Many Fingers in Many Pies.

This is largely a place for the rants, raves, musings and comments on life from Will Wade. You are welcome to peruse at your leisure. Some of it may be interesting to OT folk, some web folk, heck perhaps photography folk if I get round to taking some pics. I have many pies (and actually only 10 fingers) so its a broad church here.

Is it wrong I find this funny? (via DavidScheider)

So many people are linking to this. The true origin is of course NASA. This I’m ashamed to say is from gizmodo (I can’t stand the site generally). Quite amusing that the story is about how he was treated by BA & Heathrow staff at T5 due to the “panic” that set in regarding the snow. I have to say that JFK or LAX staff/services aren’t exactly charming (there are no free luggage trolleys in JFK - you have to pay with a feckin’ credit card and the staff were so unfriendly I thought I was going to end up in Guantanamo as I didn’t agree with their baggage weight system..)  but I do have to agree that BA is awful: ”When the guy at JFK’s customs asked me if I had anything to declare, I quoted Dennis Farina in Snatch from the very deep bottom of my heart and soul: “Don’t go to England.” And don’t ever fly British Airways” …and in the comments.. “True. There’s so many more reasons not to go to England than the Airport. Last time I was there my train was delayed 6 hours cause someone loved England so much they decided to lay down on the tracks and give the island a big old hug”

Over time “accessibility” became part of the DNA of what an Apple computer was, so that no one who was designing a product anymore had to be forced into thinking about accessibility because it was simply part of the regular process. One of many nice quotes detailing Dr Alan Brightman’s work (and Yahoo). Can’t say I don’t want his job.. I wonder who has taken his place at Apple? Disability, Accessibility, and Assistive Technology – Yahoo! Gets It, Inside and Out (via @EADraffen)
How on earth do you accidentally fall on a chopstick?
“In this photo taken on December 26, 2009 and released by Bo Ai Hospital in Beijing, nurses attend to Li Jingchao, who had a chopstick stuck up his nose when he accidentally fell on it…” (from the Telegraph)

Updated my Job OT Job stats data today. If the trend is correct this is pretty shocking stuff.. Either its true (i.e. less jobs out there) or less jobs are being posted by the official NHS Jobs Website - either way its not great. See here for my original post for more info.

SOCIAL order crumbled and mass executions of sacrificial virgins were ordered as over a centimetre of snow fell in some parts of London today… As temperatures plummeted mayor Boris Johnson abandoned snowbound boroughs and told them to fend for themselves and eat each other if necessary. The Daily Mash. So true.

Been mesmerised by DubFX this evening. Back in the day my brother introduced me to Rahzel who was amazing. DubFX is a bit more “hippy” (he has a girlfriend called Flower Fairy. Need I say more) but its pretty clever stuff. This one explains how its done but youtube is flooded by his vids

About Me

Will Wade

Let me say hello and tell you who wrote this rubbish above

I'm a late 20's (some say early 30's but I'm in denial) Occupational Therapist/Web developer/Photographer/Bum (delete as appropriate). I currently live in a little market town called Princes Risborough in Bucks, England, UK, the World.

My time ranges from hacking up websites, holding together old websites, working in wheelchair services, doing a research post (looking at children with cerebral palsy and their sitting balance) and generally taking on far more than I can handle

See a little more about Will Wade over here...
