I was one of many that saw Wicked over opening weekend. Good to see Hollywood evolving a bit over Broadway. It's a journey.

On December 12 I’ll do my annual free, online digital #accessibility legal update. Here’s the signup page (thx 3Play media). I wrote this description before the US election. (Can you tell?) With sadness, I’ll share my predictions for the year ahead. go.3playmedia.com/wbnr-12-12-2.... #a11y
