Wish Me Luck
So today finally came. A day I’ve long been waiting for. I’ve chosen today, November 4th, to officially launch this endeavor because I envision today is going to be a slow news day.
It’s time to put up or shut up. I’m going to focus on planning my book. And save for tomorrow, potentially, I won’t be treating this blog as any sort of writing priority. So after this post I’ll be taking some time off to devote my resources to another effort.
Wish me luck. I’m gonna need it…
Ablecentric Thinking
Last week I’d been asked to evaluate modern implementations of accessibility. I wasn’t too sure exactly how to approach the topic. So I spent some time actually thinking about things first. Originally I was intent on declaring my concerns regarding “accessibility” were one of two things. Either they are accessible or inaccessible. Simple, right? I like simple.
But then I thought, I can, quite easily, get into any of the grocery stores, say, in my neighborhood. But I can’t reach, let alone confidently handle, anything, that has substantial weight or mass, on a shelf over 5 feet in height. So without varying degrees of help I’m unable to adequately make an independent trip out to the grocery store a worthwhile endeavor. And somehow that’s not a desired way to live a life and it’s, at least, a problem?
Which had me thinking about things in a drastically different light…
Why? Exactly?
“We don’t want the hunter to become the prey and fall victim to a heart attack.” We don’t?
And who exactly is we?
