Very exciting tech group last night.

We had our second monthly tech user group for people who are blind here last night. We had 20 people and six guide dogs in the room. Lots of laughter, lots of lively discussion, lots of knowledge sharing. I so love coordinating this program. It meets a real need in our community. It shows that people who are blind can assist others and help them learn. We can show each other what tech works, what apps work, and what we do. All age groups were represented. It was wonderful. You can follow us on twitter at @gttprogram. There is nothing like coordinating a program that touches your heart and that you feel passionately about. Thanks to everyone who makes this possible. Our next meeting on Monday Dec 17 we share our favourite apps with each other.

Great things about being blind. Meeting so many wonderful people through this blog.

Thanks to all of the new followers and the old followers too.  More people are reading this all of the time.  Sometimes I think what I have to say may not be all that interesting but aren't we all like that about ourselves?  I have met so many new and interesting people because of this blog and I really enjoy writing it.  Technology makes the world so much smaller.  And access technology has really assisted me with most aspects of my life.  I love all of the comments.  Thanks for them.  Last weekend, I was telling stories to a group and mentioned in my intro my blog.  Afterwards, someone came up and said they had already checked it out with their phone and really liked it.  If anyone has topic ideas for me to consider, please send them along too.
