no cars on the road no cares in my mind

In case anyone finds it helpful because mobility aids are horrifically expensive and inaccessible…

And for those people who have access to mobility devices but might benefit from a second chair they can abuse without risking expensive damage…

Erik Kondo has made a website, Open Source Innovations, that details plans for DIY wheelchairs. These wheelchairs can be made from common materials like wood, plastic, and pvc. They are lightweight and can be custom fit to the user allowing from the same degree of movement you would get from a custom chair. And they are durable and easily repairable. (he has been stress testing his latest design by dropping it down stairs, dropping it out of a car, launching it across a driveway, and throwing it off a deck). Its 12lbs and I think he said its was in the $200 ish range for parts.

He also is working on cheap, open source, accessible designs for beach chairs, off road chairs, motorized attachments (think smart drive), and so on. Plus he skateboards in his wheelchair. Cool dude, helpful info, pass it on.

It's incredibly sad people have to resort to this, but it's a damn good resource. Use it. Spread awareness. Maybe one day people with physical disabilities won't need DIYs like this. But until then, reblog and share.

‘Industrial Nature’ series, at Makersplace.

No object is good or bad by itself, it all depends on the use you give to it. The same stone that was used to kill was also used to scratch art on the walls of caves. Something very similar is happening with the internet nowadays. Technology is becoming our natural predator. 

something about that one narrow staircase in Spadina station is deeply haunting to me, what do we think?

I think if those fluorescent lights flicker even one time I'm gonna invent teleportation and clip through the wall Bethesda-style at the same time and the noises will NOT be dignified
