Give Joe Some Dough
Donate to Joe Clark’s Micropatronage We interrupt our regularly scheduled three part series on Designing for Dyslexics to bring you this public service announcement:
Love him or hate him, Joe Clark needs your dough… or money, moolah, cash, clams, or whatever name you give your currency. Joe is looking for day-to-day survival money while he raises $7 million (Canadian) to fund the Open & Closed Project. This is an accessibility research project aimed at developing accessible media standards in four areas:
- Captioning
- Audio Description
- Subtitling
- Dubbing
Joe’s not asking for project contributions; the money he’s asking for in this micropatronage is for him — to allow him to campaign for the big money needed for the project itself. So stop what you’re doing and make a donation right now to help him meet his $7777. goal. The entire media industry will benefit so it’s a good cause.
We know, not everyone has the means to make a donation. That’s okay, you can still help by spreading the word. Joe has provided some banner ads to help you help him.
Okay, back to our regularly scheduled broadcast.
