WCAG 2.2 is published! Congrats to the Working Group! w3.org/TR/2023/REC-WC…
MY LATEST: Ahead of GAAD tomorrow, Adobe today announced a so-called "Auto-Tag API" that it says should help make PDF docs more accessible. I talked with Adobe's senior product manager for accessibility Rob Haverty this week all about the new tool. forbes.com/sites/stevenaq…
Latest update to #adobefirefly addresses many accessibility issues. Let us know how we can improve further because there should be no barriers to creativity.
SCOOP: Adobe today released results of its 2nd annul study looking at how social media + other digital tools help amplify awareness of disabled people. I talked to Adobe accessibility boss @awkawk all about it in an exclusive interview for my column. forbes.com/sites/stevenaq…
Shoutout to @KevinHart4real for raising a little awareness about vertigo at #adobemax sneaks!

David Murphy has given the last 20+ years to the students of Medway. Ask any student or alum about him and you will be met with a story of a kind, generous,caring, witty, and passionate teacher. He is not one of the good ones, but one of the all time greats #MurphStrong
