Ian Usher has sold his life on eBay for nearly A$400,000. Ian Usher is an Englishman who emigrated to Perth, Australia 5 years ago. When his marriage failed he decided to sell the lot: the house, the car, the jet ski, his kite-surfing gear and body boards. The winner will get access to Ian Usher’s friends and also even get a trial at his job in rug shop!
I’ve heard of clean breaks and Ian Usher is certainly made that. The reality though of course he hasn’t really been making the best decisions: $400,000 is pretty cheap for house in southern Perth, he probably would have got more for the house with a traditional auction and then sold the rest off on eBay. Anyone who is suffering from a traumatic life event such as divorce really should delay making serious life-changing decisions until they are over the shock. Ian Usher claims that he still wants to live in Australia but doesn’t really know what he wants to do. Now he is the position of not knowing what to do and living off his capital. Rumour has it that hollywood is interested in the film rights so it might work out well in the end

Crouzon’s syndrome is a rare genetic disorder whose sufferers have a deformed face and skull. Those with Cruzon’s syndrome often have wide-set, bulging eyes leading to serious vision problems and also can have hearing problems.
Sufferers of Cruzon’s Syndrome are usually of normal intelligence but their abnormal appearance must lead to a life of hell: we so often judge people by their looks rather than their mind. One of the things about the development of the internet chat rooms and other Web2.0 interactive sites is that people who are ill or crippled can actually participate online on an equal footing. Sure there is a lot of talk of mis-leading avatars but the reality is that some people, such as those suffering from Crouzon’s Syndrome, in the “real world” are judged and dammed everyday for something they have no control. Online they can interact on an equal footing without this level of pre-conception and judgment that strangers and acquaintances usually inflict on them. Although the growth of the internet is taking us into unchartered water as far as human interaction I think the disfigured and deformed have a wonder ful new world opening up for them because of it
