Welcome to the Extensions
for Independence’s web pages. In them you will find things
that have helped me live a meaningful and productive life in
spite of my disability. These things are low-technology
aids, tips of knowledge, and my philosophy of life. It is
all there for you to take or use what you need. My life would
not have meaning if I did not know that someone, somewhere is learning
from it, or using the benefit of a product of my creation.
