Employment
Im not sure I’m a fan. I’ve had my misgivings, human relationships in life for are for a : reason, season, lifetime. Relationships have a lifecycle with an ending, unfortunately. If there wasn’t loss or pain in relationships how would we know when we had a good thing and work to keep it. If loss […]
Arogant Human Ignorance
A core part of the human experience is; we don’t know what we don’t know. It’s like the young child who covers their eye’s and thinks they are invisible. If something exists beyond our imagination then to us it doesn’t exist. Humans as individuals and humans as a herd don’t like change. An individual can […]
I’m Back
Its too long since I’ve last posted, its winter here now, not too cold yet or too much snow, but definitely winter. Christmas and now my birthday have come and gone. Last fall has been fun and a bit of an adventure. I have some short tales and a warning about being careful what you […]
User Interfaces
There are many issues with user interfaces to technology. My approach has been to give up on reading the bits and pieces unless I have to. I work off of patterns. I don’t want to appear too cynical but there is no real push at making user interfaces accessible… I had the opportunity to get […]

Recently, I wrote about my intolerance for intolerance and my new approach of working in the context of three strikes before writing off someone, a group, or an organization, or employer.

Empathy
Have you ever asked yourself why you seem to be more receptive to some and not so much to others? Have you ever wondered at work why if an idea came from one colleague it was received differently then if another colleague expressed the same idea? Do you notice that if something is not in […]
Normal
None of us like to feel or admit we are different. I look at my choice of careers. I used to shun the musician, masseuse thing as it was stereotypically blind. I now am spending more time singing and want to learn the message trade. I chose a career in information technology “IT”. Why because […]
Making a Living
Its very difficult making a living as a blind person. The most stress I’ve ever had in my life was when I was married, for the first time, and I was the only bread winner. I couldn’t get my x-wife to work for nothing. Supporting four mouths was a ton of pressure. In the workplace […]
Poverty, Disability
I was hypothesizing about growing up in poverty, disabled, blind. I grew up in Canada. Generally the poverty levels here are better than in other parts of the world but indeed poverty exists here as well. I’ve done some reading and research and have had several conversations about poverty. I am no expert on poverty. […]
