Floor-buffing wheelchair new low in offensive inventions
Japan aims to make people in wheelchairs more useful by creating a floor-buffing and cleaning wheelchair.I like wheelchair snowplows, but for some reason this pisses me off. I think it’s because the person in the wheelchair has absolutely no control of it. Talk about an invalid-ey feeling.

Don’t miss wheelchair curling at the Vancouver Paralympics
After debuting in Torino, wheelchair curling has seen a surge in popularity, and is only slightly different than the original sport. Read my thoughts on this fabulous sport here.
And does anyone know if powerchairs allowed on the ice? I think I might be good at this sport! I’m from Minnesota and I’m over half Swedish, I should just be good naturally, right?

Jake Sully wheelchair action figure gets razzed
Hey Mattel, your Jake Sully wheelchair action figure can stand, has shabby seams, and looks nothing like Sam Worthington. Is this the best you can do?If this was an action figure of me I’d be pissed. Good thing Jake Sully is a fictional character, and has no access to lawyers.

Not dead yet, and still receiving gifts
Having Pneumonia for 10 days this month was by far the scariest health thing I’ve experienced since breaking my neck in 1993. Thanks to massive antibiotics and figuring out how to cough using my knee, I beat it. So check this, upon coming home here’s an awesome Bowie stencil I received as a Welcome Home gift:
I’ve always loved this older photograph of the legendary Mr. Bowie.
February lessons: 1) I CAN beat Pnemonia as a C6 quad despite the odds being against me. 2) Homemade gifts are awesome.
Don’t ever think life with a spinal cord injury gets dull. It never does. And never forget how good it feels to breathe.

Quadriplegic researching erotic energy for healing
Paraplegic “climbs” mountain, but is climb the right word?
Don’t let Pneumonia happen to you; I did
Pneumonia can kill, and it almost killed me. Here’s a word of caution.
