Hello world!
I was trying out WP but apart from Scoble it seems here at wp.com the rest of us can’t change styles to anything but the ‘canned’ templates. So, see you at Lifekludger blog or my personal blog called “blob”. D
horizontal computing
Functional as an Illusion Lately I’ve in the back of my mind a project. I want to be able to access a computer from my bed. So what? You ask. Well, it’s not as simple as just getting a laptop and plugging it in. Seeing as how the only thing I can move in bedContinueContinue reading “horizontal computing”

occupational therapy
1, 2, 3 Going back a few posts under the title upright drifters I wrote about a presentation involving my life-tools and other things I was preparing for an OT class. Well that’s been and gone but there was a request for the powerpoint file, so I thought I’d put it up with a linkContinueContinue reading “occupational therapy”
a change of style
We were brainwashed Okay, I relent. I started out this blog thing not really knowing what I was doing and had formulated ‘styling rules’ in my head and tried to follow them for consistency. Such things as “tiny font”, “small pic in top right-corner”, “no caps, just punctuation”, “cryptic titles” were the unwritten rules runningContinueContinue reading “a change of style”
long time passing
neo-community i’ve been involved in community all my life, we all have to some extent. i’ve particularly been involved in online community since being a part of developing and running of the common ground bulletin board in 1992. during that time i’ve seen a group of disparate people find new ways of connecting and communicating,ContinueContinue reading “long time passing”

People from other countries are always surprised to find theContinueContinue reading “the isthmus principle”
upright drifters
Just lately I have been preparing a presentation for a lecture I have to give to a class of occupational therapy students next week. As part of the presentation I have had someone taking photos of all the modifications and contraptions in and around my home I use to get by in my everyday lifeContinueContinue reading “upright drifters”

while mike’s been watching google news for what’s happening at glenelg, i’ve had my eyes on a rss feed from google news on disability happenings in australia. it’s a good way to glean news items that might be relevant for inclusion on our enablenet website. we provide a rss feed ourselves of news items thatContinueContinue reading “deka”
asylum

the dots are coming together
i’ve always viewed computers and technology as a tool. especially from the time i acquired my disability. before that point in time computers hadn’t crossed my path much and technology i didn’t much think of in any terms other than a tv and a (beta) vcr. but being from a mechanical background, tools i knew!ContinueContinue reading “the dots are coming together”

how can we see that far
although this is only my third entry in my blog, i sometimes wondered if i was ever going to have something to write. i try not to write about work, but as that’s what i spend a lot of my time doing, and the place where a lot of ‘stuff’ happens, it would be easyContinueContinue reading “how can we see that far”
a whale of a time
i listened to my first podcast yesterday. sounds hip hey? really though it’s not. i mean i don’t have an ipod, so you could say i listened to a mp3 file of some guys talking instead of singing. i listened to the gadget show, after following a link from a friends blog at learndog. iContinueContinue reading “a whale of a time”
