The ODEP-funded
Partnership on Employment & Accessible Technology is conducting a nationwide
survey about the accessibility of online job applications and related
components—a topic Assistant Secretary Martinez addressed in a blog post
published this week. All people with disabilities who have recently searched or
applied for employment and/or completed pre-employment assessments online are
encouraged to participate. The survey is anonymous, and only takes a few minutes
to complete.

Happy Birthday Admiral Grace Murray Hopper
Grace Hopper was a very different person than, say, Julia Child or Hedy LaMar, other women known for service to the US.
RantWoman thanks A Mighty Girl for summoning her to mind from out of history.

Now that the Mayor pardoned the Tofurky.
What Seattle might feast on now that our mayor pardoned the Tofurkey.
Now old news but deserves to be immortalized anyway.
The RantWoman dined on real turkey.
RantWoman is used to either going to protests or to thinking about the effects on transportation of protests crossing RantWoman's travel routes. But RantWoman is NOT used to minding RantMom sufficeintly to alert her when her travels might intersect with protests.

Gimme Hoodie: On Earth as in Montana
RantWoman is simultaneously interacting with #BlackFriday and observing National Buy Nothing day. RantWoman is also warming up for #CyberMonday through contemplation online of buying options.
RantWoman is deeply amused by endless campaigns by www.teespring.com exhorting the likes of RantWoman to hurry up and BUY from the short production run of the week for clothing patterns such as the below. RantWoman is well enough charmed by thoughts of a hoodie referring to "On Earth as in Montant" to present it as an option if asked by the right people what she wants for Christmas, but RantWoman is more likely actually to buy some other items ahead of this.

Survey: invitation to fantasize about a food and nutrition app
The survey at the bottom of the post came to RantWoman via the Nebraska Council of the Blind.
It is clearly market research, but it is also a great opportunity to fantasize about features one might want in a mobile app related to grocery shopping. It also has more than enough open-ended fields to satisfy RantWoman's need sometimes to respecify survey questions.
--For example, RantWoman's inclination to pay for such an app is ZERO unless it has some privacy features such as being able to scan barcodes from multiple places. into a private list and then check her list against prices at different stores.
--RantWoman might want to work her weekly or shopping list, recipe library, menu, on a website on a bigger device than her mobile phone and then have something brief available for mobile.
--RantWoman is always a giant advocate of designing accessibility in from the beginning AND RantWoman thinks doing so is garden variety reasonable accommodation. RantWoman wants it to work from the first release of the app and to work with other features the same ways other people access info.
With those comments to bias feedback,, er invite readers to riff on such themes, here goes:
This is a feasibility study for an app idea, as part of a group assignment for class. He is
requesting help to complete this survey for the feasibility study. The
survey should take no more than 5-7 minutes and any help is greatly
appreciated. I took the survey and it is completely accessible. Please
circulate this survey far and wide.
Here is the survey: http://goo.gl/forms/8Ztl6j5pLL
RantWoman has no idea how long thesurvey is open and encourages readers to get your licks in sooner rather than later.
