Here's something for geeks, wannabe geeks and (crucially) for disabled people who aren't in the least bit geeky.
Scripting Enabled is a project that kicked off last weekend with a conference and 'hack day' at London Metropolitan University. The event was organised by Chris Heilmannwait- International Developer Evangelist for Yahoo.
There are many websites, services and tools on the web that are unnecessarily inaccessible to disabled people. But there are also a huge number of geeks out there with the will and ability to fix these problems.
