How do I blog? What can you expect?
My blog posts will sometimes be long, sometimes short or medium. When I write a post, I have two things in mind, the first is to give value and the second is to make it clear. I won’t be focusing on the length, but if it gets too long, I’ll split it up.
When I plan for a post, this is my outline (not all are shown in the actual post)
- The topics and categories
- (some may be 18+ and I’ll make sure you know before you begin reading)
- The lessons and takeaways I want you to have from the post (1-3)
- This will be similar to the summary
- The post
- The immediately actionable items (what can you do as soon as you finish reading)
- A summary at the bottom if you want to read the 3-sentence version of the post
- An extra little gift (I prefer to overdeliver)

The Most Accessible Thing in the World
Reading time: 2 minutes It’s not a ramp. It’s people. And right away, that makes sense even though that may not have been your first thought when reading the title. Buttons to open doors are nice, ramps are helpful, technology that allow people like Stephen Hawking to change the world is really great. But it …
A Loud Descent – Selected Story
Reading time: 4 minutes I had a feeling that they weren’t working, I was hungry and my brain hurt, and I really hate wasting time. I knew exactly what to do, and I was oddly happy to do it. In college, in an Electrical Engineer and a Computer Engineer, double major baby. On a rather …
People in Wheelchairs Have Gotta Get Away
Reading time: 2 minutes This is something on my mind and one of those rare occurrences where I will indict myself and say, “do as I say, not as I do.” At the time of my writing this, there is a global pandemic. But I write for the future as well as the present, so …

Happy Birthday Stephen – Pictures from Life
October 2nd is my brother’s 18th birthday (2020). I think he’s pretty cool, not to be sentimental or anything. Go give him the love he deserves. (view profile) We have heaps of pictures from our childhood all the way through to now, but here are the ones I could find in 5 minutes since I’m …

Paraplegic Gears/Tools of the Month: Lumbar Baby
Reading time: 1 minutes Short, simple. Gear of the month. The Problem: If you’re in a wheelchair, or sit down for any length of time, then you’re likely to have bad posture. It’s not your fault. Most seats aren’t designed for great posture. My car, and most others, have bucket seats that really sink you …

Necessity and Creativity for the Paraplegic
Reading time: 2.5 minutes Dying of thirst, an eagle was flying over a rather dry area looking for what it needed badly, water. When the eagle passed over a hut that had left out a vase of water, it landed and tried to drink the crystal water. After struggling with no success – the water …

Falling in Limbo – Selected Story
Reading time: 4 minutes It’s not every morning I look in the mirror and wink at myself. I was feeling particularly great. I dressed up more than usual, great contrast to my average engineering outfit of pants and a t-shirt. While I was living in Appleton, working at Kimberly-Clark, and a co-worker told me about …
Poop Time Advice for Paraplegics
Reading time: 3 minutes Morning Afternoon If you’re in a wheelchair and you have a “bowel program,” which means you go to the bathroom as we all do, then you may have had some sort of routine in or out of rehab. While I was in rehab, I had to poop every morning, and if …
Stop Caring What Other People Think About You in a Wheelchair
Reading time: 2 minutes Seriously. I don’t have this problem, but I’ve seen it. Here’s something I read everyday, followed by my logic for how I don’t have this issue. “A [hu]man is about as big as the things that make [them]him angry” Winston Churchill – Artist, Writer, Orator, former PM of the UK If …

Paraplegic Gear/Tools of the Month: Baby Calves
Reading time: 2 minutes I’ve talked before on how important it is to stretch, not explicitly, but sprinkled throughout other posts, such as How to Reduce Muscle Spasms for Paraplegics If you took my advice, you came to the same heuristic conclusion – it matters. Stretching matters. After not stretching for a while, or doing it …
