Wendy Chisholm is an accessibility expert based in Seattle whom I've known for about a year. She co-edited the W3C's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0, among other projects.
At long last, she's launched her blog, and I think it will be become a great resource for everyone interested in accessibility, human factors, web standards, and standards-based web services. And everyone who works in the interactive space should be interested in that stuff.
Here's a bit about Wendy's history prior to her work with the W3C:
[Wendy] got her start in accessibility during her undergraduate work in Computer Science and Psychology at Elmhurst College. As a statistics tutor for a student who was blind, she used a variety of media to create tactile teaching tools: legos, pins and paper, sand, and other materials. She also worked at an after school respite program for people with autism and coached them to 3 silver medals in their regional Special Olympics.
You can read her full bio on the W3C site.
