As many of you know I was looking for work for the last few months,
well I am happy to announce that I have secured employment. I have
accepted the position of Manager of Accessible Technology at the
Association for the Blind of Western Australia in Perth and will start
immediately working form the U.S. while I await the clearance to enter
and work in Australia.
You can think of my job as the Western Australian version of what
Andrew Furlong does in Melbourne with Vision Australia. I will oversee
the conversion of the tape library to DAISY format, help to manage
the Beyond Books Beyond Barriers project for ABWA and the State
Library of Western Australia (www.cucat.org/library/ and work in other
areas of accessible media. I will also have a more formal position
with Curtin University and the Curtin University Centre for Accessible
Technology working on research and development of accessible technology.
My wife, Tamara, will be working with me at ABWA developing a training
programme for blind massage therapists and in braille production.
I want to thank all of you for your help and suggestions over these
last few months. I look forward to working more closely with the Daisy
Consortium in the future.
