  1. @Trishinspace I once worked briefly with boy with Aspergers. It taught me the problem wasn't *him* so much as the response of others to him.
  2. @Schottland_Blog I agree re Specialisterne . It's brilliant to spot a way to allow autistic people to turn condition to their advantage.
  3. RT @gracesmith Excellent article on clients, design, and bullshitting irrationality: http://bit.ly/10ymSH (via @douglasbrull & @kylemeyer)

  11. OOffice3.0>3.1 upgrade routine v poor. Failed to remove 3.0. Also awful usability. Told me to quit OO pre install, but that aborted routine.
  12. @sgodfrey Indeed. Orwell secluded himself on Jura to write 1984, in house 4 miles from the road & 23 miles from only village on the island.
  13. Back from Jura all too soon. Beautiful, peaceful island. I love cycling there, tho there is just 1 road! http://yfrog.com/5epl5tj
  14. 2/2 terms we understand and use without explanation, and distinctions we regard as crucial are just boring/irrelevant jargon to many users.
  15. 1/2 IATV video i retweeted is useful reminder of how detached we can become from ordinary user's view of technology. We need to remember...
