We are meeting on Monday to work on the joint project to get a more usable wheelchair joystick controller to Andrei -- Please donate, so we can take the next steps to get an expert in Moldova to install it! https://www.openassistivetech.org/a-walk-in-the-park/

Feeling excited, later this week I will get to hear about a cheap, DIY, PAPR model that Karen Nakamura's class has been working on this semester at Berkeley. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powered_air-purifying_respirator I am very curious to see how they approached the technical and other challenges! #GOAT #DisabilityTech

Just had an interesting question about remote control / telepresence hiking cameras and I was thinking. You know like the Be My Eyes app where you get volunteer sighted describers paired up on the fly with blind folks wanting something described? We could have a nice "Walk With Me" app, where people going on a walk around town or a hike, video it and chat real time with people who are stuck at home. The usual problems exist ofc so we need ways to vet volunteers or complain. #DisabilityJustice

GOAT is raising money to get new parts and gear to this wheelchair user in Moldova. Help our team repair and reuse expensive powerchairs, to keep people moving!!

People keep leaving out Further Ado and i think it's a bit unfair #OpenMic

I'm working at the Disability Cultural Center today in San Francisco if you want to stop by and get a tour! It's a great space for co-working and we have free snacks. Opposite City Hall!

Use a walker, rollator, scooter, or wheelchair? I'm running a free afternoon workshop next Wednesday at the #SFDCC, to provide free lights, reflectors, glow in the dark stuff, and other safety (and fun) visibility options to add to your mobility devices! Register here:

Nap time for cats #CatsOfMastodon

If you want a good laugh, have a look at my various Bad Inventions blog posts over the years! So many of them are cat themed. I had forgotten about the scratching post chaps as well as non-cat related inventions like Menstrual Sneezing Powder! https://bookmaniac.org/tag/bad-inventions/

Met Fluffy, an Oakland street cat with a cashmere sweater, over by the Wheelhouse this morning. #CatsOfMastodon ( takes a pet, no problem)
