Have empathy, will build.

Let’s just say that if you build a website with me, it’s going to be a real learning experience. Working with a Deaf Blind client will give you an insight into our world. Majority of my readers are sighted. It’s obvious to me – the commenters, the untranscribed vlogs, and feedback that my site isn’t Braille friendly.(sigh) Point what: Readers who are visually challenged should have full access to my site starting a.s.a.p!

Off the bat: I’m no tech wizard. I can operate a coffee machine and learn quickly if it comes with a manual less than 5 pages. My Blackberry still clicks away at an ancient age of 5. I used to have a “high-school ish” website but that was so long ago.

I’m slated to be in Nigeria by February 10th (yea, that’s the date!!!!!!!!!!!) and I will be blogging and vlogging on a regular basis (too much time basking in the sun of the Sahara Desert and during dark nights at home in candlelight and a charged battery) and it breaks my heart my site isn’t accessible for everyone (deaf sighted/blind; hearing sighted). I have many plans, ideas but reluctant to post.

Y’know, I don’t have a real paying job right now. My friend, the Canadian Disability Payments, is supporting me right now while I’m volunteering at the Deaf Blind Service Center in Seattle, WA. (amazing experience so far). Webmasters looking to make it rich needn’t apply.

If you have the enthusiasm, knowledge, creativity, research skills, and the time – I can pay you a small sum.

I can be reached via videophone, email, AIM or pager. Lv a comment how to reach you.

Tactile love wherever you are in the world -
