    Thanks for bringing in the transcripts.

    It would be fabulous to have these vids captioned. Benefits include (from Silverman’s Ten Reasons to Caption Your Web Videos):

    Captions compensate for noisy backgrounds or where sound isn’t allowed.

    They provide a solution for poor audio quality.

    Quickly browse the video by reading the associated text as you drag the controller as the captions are always visible.

    Everyone can see the correct spellings of people, places, and things.

    Catch details that normally slide by unnoticed.

    Meet or exceed the W3C Web Accessibility Guidelines adapted by many state, provincial and federal governments.

    Captions can become part of a search engine.

    Provide additional support for people who are learning English as a second language.

    Make your content fully accessible to people who have hearing loss.

    Video on the web or media player can even look better when the captioning is on.

    I’d love to see captioned videos of these talks! Am concerned this hasn’t happened. Would be good to see this group meet wcag2 single A requirements.

  3. Tired of getting low amounts of useless traffic to your website? Well i wish to let you know about a fresh underground tactic that produces myself $900 per day on 100% AUTOPILOT. I could be here all day and going into detail but why dont you merely check their site out? There is really a excellent video that explains everything. So if your serious about making quick money this is the website for you. Auto Traffic Avalanche

    Definitely, there’s nothing any person can do about that.

  5. I’m going to watch you in twitter and I hope I could read more of something similar to this.

    I wonder if some of this data might have been duplicated from elsewhere, it’s all over the web and other peoples websites, unless you’re the content’s author?
