Yes, more stuff about accessibility
By way of Amor Mundi, I found a link to this really interesting site called, the Open Prothesthics Project. This is nifty to me on several levels.
- It ties into accessibility and assistive technology.
- It ties into open source engineering. GPL doesn't have to be just about software.
- It can tie into stuff like fab labs. Imagine if doctors in poor countries had access to open sourced designs and fab labs to build limbs for mine victims.
- This is the kind of grass-roots, human empowerment that flies in the face of gloom and doom.
In a vaguely related sense I have some other accessibility links.
- Game Accessibility is a site that focuses on making software games accessible to people with disabilities. Remember when I wrote about that kid, blind from birth, who totally conquered Mortal Kombat, Soul Caliber?
- Then of course there are the obligatory accessible web design links I'm so found of listing here--How to embed Adobe Flash objects correctly and one way to do web page tabs correctly.
