Australia forgets about Accessibility?

Melbourne 2011 - No Road Sign

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.

…oΦOΦo…

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.

UX Architecture for the Small Guy

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.

Demise of Tag Clouds

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.

Was it good for you too honey

This is the presentation given on Wednesday 24th June 2009 to the Perth Branch of the Silverlight Developer and Designer Network.  The slidedeck isn’t going to make much sense without the transcript below. Just be aware of that if you are slide deck with out following with this transcripts.

Let’s ground this a little and get real before we even start.

To often we design web sites and applications with a limited amount of information and specifications as to what is really is required. It’s a fact. Let’s not stand around and pretend otherwise.
