Blind Bargains<p>Anyone else out there who went to <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/CSUNATC25" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CSUNATC25</span></a> remember anything about Thinkerbell's tiny braille display prototype? Sadly since my brain was not in podcast mode, I did not take any notes on it and Google doesn't seem to know anything.<br>I believe it was 32 cells. Braille was pretty firm but a bit less than Orbit, aiming for $1,000 and a November release. Definitely intriguing if true.</p><p>This is the same company behind the Annie braille learning aid, sold as Polly by APH in the U.S.</p>

ChanceyFleet<p>Dear friends at <a href="https://mas.to/tags/CSUNATC25" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CSUNATC25</span></a> — if you or your colleagues are negatively impacted by the very loud tile work happening in the Hilton lobby, especially in terms of nonvisual navigation, communication and networking, or sensory overload, please advise the desk manager; grab sound recordings; and speak up if you think collective action is warranted. I think it would be reasonable to suspend the use of jackhammers in our shared spaces for the duration of the accessibility conference.</p>
