I know, it’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for - the complete unabridged history of all things Patrick H Lauke for your listening or reading pleasure! OK, joking aside, Patrick’s been interviewed for Web Axe (actually back in October for a podcast) and the transcript is available now. In it he covers various activities with the WaSP Accessibility Task Force, his involvement with Accessify.com and the forum and hanging about with reprobates … I mean fine upstanding fellows …. like Bruce Lawson.

Damn, Patrick. I suppose I better have a proper listen through that podcast then :-D. Note to self: be wary of Patrick at SXSW when he’s a little ‘overserved’ at the bar!

Good stuff Patrick.
Will have to download the podcast. I did used to listed to WebAxe don’t quite know why it dropped off my radar.
We know where to copy and paste stuff from now if we ever need to do an impromptu “This is your life”

Thanks for posting the transcript here. A really interesting interview, not just for what it told us about Patrick, but for something it reveals about the nature of this new technological/ information/ internet-based world we now live in. I suppose every teacher I ever had told me that his or her subject would be important to me. And, lucky for me, I tended to believe whatever I was told in school (sometimes an annoying habit, but positive in this case). I knew a lot of people going through with me, though, who would say things like, “I’m really good in English, never really cared much about math,†or vice versa, or who were fantastic musicians, but couldn’t find Italy on a map. One of the revealing things about Patrick’s background is how diverse it is, and particularly how diverse his education has been. I suspect, but I will leave it as an open question here, that this is a brand new age, where success is going to demand high-level skills in multiple fields at once. Things like design and programming, the ability to compose a pithy piece of music and a facility with creating interesting text, all have a potential place in a successful site, and the successful web designer will need to find ways to educate him or herself in all of them.
