    Tech Tests and Taxi Terror: My Latest NYC Adventure
    Aug 12 2024
    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.)

  • From Exhibit Hall Hiccups to VIP Screenings: My Busy Orlando Trip

    From Exhibit Hall Hiccups to VIP Screenings: My Busy Orlando Trip
    Jul 17 2024
    In episode 267 of the iCantCU podcast, I talk about my recent trip to the NFB National Convention in Orlando. I start by mentioning my improved lighting setup in Studio B, hoping it looks better than last time. The convention was a whirlwind of activity, and I had the pleasure of meeting many incredible people, especially the lively folks from the NFB of Puerto Rico. I’m proudly wearing their blue shirt with tactile Braille on the back, which I think is really cool. I bought a few things at the exhibit hall, including some treats from Puerto Rico and a shirt from Massachusetts. Managing the exhibit hall table for the NFB of Pennsylvania was quite an experience, filled with vendor issues and sales of tote bags and candy bars. It was hectic, but the team’s enthusiasm made it worthwhile, and we learned a lot for next time. One of the highlights was attending a VIP screening of "Don't Look Now," where I met some cast members and enjoyed a post-screening hang. Hilarity ensues when I search for a quiet place for Brian to interview some of the cast and producers. Traveling was relatively smooth, thanks to some helpful TSA agents and airport staff who made the process easier. The convention itself was a mix of busy days and memorable moments. I enjoyed the camaraderie and efforts of my team, even though it was exhausting. From coordinating the exhibit hall to dealing with last-minute changes, it felt like being back in business again. Despite the chaos, it was a great trip, and I’m looking forward to future travels, though hopefully with a bit more relaxation next time. To hear more about the #NFB24 including a discussion on the resolutions, listen to episode 158 of That Real Blind Tech Show: https://www.iCantCU.com/trbts/.

A weekly must listen

I never thought that listening to the day-to-day events in the life of a blind person could be so interesting.
