ARTIST SCULPTS FAMOUS WORKS OF ART FOR VISUALLY IMPAIRED TO ENJOY

January 22, 2024 by Steve Sawczyn

My sister shared me this story and I thought it was so neat that I wanted to
share it with all of you. Note, when activating this link, you may need to find

SEEKING A NEW VPN PROVIDER, DOES ANYONE HAVE SUGGESTIONS?

December 29, 2023 by Steve Sawczyn

I’m looking for a new VPN provider and am curious if any of my readers use one
that they would recommend. I’ve been extremely happy with my current VPN
provider, ExpressVPN, but $116.95 billed every 12 months is frankly more than I
want to pay for a VPN service that I only use occasionally. Ideally, … Read more

TACTILE MARKS ON CURRENCIES

December 28, 2023 by Steve Sawczyn

I have been very interested in tactile markings on currency, in part because it
seems like this is a thing the US will never have. What I didn’t realize though
is just how many different systems and variations exist throughout the
world. Fortunately for me, my good friend Tom, aka The Blind Coin Collector,
wrote a fantastic … Read more

TESTING INTEGRATION WITH THE FEDIVERSE

October 21, 2023 by Steve Sawczyn

Recently, WordPress introduced a feature to enable blogs hosted on WordPress.com
to be directly integrated with the fediverse. This is particularly exciting to
me as I think the Fediverse has the potential to really bring people together in
ways that “traditional” social media is not able to accomplish. Now if you’re
reading this and wondering, … Read more

IF I HAD TO GIVE UP ONE WORD THAT I USE REGULARLY, I THINK THAT WORD WOULD BE,
“DISABILITY”

September 4, 2023 by Steve Sawczyn

WordPress has these daily writing prompts and while I often just ignore them,
this one caught my attention. If i had to give up a word that I use frequently,
I think that word would be “disability”. Disability is a word that is really
hard for me to avoid, especially given my work and given … Read more

RECALLING DETAILS ABOUT PEOPLE WITHOUT REMEMBERING THEIR NAME, IS THERE AN APP
FOR THAT?

July 31, 2023 by Steve Sawczyn

I’m just going to come right out and say it: I have a really hard time
remembering names. It’s not a blindness thing; it’s a me thing. I can remember
the most obscure details about people, but when it comes to important stuff like
names, my brain often just goes blank. I’ve often wished I … Read more
