Lifekludger Wiki
In a few months the Lifekludger blog will have been going for four years. What started as a desire to share my thoughts about how I use technology as a person who lives with disability quickly turned into a platform to espouse the vision of Lifekludger. My hope is that by sharing ideas on howContinueContinue reading “Lifekludger Wiki”

People don’t scale, People Networks do.
I read with interest my good mate, Hugo Ortega’s UberTablet blog.

Taking it to the streets
A while ago Andy asked why I didn’t have a lifekludger sticker on my van. So the other day while thinking about it I searched where I could buy one online. Did it and got delivered from US, reasonable price. At least it got done. So now I’m taking lifekludger to the streets:
