[BlindMath] TeX Hour tomorrow: Monitors large, small, none and many

[Jonathan Fine]

Hi

Aside: I think LaTeX's passion for PDF hinders accessibility, and thus
doing monitors right will end up helping not only the visually impaired but
also the blind!

Typography is about writing and reading. A 4K television is also a large
computer monitor. A mobile phone is a small monitor. Blind people
effectively have no monitor. A zoom presentation has many monitors, can't
we do better than screen sharing!

Tomorrow's TeX Hour (Thursday 15 April, 6:30 to 7:30pm UK time) is about
adapting our use of TeX and LaTeX for this 21st century problem of computer
monitors large, small, none and many. I'll share my experience and ideas,
and I hope you will also. Let's think outside the printed page.

The zoom details are at https://jfine2358.github.io/contact/

Last week's TeX Hour had Jana Schroeder as a special guest. I'm now editing
the video recordings into topic-based short clips. From last week I
recommend

Indentation and short term memory - http://y2u.be/bZRfWt5dRX4
Sighted coders create their own adaptations - http://y2u.be/ugUGRG8cmtc
Blind coders also want adaptations - http://y2u.be/diZICs5loM4

Would you like to give a short presentation at the TeX Hour? Perhaps as a
try-out for a TeX Conference talk. Do let me know.  All are welcome. The
TeX Hour has a monthly cycle for its topics.

First Thursday: Beginners
Second Thursday: Accessibility
Third Thursday: Conversion (eg LaTeX to PDF, LaTeX to HTML, markdown to
LaTeX)
Fourth Thursday: Durable Documents (same outputs give same input across
space and time)
Fifth Thursday: Experiments and Exploration.

Finally the 2021 online TeX Conference is August 5 to 8:
