Tech Tests and Taxi Terror: My Latest NYC Adventure

  • Summary

  • In episode 268 of iCantCU, I take you along on my latest trip to New York City, where I tested the accessibility of a new version of a financial app. The trip had its moments, from battling some equipment issues to a chaotic cab ride that had me questioning my life choices. I also finally got to visit the Jackie Robinson Museum, something I’ve been looking forward to for years. Using my phone’s assistive tech, I navigated the exhibits, but not without a few challenges. I also talk about my thoughts on working in an open office—spoiler alert, it’s not ideal for someone who relies on listening rather than seeing. And, of course, no trip to New York would be complete without a stop at Junior’s for some cheesecake with Jane. Listen for all the details, a few laughs, and some insights into accessible tech. After recording this episode, I was disappointed to see that more equipment problems in Studio B prevented the entire episode to be recorded on video. Apologies if you were hoping to watch this episode. Show notes at https://www.iCantCU.com/268 Links Mentioned (product links are affiliate links so that I may earn a commission.)
