I tackled the question of Apple TV accessibility for AccessWorld, the monthly magazine of the American Federation for the Blind.

One Feed to Rule Them All
Posted in Announcements, and Pods and Presos
You, dear reader, are used to seeing plugs for my podcast appearances here. That is a somewhat boring way to use a perfectly good blog, but I do like to get the word out, and I sometimes forget to post. I’m trying a new thing: a meter feed of podcasts on which I appear. You can subscribe to the feed, or to individual shows, which would be the more normal way to consume the noise…
The Parallel Returns
Posted in Announcements, and Pods and Presos
I had a great time making a new episode of The Parallel, with awesome guests Jason Snell and Joe Steinkamp. We chat about one of my favorite subjects, the art (or craft) of podcasting itself. How very meta of us.
Time for another podcast appearance update. I’ve been doing a lot of recording. Maccesibility Roundtable covers iWork, Apple earnings, Apple TV, and new Apple hardware and software, in recent episodes. This week, I joined the Clockwise crew for a bit of a chat about the iPad Pro, Mac App Store glitches, and the demise of RDio. Last but not least, I have been doing a little project in celebration of NaPodPoMo. Or as I like to call…
Hey, I’m Writing for AccessWorld
Posted in Access and Disability, Announcements, and New Media and Tech
I’m very excited to let you know that I’ve signed on as a contributor to the American Foundation for the Blind’s highly-regarded technology magazine, AccessWorld. My beats include tech products for low-vision users, and mobile stuff for both Android and iOS. My first piece is a review of the Revolution 22’, a hybrid consisting of a video magnifier and an Android tablet. It’s so much fun to be doing product reviews again!
Backdated Self-Promotion
Posted in General Store
A couple of things got by me on the self-promotion schedule. And, fair warning, there are more links coming. I’ve been doing a lot of writing and talking lately, and the products of those efforts tend to drop out of the sky in weird little clumps. This week, I’ve been working on the update to my book, iOS Access for All: Your Comprehensive Guide to Accessibility for iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch. I announced the…
My friends at Apple, for I must surely call any organization that has taken so much of my money in exchanged for shiny objects a friend, announced a lot of new shiny objects this week. And so, I podcasted about them on my own show, on a show where I’m a regular, and as a guest on someone else’s show. Minimum show length? 1 hour. That’s the one I produced and edited. You’re welcome! But…
This Week in Podcasts
Posted in Pods and Presos
Dan Moren and Jason Snell were kind enough to invite me back on the Clockwise podcast for episode #102. Most of today’s topics come down to Apple in the entertainment realm. I also got to plug The Parallel to a new audience. Instead of recording the Maccessibility Roundtable as usual tomorrow, we will do a show immediately after Tim Cook and company reveal their secrets, next Wednesday. So join us on the stream, and on Twitter with…
Back in the Saddle: Check Out My New Podcast
Posted in Access and Disability, Announcements, New Media and Tech, and Pods and Presos
Lately, I’ve been rediscovering my love of podcasting. For those of you who don’t know, and that includes a surprising number of friends and colleagues, I produced my first podcast in 2004, and continued to make shows on the regular for the better part of the next nine years. I have guested on many podcasts, and was active in the first wave podcasting community; the enthusiasts and semi-pros who congregated at the first few New…
This is how we kill time until Apple’s next announcement. Actually, it was an interesting show. But we are waiting for the folks in Cupertino. Maccessibility Roundtable #91 Too. I occasionally write on this blog. Check it out if you would.
