Here's a young woman, born with cerebral palsy, who draws holding a pen between her toes, and does web design with a foot controlled mouse and a head stylus to type on the keyboard. Here computer speaks for her in a natural sounding voice. Think of the possibilities if we could bring out the artist in all people. How do you express your creative side?

What is that TinyURL notation that you see in my blog? For those who use a screen reader, the link that is hidden behind words like Tech Psychologist Guide remains hidden. However, screen readers can read aloud the website address, or URL, if it was produced by TinyURL.com. Also, sometimes these addresses are so long that they wrap around several lines or overlap into colored areas of a website that obscure the actual address. Intrigued? You can create your own tinyurl's at http://tinyurl.com
