June 24 — Frederick Allan Fay calls the Internet "the most empowering tool of my lifetime." One of the country's leading disability-rights activists, Mr. Fay, 54 years old, spends almost all of his time confined to a motorized bed. Story continues at: http://www.msnbc.com/news/283365.asp Links to: Justice For All E-Mail Network site Cleveland Signstage Theatre site United States Quad Rugby Association site AbleNet Foundation site National Alliance for the Disabled site World Wide Community for the Disabled No particular mention of web accessibility issues or the WAI; it does state "While the ADA guarantees equal opportunities in the workplace and access to public spaces, cyberspace is a realm where few special accommodations need to be made." (Which is half true and half not, in my opinion.) Will be adding this to the AWARE Center media tracking page soon. -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@idyllmtn.com> http://www.kynn.com/ Chief Technologist, Idyll Mountain Internet http://www.idyllmtn.com/ Catch the Web Accessibility Meme! http://aware.hwg.org/ Next Online Course starts August 2 http://www.kynn.com/+nextclass
