Mashed 2008 presentations

Since Mashed Yahoo employee Chris Heilmann has been thinking hard about pragmatic web accessibility. So much, that he's setup Scripting Enabled, a conference breaking down the barriers between disabled users and the social web. "Its a chance to giving ethical hackers real world issues to solve", says Chris. "We talked about improving the accessibility of the web for a long time - let's not wait, let's make it happen"

While at d.construct we got a chance to sit down with him and catch him on camera. Once with myself and second time with the legendary Bill Thompson. It was during the d.construct conference, so expect some background noise.
