Go, Go, Gadget!

October is a busy time for those of us in disability pollicy/advocacy. The federal government marks October as National Disability Employment Month and I have a series of trainings, events, and assorted happenings for which to prepare as October quickly approaches. It’s good to be busy after a quiet summer, but it’s also a bit stressful because I’m always afraid I’ll forget to do something or let something slip past my attention. Fortunately, I think my past experience as a law clerk has given me the organizational skills necessary to stay on top of multiple projects. I also have a Palm Pilot, which is helpful. If you look in the bag I carry to work, you’ll find my Palm, iPod, digital tape recorder, and cell phone. I never thought I’d turn into a total gadget slave, but I suppose it was inevitable.
Huh. I start writing about disability stuff and it morphs into observations on my geek fetish. My mind scares me sometimes.
