About me
Hello, my name is Timothy Hobbs. I am a junior in high school, doing running start at BCC www.bcc.ctc.edu . I own an XO the laptop produced by the One Laptop Per Child foundation www.laptop.org and am very interested in accessibility software for the XO. I use and love emacs, and wish to bring it's accessibility to the third world without dragging them out of their comfortable sugar interface into EMACs' fully destructible hetroverse. I am a dysgraphic NVLDer, which means that I have trouble hand writing, I have trouble reading, and I have even more trouble doing rote tasks, NVLD however, is not all bad, and I would consider it to be more of a Learning Difference than a disability, NVLD basically makes me better at thinking and worse at doing. My favorite sport is track, I run the 400m(52 sec), 800m(2:01.27), and 1600m (4:46?). I also swim, Orienteer, and run Cross country.
