RantWoman invites readers to celebrate Global Accessibility Awareness Day 2015.
1. Tidings from the official #GAAD website that henceforthe the day will be observed on the third Thursday in May. RantWoman particularly invites readers to check out the events listed for Bellevue WA!

2. Last year RantWoman devoted her Global Accessibility Awareness Day observance to ... howling about a frustrating accessibility fail. RantWoman also forgot to include the disclaimer that she is not the most sophisticated user of her assistive technology tools ever to lay fingers to keyboard. When RantWoman encounters a spectacular fail, she sometimes hand the issue off to people who are more adept with the tools. RantWoman has no idea why she did not do that last year. Consider RantWoman disclaimed in retrospect.
3. RantWoman is shamelessly reprinting an entire item that came to her in email. RantWoman attended on Deque Systems webinar and was very impressed by its honest and practical orientation. RantWoman heartily recommends the webinars offered below and will TRY to attend to the one about accessible documents herself! Enjoy!
