New Ride
Wired has an article about individuals who take it upon themselves to make websites more accessible for people with visual impairments. And then get promptly sued or fired for their transgressions. You would think that most companies would be aware of accessibility guidelines for web design by now, but as in architecture, some people remain oblivious to best practices.
My wheelchair has finally arrived. It needed some minor tweaking after I brought it home. The torque was out of whack and the chair would rock back and forth anytime I tried to turn around. Felt like I was riding a bucking steer. That's been fixed, but the footrest is too high and my feet cramp if I leave them there too long. Getting a new chair is a little like getting a new car. It takes a little getting used to after you take it home from the dealership.

Do they make spinners for wheelchairs? I think you would look like one hot stud with some tight rims...

I have made some spinners for my Quickie 646 power chair. I was wondering if there are many 646 users and would they be interested? I have a small video too.
Thanks,
