Hiroko Tabuchi of the Associated Press (via Yahoo! News) reports how scientists are studying ways in which the brain may be able to move objects. To me, the most important point in this article is the breakthrough for people with disabilities as follows:
“The technology could one day replace remote controls and keyboards and perhaps [...]
As I sit here patiently waiting for my husband to hook up our new Wii we got today, I decided to look on line at information regarding the Wii. On a side note I have tried many game consoles and the hand controls were hard for me regarding my hand strength from polio. I got [...]
This post really isn’t for any articles or technology news. It is more of the frustration of companies making too little of their new and best products for the public. For instance the Wii. I would love to have one. We have and Xbox, Dreamcast (oldie), and all the smaller gaming [...]
The other day I was thinking that maybe I write too much on the computer. Do I really have anything to say? That was my last post here. I found an article tonight that says that journaling of any type whether it is blogging, writing in a journal, or even a paper [...]
Lately I have been thinking about all the blogging sites available to users of the internet. Many including myself, have blogs everywhere. Really and truly “do we all have that much to say?” Just the past couple of days I have been thinking about it.
I am not a computer professional, famous, or even [...]
Having a disability and really using the internet and technology as a tool for networking. I have found a sight called DisabledUnited.com. It is a message board, forum for dating similar to myspace. It is also a place where people with disabilities can learn about good ways to travel, accessible cities, and the best medical equipment [...]
I am a bit late on some of the disability related technology news for 2007. In January of this year Microsoft and Assistive Technology Vendors introduced some new products for people with disabilities at the Assistive Technology Industry Associations 8th annual conference in Orlando. The products will be used in conjunction with Windows Vista.
Over 30 [...]
Being on a ventilator 24/7 and loving technology as I do. I belong to several disability and health related message boards. I got a link the other day to a web site that Steve Case, formally of AOL has started. It is called Revolution Health. It is a website where individuals [...]
As I read more about the advertising campaign gone wild for a Turner channel cartoon. Was it be too paranoid regarding strange objects? Or rightfully so in making sure the city and it’s citizens were not in danger. Not sure. What do you think????

The world of technology for everyone is awesome, but for people with disabilities it is even more. Sometimes a life line to the world and what people can actually do if they put their mind to it. I got this link from the ventilator email group I belong to.
Awesome!
If you see this, and have [...]
I must admit that I am the biggest gadget junkie there is; it is just lately I am getting a bit frustrated with the quality of products. I have had my iPod nano less than a year - not quite eight months - and it is trashed. It won’t charge, and it won’t play. I [...]
I know this is not an area with fix-it advice or technology manuals to solve gadget problems, but it is a place to vent.
I think a lot of companies that update their software don’t pay any attention to how buggy they can be, sometimes. For a month now I have not been able to [...]
Every year there seem to be several new tech gadgets out for the holidays. And yes, I have to have one. This year I am wondering which would be better? Zune, video iPod, Mac PowerBook Pro, or just go with jewelry. That’s my weakness, too.
My old PowerBook is getting old and the screen is [...]
I am sooo, sooo stoked. If you met me in real life you would probably freak. I am in my 40s, on a ventilator, use a wheelchair, and the best thing is I am so into tech stuff. Tonight, as I was trying to think of something to write that wasn’t the usual [...]
As a user of the Internet for almost 11 years, lately I have been enticed by the strange and obscure news that is scattered throughout the Web. Today I woke up with my cup of coffee and found an interesting story. I read today that as of November 1, the factory that produces the yard [...]
