Left NFB for the final time around 2 AM, packed, and caught a flight to Chicago at 5:30. Landed at 8 AM, dropped luggage at a locker, and went off on a Skydeck tour. Then we went on a food tour, basically learning about various landmarks and history while walking to a handful of restaurants. Now […]

This is old hat, but I truly don’t understand the main character syndrome of some blind people. Today alone, I’ve had two people bump into me and then proceed to shoulder check me as if I was in their bubble. Then, another person stood there, whacking my shoes with their cane…. Repeatedly!

As a resident of Austin, Waymos aren’t new to me. For a while now, they’ve been part of the roulette of using Uber. But this week—save for a single morning—I’ve gotten Waymos every single time leaving my house to the hotel! I’m not saying there’s a conspiracy or anything, it’s likely just […]

Another full day at #nfb26. Spent some time in the exhibit hall and now at the Computer science Division. Goodmaps seems to have a lot of issues locating the various Salons on the third level, but we made it!

I struggle to name what I look for in swag for it to be inclusive as a blind […]

Ok, I might stop after this one: The new Pope has a degree in mathematics from Villanova University. This guy doesn’t just understand sin. He understands cos.

I know I’ve been relatively quiet here lately. Breaking my silence to mention that I’ll be in Denver the weekend of February 7 until the 10th! If you’ve ever wanted to hang in person, drop me a DM and I can try to make it work. No promises, since time is limited and I already have some plans […]

After seven hours of deliberation, Israel’s government approves the Gaza ceasefire/hostages deal. https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-838033

Celebrating the early hours of my birthday by not being able to sleep, as one does. Sometimes I love waking up early, but this is not one of those days. Lately I've been swinging between getting 9 hours of sleep or 3, and something in the middle of this spectrum would be nice. I thought I had […]
