[games_access] GDC '06 report of Day 1

[d. michelle hinn]

Yes, I second that! The whole week was great and soon I'll unveil 
"Mission Positive Campaign: Press Releases Galore" (once I have 
IGDA's permission to do those...) that I went on and on about last 
week! Ok, basically the idea is that we will send press releases 
stating the things that games do "right" with regard to accessibility 
in the hopes that they will want to learn more. :) It beats "Mission 
Negative Campaign: Lawsuits Galore"

Kevin and I are definitely willing US university funding people so if 
you need University support for a NSF grant or something like that, 
we can lend a hand!

Great day one write up. Now that I have the sig blog password again, 
I'll link to it and be adding more news items each week. :)
