Welcome to 'Transmitting to Earth'. I'm Charssun and I'll be your host. This blog and podcast is a byproduct of VoyagerRadio.com and is intended to provide the most timely information about this Internet radio station. It is also intended to be a fun and accessible electronic journal with commentary focusing on Internet radio, podcasting and webcasting issues and technologies, music, and some of my other interests. I also offer personal perspective about being an Internet radio broadcaster (and podcaster).

Speaking of Accessibility...Apple Computer just unveiled a spoken interface for Mac OS X, built-in to the next major release of the operating system. It will assist the blind in using the Mac by reading content, describing the workplace and activities taking place on the computer, and by offering a rich set of keyboard commands. Apple stresses that the feature is "built-in, not bolted-on"--in other words, it's completely integrated into the OS, rather than being added-on as an afterthought.
Often overlooked, accessibility is being paid more attention to these days, due in part to recent changes in the law requiring accessible websites and such--and the law is a great catalyst where there's a lack of altruism. This is not to say that Apple is driven by the law, for it makes perfect business sense for Apple to open up its consumer base to a significant and growing population of consumers. With more people living longer, there are more computer users than ever with failing eyesight; fortunately, Steve Jobs' vision continues to prevail in his ongoing attention to consumers' needs. Dive Into Mark has an insider's look at Apple's latest development, as well as a list of resources regarding this issue. Even if you have perfect vision, you should really pay attention to this stuff, for who knows what kind of damage years of staring into a monitor will bring--even you may go blind someday. Isn't it nice to know that you'll still be able to use your Mac?
