The following articles contain details and transcripts of most of my presentations and talks that I have delivered. Additional presentation slide sets can be found also on Slideshare
The following is an approximate transcript of the talk – “Outta time, scope, and we fixed that already – Is there a Disconnect” I gave at the 2011 OzeWAI conference in late November 2011. As usual the slide deck is on Slideshare.
I also have a collection of sketch notes from OzeWAI 2011, as I find it easier to sketch the talk than take notes.

I have been involved with the Australian Web Awards for three years now. Over those three years I have noticed an alarming trend in the results. An almost disconnect from the Australian Web Industry in terms of accessibility.
Let’s get some reality on the web accessibility debate.
We all know about WCAG 1, we have all at least had a look at the associated checklists. If you are lucky you may have glanced at WCAG 2.
We all have been developing and designing our sites with semantic content, in compliance with W3C guidelines, using progressive enhancement for the interactive components, unobtrusive Javascript, and graceful degradation of the pages for legacy browsers. Maybe used some of the attributes of ARIA. Sure that’s a no brainer.
We know that doing this will solve most of the accessibility issues.

Last week I had the pleasure of speaking at the Edge of the Web conference in Perth on UX Architecture for the Small Guy. I will do a brief write up on the conference shortly, so standby on that one, but for now on with the talk.
Why this Topic
Too often I have been to various conferences and I have heard from some very experienced UX people discussing numerous case studies of projects. All of them have one thing in common – large budgets or large teams. Frankly these are not the projects that happen from day to day in Perth. But they appear to be the mainstay of the UX designer, one gets the impression they are the general bread and butter in some parts of the world.
This year I was honoured to be given the opportunity to speak at OZ-IA 2009. I will also be speaking at the Edge of the Web 2009 in November for the first time, right after the keynote, talk about pressure!
The following is my initial transcript of my presentation at OZ-IA 2009, The Art of Skywriting – The Demise of the Tag Cloud.
Now it’s not going to be word for word the same as the audio recording, but you’ll get the idea. As usual it’s also available on Slideshare along with all my other presentations, distributed under creative commons license. Soon as I have the audio I will sync it with the slides to make it easier to understand – promise.
