Brain Dump
Sunday, July 1st, 2018 06:45 pmUnusually for me, this post is dripping out of my brain, down my fingers, and directly into the post form. Feel free to seek clarifications if incoherence wins.
SLATE has been online for twenty-two years. If you asked me in the mid naughts, I would have said it's slightly to the right of Democratic centralism. Since my news fast, I can't speak to its current position. But its "Future Tense" section on technology, society, now and in the future, has always been worth reading. ( in particular ... )
Assistive technology is one of my primary fandoms, and this past Friday was a convention of sorts. Called Abilities Expo, it's a commercial endeavor with six US shows and one in Toronto. MyGuy & Bella ferried me down to grim Renaissance Hotel in Schaumburg IL, and I zoomed around the show for 3 hours. (They continued down to Aurora to visit with his sister and her dog. Sadly, the two dogs didn't get along.)
Things I saw & thoughts I had:
( eight items that caught my eye )
I could natter on for a long time, but I'll leave myself something to chat about tomorrow.
