Tonight, on the Assistive Technology Show, we'll look at accessible ways to pay your bills.  Do you use a program to print out checks?  Your bank's online

and any other assistive technology, or technology-related questions you may have and join me, tonight between 7:00-9:00 PM, EST, for this week's edition

Imagine being able to type in a web address from virtually any PC and have speech access to that machine?  No need to install DCM drivers, no need to install
really anything, not even a USB drive, and still have full access?  Tonight, on the Assistive Technology Show, we'll look at Serotek's newest, incredibly
amazing product, System Access To Go.  Although still in beta, System Access to Go is one of the most impressive products that I've seen in a long while. 
Serotek's use of the web to deliver access solutions could mark a fantastic new way of doing things.

As always, we'll do our best to answer any assistive technology, or technology-related questions, so come join me, tonight, between 7:00-9:00 PM, EST for
this week's edition of the Assistive Technology Show!

Tonight, on the Assistive Technology Show, we'll bring you the second part of our two part blogging series.  Do you have something you want to share with
the rest of the world?  Maybe you've done some interesting things in your life, have taken interesting trips, or just think you're doing something the
world would love to read about.  Tonight, we'll show how you can write your very own blog.  I'll demonstrate two popular blogging sites and will go through
the process of writing and publishing a blog.  Blogging not your thing?  Come anyway, as we always do our best to answer any assistive technology, or technology
related question you may have.

So, what the heck is a blog anyway?  Well, they're informative, interesting, often entertaining, pretty darned addictive and very accessible.  Basically,
a blog is like a web-based journal, or diary.  Anyone can write a blog about their life, happenings in their family, their trek across Africa, or anything
else that they feel might be of interest to others.  In addition to individuals, companies are using blogs to inform consumers about the development of
new products and services.
Tonight, we'll talk about blogs, how to find them, how to read them and ways to organize multiple blogs for easier and more efficient reading.  So, if you're
a blog reader with a blog you think might be of interest, are curious about blogging, are currently a blog reader and want to learn how to more efficiently
access multiple blogs, or just want to learn something new, come join me, between 7:00-9:00 PM, tonight for this week's edition of the Assistive Technology
Show!  Oh, one more thing, it wouldn't be fun to do a show on blogging without myself having a blog to share, so I've decided to start a new assistive
technology blog.  In my new blog, I'll be talking about the accessibility of hardware, software and of course web sites.  I'm hoping that it will be an
informative resource and the basis for discussions to come.

Tonight, on the Assistive Technology Show, we'll go on an Easter egg hunt -- a digital Easter egg hunt!  So, what the heck is a idgital Easter egg?  Often,
programmers add undocumented and hidden features to their programs that can be activated by entering a special code, or by doing something specific.  These
hidden features often add functionality to a program, are a program within a program, or do something that's just plain cool.  And of course, these hidden
aspects of a program are called Easter eggs.  Tonight, I'll demonstrate some Easter eggs found in common programs and show you how to access them.  So,
bring any Easter eggs you may know about, or questions you may have and come join me, between 7:00-9:00 PM, EST for tonight's edition of the Assistive
Technology Show!

Tonight, on the Assistive Technology Show, we'll discuss a topic that many folks ask me about -- routers, dsl/cable modems, IP addresses and what the heck
does it all mean anyway?  As one of my clients so eloquently put it, "I have all this crap on my desk and have no clue what the hell any of it does." 
I as non technical a way as possible, I'll explain the relationship between these devices, so you can better understand that tangle of wires that may have
sprouted up since you got broadband.
In addition, I'm here to answer any other At-related, or technology-related questions you may have, so come join me, between 7:00-9:00 PM for this week's
edition of the Assistive Technology Show!

can you go back?  In addition to your questions concerning assistive technology and technology in general, these are some of the topics we'll be exploring
on tonight's program, so come join me, between 7:00-9:00 PM, EST for this week's edition of the Assistive Technology Show!

Tonight, on the Assistive Technology Show, we'll be talking about digital audio and various programs you can use to create it.  Do you have a CD collection
you'd like to convert to digital audio thereby giving you fast access to your music from your PC?  Are you confused with the many existing audio formats
out there, MP3, egg, aac, aacplus, mp4, etc...?  What about playing all that music after you've spent the time digitizing it?
As always, we'll also be taking your questions about assistive technology, or technology in general, so come join me, between 7:00-9:00 PM, EST tonight
for this week's edition of the Assistive Technology Show!

Come join me, between 7:00-9:00 PM, EST for this evening's edition of the Assistive Technology Show!  I don't know about you, but I often get Emails with
annoying greater than signs proceeding each line and as a screen reader user, I find it incredibly frustrating.  Sadly, many good jokes and probably other
emails have found their way to my deleted items folder simply because I didn't want to hear the greater than greater than greater than message proceeding
each line of text.  OK, I know that speech settings can be altered to stop the reading of all that ridiculous punctuation, but don't you feel guilty forwarding
the Email on knowing that the recipient will have to deal with it?  Tonight, I'll be discussing a freeware program I've found that helps eliminate all
those pesky greater than signs making Emails much more readable.  Of course your questions about adaptive technology, or technology in general are always
welcome, so come join me, between 7:00-9:00 PM, EST tonight for this week's edition of the Assistive Technology Show!
