And there are places that you can't get good radio access; I used to work in an inner office in the basement of the building -- radio reception was zilch. I was glad to discover that baseball games were available online.
First my favorite player gets traded, now this; it's enough to make a girl long for football season....

As a future technical writer, I resemble that remark.....
XML.com is a good source; I used it a lot the other night during my 2 hour debugging session for my homework.
Our textbook is "XML for the World Wide Web" by Elizabeth Castro, from Peachpit Press. I'm not going to link to Amazon.com here; support your local independent bookstore instead!

According to a visually disabled acquaintance, speaking browsers DO recognize images if equipped with a proper *alt* attribute. If attribute is missing (and if it is, the document won't validate under the W3C validator), the browser reads the images filename (clipart.gif or picture.jpg). That doesn't help much.
Shockwave, Flash, Java applets and other such fluff is another story. Not to mention a real drag on loading time for those with slow connections.....

Go to your local college campus -- if they have introductory classes in the subject, read the textbooks and see if your interested
Do some informational interviewing -- talk to people who have the type of job you'd like and find out what kind of degree(s) they have
Figure out what you like to do -- do you want to sit in a cubicle for 10-12 hours a day, or do you want a life?
Just a thought.....
