  Just an interesting observation as an #ACB2026 attendee. I just love how our convention is being held at a hotel which has a completely inaccessible in room thermostat. That's a lovely impression there. A fully touch screen based appliance, which I wouldn't even call usable. And this folks is exactly why there needs to be voiceover like capability on these devices, yet the only fully touch screen devices blind people can use so far as I'm aware,remains Iphones and Android devices! Ho...

  We're getting some narley thunderstorm activity here in southwest Houston. I think I better shut my equipment down here. Wow not used to thunder like this, so it's a bit facinating to me to get to experience this.

  For those that might remember the electronic store Fry's electronics, you might find this video a bit interesting. I visited a Fry's electronics store toward the end of its existence, and holy crap was that weird, seeing a store like that in the past had been just as busy as an Apple Store, be almost deserted. In fact when I went there to buy a hard drive, they actually didn't have any. That was just bizarre. But enjoy this video https://youtu.be/HLCwTYWXpzo?si=ltMnSG8efi...

  Well, I'll be at #ACB26 in St. Louis. Just coordinated with a friend, and we will be roommates there. Guess I should now register for the actual convention itself, now that I got the hotel stuff squared away. :) There is also a slight possibility I may end up in Austin during #NFB26 as well, though that isn't at all a for sure thing. But it is on my radar.

  This may be the coolest video I've watched today. This is an analysis of a girl's performance of a song. You might think it's auto tune, but you'll be in for a bit of a surprise. Check this out. I believe the analysis of this is being done by an actual vocal coach. https://youtu.be/wRt_2S9H5nA?si=RapMMNv2lqi5XD3g

  Hi everyone, I do still exist, I've just purposely been off mastodon for a couple weeks, visiting with friends out in Ventura California and now here in Reno, and you'll certainly be hearing from me more as the ACB convention approaches. Hope everyone is enjoying the beginning of summer

  That moment when trying to figure out the next plans for your summer adventures, you discover that flying to your possible next destination would be cheaper than taking an Amtrak train, never thought I would say that. Still have some thinking to do, with the final decision to be made tomorrow, but there is a bit of a possibility now, that I might end up in Austin Texas. Until I did research tonight, that possibility was looking extremely doubtful. So, let the summer adventures continue. People g...

  Well folks, I'll be at #NFB26. I'll be staying at the residence Inn, I believe that's the second of the overflow hotels, we will see how my experience will be. I arrived July 2, depart the area July 9, and if nothing else I absolutely look forward to the mock trial. See some of you beginning next Thursday, provided I don't get lost while trying to get between places, lol.

  This is kind of amusing, my reservation number for my upcoming trip on Southwest Airlines to Austin Texas on Thursday, looks quite similar to an amateur radio call sign. That'll make it easier for me to remember. It would be highly amusing if someone by chance flying on Southwest got the reservation number of KD6CAE. :)

  Wow just learned of the passing of Moya Brennan, founding member of the group Clannad. https://www.thejournal.ie/founding-member-of-clannad-moya-brennan-dies-aged-73-7011916-Apr2026/ May she rest in piece. She created very unique and cool music. I discovered her work back in the Napster days, even bought one of her albums at Tower Records after previewing it on Napster.

  They did it! It always amazes me that this even works. Going from crazy fast mach 33 to 0 in just 14 minutes! And they did it perfectly! Awesomeness! #Artemis2 Still listening to post landing coverage. Love when the crew said, "4 green crew members" and public affairs said that wasn't their complexion, I laughed, beautiful way to end the historic flight! Now we can get ready for crew recovery over the next couple hours
