Interaction13 "early bird" ticket up for grab

Hi folks,

Sadly, Interaction13 is not in the cards for me this year due to getting my new business, DHealth, off the ground. My "early bird" ticket, priced at $750 vs. the now-$950 general ticket, is up for grabs. Please get in touch with me at ixd (at) elizabethbacon (dot) com to make arrangements for purchase/transfer.

Accessibility; font size and color contrast

i'm looking for a tool (or information) regarding accessibility. of course i know the common tools and w3c pages. what i'm looking for is a way to check the combination of fontsize and color-contrast.

tools like Colour contrast Analyzer are nice and helpful, but  i'm absolutely sure contrast can be lower using  - for example -  helvetica/50px/bold instead of times/12px/light/italic.
