blog announcement
Hi, there, I just wanted you to all know that I'm going to be writing blogs for Canada.com and my first post is up now. I'll be appearing there once a week, although there is no definate schedule. Drop by and tell me what you think.
Well writ, Dave. Who ever woulda thunk about transcontinental travel "a couple of years ago." And because of yours and others' tireless efforts, we can all experience the world from a seated position. Well, some of the time, anyway.
The article was very well written. I have never met you but I have read a lot of your writing and I wanted to say that I am filled with a sense of pride that Canada has such a brilliant disability writer. I passed your blog address on to my peers in a M.A. Disability Studies degree that I am taking through California Baptist University and the Prof. Said that he has been checking in frequently and loving your writing.
I agree. It was an excellent article. We've come a long way, and hopefully we will continue, in the right direction.
Somewhat off-topic, but maybe relevant, is this article about improvements in the new iPhone operating system that may help some disabled people (I'm mostly A/B, so I'm judging from the sidelines.) http://pogue.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/11/10/apples-assistivetouch-helps-the-disabled-use-a-smartphone/
Thank you for your comment. Disagreement with the blog post and heated debate about issues raised are welcome. However, comments which personally attack or bully another or comments which are not relevant to the blog post or the blog theme may be removed.

Hello Dave,

Keep up the good work.
