where a message is delivered in a gentle way but grabs your attention. This works really well and I'm looking forwad to seeing the final cut. Incidentally while on the topic of web accessibility videos, the Australian government has just released one very recently as part of its National Transition Strategy (NTS) which is aiming for WCAG 2.0 A by the end of the year, and AA by the end of 2014 for all Australian government websites. This video is a very cool way to presenting some web accessibility concepts and is unusually cool for something produced by the government! The video is located at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEM9Fn9aOG8&feature=youtu.be Unfortunately there's no audio described version but there is a text description on an audio file: http://resources.fahcsia.gov.au/videos/web_accessibility_video.mp3 Scott.

Who is the vocalist? I liked the described audio. Is it captioned? I could see this being played immediately before a presentation, as folks come into a room, or during breaks in a loop. Unsure of your timing, but if you could launch this on May 9 (I know it's close) to coincide with Global Accessibility Awareness Day, that would be great. If not, I look forward to it going live, and to getting folks watching/listening. This is another way to reach people (especially jazz lovers) who wouldn't ordinarily get our attention.
