FYI - re accessibility and usability - Did you know the US  
government's "Disability.gov" has a blog? Here it is:

Of interest may also be Disability.gov's posting of this on "universal  
design":

I hope I hear from some of you prior to the ADA conference this summer  
where I'll be advocating for more representation by the usability  
engineering community in the development of ADA guidelines where  
digital technology is concerned. Note that in June I'll be hosting a  
conference call/virtual meeting for the BayCHI community Tuesday May  
18th. See the next BayCHI email newsletter for more info.

You can always send me directly whatever you'd like me to share at the  
conference. I've also been given the rather extraordinary opportunity  
to meet one-on-one with Congressman Henry Waxman (you might recall he  
headed up one of the key healthcare reform committees) and I'll use at  
least some of that precious time to make the case for more emphasis on  
usability and usability engineering expertise per the ADA in how and  
what it develops.
