Yes this is cross posted but when it comes to gigs for blinks, I like to spread 
the word as far and wide as I can.  If you get duplicates, you can delete them 
or send me a nastygram, I don't really care.

(What's up with Chris' attitude  this morning? No big deal, a house just fell 
on his sister.)

Help Wanted:

A small company focusing on software products that people with vision 
impairment can use for a whole panoply of tasks, is seeking one or more 
competent  iPhone hackers.  They prefer hiring people with vision impairment as 
we bring along greater intuition for user needs that do randomly selected 
programmers.  They have a sighted person who can clean up the UI when the 
software approaches beta so no one need worry about that.

I've been working with these guys on and off for more than five years and can 
attest to their commitment to excellence and they have a great reputation 
around the biz for innovation and exploring new territory.

If you are interested, please send me a private email about yourself and I'll 
see if you might be a fit.  Do not ask me about compensation as I don't know or 
care what these gigs pay, I'm just helping out as a friend.  If I like your 
email, I'll send it onto the guys at this company and will step out of the 
picture as they will take over from that point.

Happy Hacking,
cdh

BTW: The meaning of "Vision Impaired

Because I write a lot of grant proposals and such, I need to make sure that I 
use very precise language when describing a population segment.  People With 
VIsion Impairment (PWVI) is the current politically correct term.

There are various degrees of Vision Impairment: moderate (20:200 or worse with 
no possible correction), severe (light perception, can use computer with 
ZoomText, on their way to screen reader if they have a degenerative disorder), 
profound (people like me who can, sometimes, tell if bright light is present or 
not but, otherwise, cannot see anything of value) and, lastly, total vision 
impairment (no light, no motion, nothing).

If anyone wants to know the genesis of the PWVI phrase from degrees of visual 
impairment or blindness, please ask and I'll write up a history on the BS list.
