[WG: Accessibility] Article about how the blind "see" the web from Gizmodo

[Michael S Elledge]

Hi Mary and Eli--

What things do you think the article got right, and what do you think 
they missed the mark on? And is there anything you wished they had 
addressed, but didn't?

Others please feel free to add your comments--this can be a great 
teaching moment!

Thanks!

Mike
