  • Be interested = be interesting. Go do shit. Any shit. Join social causes. Figure out what you’re passionate about and figure out how to join others in doing it. People are attracted to passion. If what you’re interested in doesn’t have any social avenues where you’re at, start it up. Create a Facebook page or group for it (or something better than Facebook but it’s unfortunately the most useful in my area).







  • I have been doing ADA compliance professionally for a while. There is no magic on this one. There’s no existing solution that doesn’t require manual interference because it requires context. Human context. It has to be understood to be understandable. There’s a few things you can do to improve overall accessibility but nothing in a suite. I specialize in InDesign and it’s probably the most powerful document solution going. But it requires a lot of work to meet the most basic of requirements.


  • I will absolutely knock the trunk or treat concept. It has removed kids from their surroundings. One key concept from trick or treating back in the day is meeting your neighbors (with the safety of your parents behind you) and briefly seeing in their houses and getting vibes. If shit went bad, I bet you’d have a safe space picked out from Halloween night to go to. And I bet you recall houses that don’t seem safe. This is important to the childhood psyche, I feel. And trunk or treat pulls that all away. And, you’re right, so do rich neighborhoods. I’m two blocks off of one those streets. They were absolutely packed on that street. We got zero trick or treaters at our place (our first Halloween here).
