Support Joe Clark

1 comment

Accessibility expert Joe Clark has started a micropatronage drive to support his ability to support media accessibility projects. I'm particularly interested in the efforts he seeks to support regarding the development of more accessible fonts for captioning. He's up front about what he's looking for — a modest sum of money to allow him to pursue funding for a broader accessibility effort. It's a good idea and Joe is well worth supporting.

If you're not familiar with Joe's work, start by reading his articles published on A List Apart or check out his book. The man knows a thing or two and is willing to stick his neck out to say it.

You can support Joe by giving him a donation via PayPal and/or posting one of his hilarious banners on your website (sorry Joe, I'm not sullying this layout with a banner no matter how funny it is).

Joe's also speaking at the Web Directions North conference in Vancouver in February if you're lucky enough to be there (I barely got in on the early-bird registrations). I'm sure he wouldn't be averse to in-person donations if you happen to run into him there or anywhere else. Good luck Joe.

Daniel Burka

My name is Daniel Burka. I'm a web designer living in San Francisco. Currently, I'm one of the founders of Milk Inc.. For several years I was the creative director at Digg and previous to Milk, I was the director of design at Tiny Speck. I grew up in PEI, Canada, where I was one of the founders of silverorange. Aside from obsessing about interface design and css selectors, I'm a frequently-falling rock climber, a lazy cyclist, and an often out-of-bounds disc golfer.

Summary

I'm a web designer living in San Francisco, California. I sometimes get the chance to present lectures and workshops at conferences around the world, where I speak about iterative design strategies, designing for large online communities, and more broadly about interface design for web applications. I've posted many of the slides from past presentations I've done on Slideshare.

Currently, I'm the director of design at a small gaming startup called Tiny Speck. Until October 2009, I was the creative director at Digg. I was also one of the co-founders of the social content-sharing site Pownce, which is now a part (heh heh) of Six Apart. Back in 1999, I helped found silverorange, a stellar web development and design firm based in Prince Edward Island, Canada. I continue to work with silverorange, but as an inactive partner.
