Cliffs of Moher videos
Saturday, May 2nd, 2009Sign and sticker
Friday, May 1st, 2009I was in Galway yesterday and today for the Spunout.ie board meeting (I’m now on their board) and on the way back visited the Cliffs of Moher. I loved how this sign was photographed so much while being ignored at the same time:
But I loved this sticker on it on the upper left:
Everything sounds better with More Cowbell
and this is what you get to see when you ignore signs:

Of language and communication
Friday, April 24th, 2009I’m completely ignorant of Autism, not a clue to be honest, I’m sure like so many more. When I hear or read about it I think of the wonderful Sharon and her Family Voyage blog and the passion she has on the subject. This video blew my mind wide open. Worth every second of your time. Not blew my mind in a “my god people with Autism can communicate” but in how Amanda Baggs has shown in this eight minute video just how limited my interaction with the world around me is. The first part of this is 3 minutes or so long, then comes the “translation” from Amanda’s language to ours.
