Screen Magnification Software

Carol Karon’s Introduction to Screen Magnifier Software (in this case ZoomText) over at Yahoo! is well worth a viewing. Its interesting to observe the way she uses the software to interact with sites – particularly the various options and emphasis on different types of vision impairment and how they affect user interaction and user needs. I like these videos because they go farther than is possible in showing people the importance of high quality code and good interface design.

More Yahoo! Theatre videos are available on the Yahoo! User Interface Blog.

Currently Reading The Accidental Guerrilla by David Kilcullen

Late last year I watched an address to the Australian National Press Club from counter-terrorism expert and author of The Accidental Guerrilla: Fighting Small Wars in the Midst of a Big One , David Kilcullen. In that address he mentioned the period after World War 2 when, in retrospect, we had wars against colonialisation as countries pushed back against dominating forces. Similarly, when we look back at the current wars we’ll see them as wars against globalisation – people pushing back against the tide of world wide Americanisation and globalised culture. David Kilcullen is there to inform us that what the American government are group-labeling global terrorists are more often than not local insurgents with local concerns. Understanding this crucial point and unraveling the complexity of the enemy is crucial to America's success in the field.
