sorry to hear this man... wow... i am just speechless.

your attitude is inspirational... were it me, i would probably stay indoors and in bed for a few weeks crying and sulking. and you had a snowball fight? damn, that's awesome!

hope your vision is restored soon, and they get you a bionic eye and a bionic limb as well a decade or two from now!

I was thinking about you the other day too Joe#s. Even looked up your last post to see how long it had been. Hope everything works out for the best! Take your time, get well, and come back to TWW stronger than ever.

you dumb motherfuckers know the dude can adjust the font size in his own browser, right

12/14/2010 8:43:59 AM

why make the guy work harder?

12/14/2010 8:44:27 AM

he's going to do it anyway to read anything anywhere else

he's gonna make your big text illegibly bigger

12/14/2010 8:45:15 AM

if he's using a screen reader, it doesn't matter how big the text is

Froshkiller is right

12/14/2010 8:51:33 AM

Damn dr. Numbers I'm sorry about everything. You have a great outlook on life an I'm sure everything will work it's self out.

Seriously Joe, you are one of my Heros, no joke.

12/14/2010 9:29:18 AM

This shit is almost unreal. Anyone ever met this walking accident in real life? You need to walk around like the kid in "Little Giants"....covered completely in bubble wrap.

Good luck in getting better. I couldn't imagine losing that much eyesight.

Wow, just incredible. Good luck Joe#s, you're an amazing person!

Doesn't matter how big the font size is when you are blind.

12/14/2010 9:55:30 AM

Yikes good luck and get well soon!

12/14/2010 10:06:36 AM

^^ i was assuming whoever did it first did it as a joke... not for accessibility

12/14/2010 10:26:11 AM

Good luck Joe#s

12/14/2010 12:14:48 PM

That's a really shitty story, but I hope you get better soon.

12/14/2010 12:21:25 PM

I swear, Joe#s reminds me of "Lucky" the Dog

Quote :

"REWARD LOST DOG         * Missing a leg         * Blind in one eye         * One ear torn off         * Tail broken         * Neutered in an accident Answers to the name “Lucky”"

Today, we are all "Lucky"

No bullet points summary?

Sucks dude, but it doesn't really sound like you are blind if you're doing the things you say you are.

For some reason Joe#'s posts always piss me off. They are filled with woe is me, but i have a good attitude so it doesn't seem like woe is me.

But at the same time he drops shit like his BMW, parents vacation homes, etc.

Maybe I'm just bitter my parents aren't filthy rich.

12/14/2010 12:59:00 PM

12/14/2010 1:11:23 PM

wait, are you serious?

Dude has a PhD and an awesome job, even if his parents were paupers he'd still be able to afford a BMW and a vacation. If you think this guy is woe is me id love to hear what you think about RachaelMarie or whatever she calls herself

12/14/2010 1:15:27 PM

Well we all know she's just a trainwreck of humanity

12/14/2010 1:17:51 PM

12/14/2010 1:42:29 PM

seems like karma is taking you bit by bit, you should ask your dad about this as it doesn't seem like it's something you're doing

12/14/2010 2:21:51 PM

joe, you are one of my favorite TWWers.

12/14/2010 5:17:44 PM

slackerb sounds like a total jerk

Have you ever met Joe?

12/15/2010 7:13:28 AM

This guy has the highest luck disparity of anyone I know. He either has massively good luck, or crushingly bad luck. He never finds a dime or stubs his toe. He wins the lottery or loses a body part.

12/15/2010 9:24:17 AM

Is it wrong that when I first saw the huge font, I LOL'd?

Sucks Joe...hope it turns around soon.

12/15/2010 9:36:49 AM

a 508 compliance request?


in my tww?

12/15/2010 9:55:44 AM

More likely than you think.

12/15/2010 9:56:26 AM

I'm feeling like having the voice-activated inputs that are part of the HTML5 spec in site3 is now a necessity.

12/15/2010 10:01:48 AM

hey big man, hope you receive some type of Christmas miracle over the holidays seems like u need it man!

12/15/2010 5:56:48 PM

dear joe,


if you can see this I hope you're doing better!

1/10/2011 12:06:16 AM

1/10/2011 12:07:36 AM
