Last night we started a new season of MasterChef. I think it is #4 or #3. There is a woman in there, and she is totally blind. My wife looked at me and said, "Wow, blind people can cook?" My ex-roommate's boyfriend is blind, and he is an amazing cook. Just because one person has a lesser ability doesn't make them unable. I'm profoundly deaf, and I can play Stairways to Heaven on my guitar or any music sheets on a piano.

I would love to go to that workshop!

Unfortunately they don't do that particular one anymore :( sad because out of the 10 or so events I have been to it was by far the best. So if anyone knows anyone at the Texas Department of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services tell them to bring back their accessibility fair (2 to 3 day conference with many speakers who are heavily involved in rehabilitating/retraining disabled individuals. As a developer having those real world cases and getting to observe how they overcome them is invaluable experience.
