Content before Style

I'm adding some ways to contact me,
for my friends and family,
although it may not be pretty,
I hope it works,
I'll wait and see.

Death By PowerPoint



Flash presentation: Death by PowerPoint
This is an excellent presentation on bad presentation. :p

Unfortunately it doesn't speak for itself and doesn't seem to be usable with assistive technology. :(

$hamele$$ly A$king For Your $upport

I am participating in the 2007 Thanksgiving Day Trot for Hunger to help raise awareness about hunger and homelessness and to raise funds for programs that provide meals, medical care and other supportive services for the poor and homeless in our community.

Please join me in supporting this important cause by making a tax-deductible contribution in my name or by registering to participate in this year's Trot for Hunger. Your support makes a world of difference in the life of a child or adult in need. Thank you!

One Laptop Per Child

Well, I've considered both sides of the good and the bad in a program like the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) program.

Thinking that the negatives are really an issue of how this won't work or will distract from the basics is a failure to consider that any involvement leaves people with potential. Potential failure, perhaps. Potential success? We will see. I'm willing to support such an experiment. To see if such an effort makes things possible.

On a personal note, I'm also anxious to see how accessible these things are from an end-user perspective. Perhaps also be able to contribute to the ability for children with disabilities to use the same technologies, in the same places as other children.

This is the song that never ends...

It goes on and on my friends,
some people started singing it not knowing what it was,
and they'll continue singing it forever just because,
this is the song that never ends...

Pennsic!

Just got back from a weekend at Pennsic! No fighting or anything outwardly studious this year, as I needed a break. It was good to simply go to sleep when tired and wake up whenever. I was able to do some meditation (seeing progress) and yoga (my 'leet yoga skills suck) by the lake, including exercise in the early morning.

I didn't have much interest in drinking this year beyond the taste of it. Or perhaps more aptly I had no interest in drinking to excess as is the normal want of many Pennsic denizens.

Still, camping with my friends who could make it, meeting old friends, and making new friends was great fun! I only wish I could have stayed longer.
