TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 188 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is February the 16th 2024 as I record this, and today we are looking at the best ereader devices. I also talk a little bit about what it was like to watch the Super Bowl for the first time in like 20 years. Just a little word of warning, there is some fairly substantial construction noise going on the street outside that may intrude in the background. Additionally, yesterday the computer I use for recording for received a Windows Update that messed it up rather severely, and the processor is constantly maxing out, which means it makes a loud fan noise. So if you hear hissing noise in the background, that is what is happening. I just haven't had time to fix it yet, so between the construction noise and that hissing noise, we are going to have an adventuresome podcast today. Before we get to our main topics, let us do Coupon of the Week. This week's coupon is going to be for the audiobook of Ghost in the Razor, as excellently narrated by narrated by Hollis McCarthy. You can get the audiobook of Ghost in the Razor for 75% off at my Payhip store with this coupon code: WINTERRAZOR. That is WINTERRAZOR and that will be included in the show notes. That coupon code will be valid until March 1st, 2024. So if you find yourself needing an audiobook to break up the winter doldrums, we've got one ready for you. Now let's have some updates on my current writing projects. I'm pleased to report that Sevenfold Sword Online: Leveling, the second book in my LitRPG series, is now out and you can get it at Amazon and Kindle Unlimited. After a year's worth of sales data from the first book, I have concluded that LitRPG really does seem to perform best in Kindle Unlimited and audio so that is where it's going to go. It's currently in Kindle Unlimited and hopefully we should have audio in a few months, but we'll see how that works out and remind you that it's at Amazon and Kindle Unlimited. I'm not sure how long the series is going to be. I am leaning towards making it a trilogy and wrapping it up with the next book, but we will see how Leveling performs for the first 30 days it's out in the marketplace and maybe it would merit becoming a longer series, but if it sells at the level I expected it to, I think it will probably be trilogy. My next big project will be Ghost in the Veils, the second book in the Ghost Armor series with Caina, and I am 8,000 words into that, putting me on Chapter 2 and hopefully that will come out towards the end of March. It does need to come out before April because that's when I have a recording slot scheduled for it, so it does need to come out by then, so it's going to come out by then. I'm also about 26,000 words into Wizard Thief, the second book in the Half-Elven Thief series, and hopefully that will come out fairly quickly after Ghost in the Veils comes out. I am also writing the outline for Cloak of Titans, which would be the eleventh Cloak Mage book, and that will be my main project after Ghost in the Veils and Wizard Thief are out. In audiobook news, recording is underway for Shield of Storms, and hopefully that should be out in March sometime, but we will see how things go. 00:03:17 Reader Comment Before we get to our main topics, let's have a comment from a reader. James says: having just finished the Dragonskull series while waiting for Cloak of Titans, I thought how great it would be if there's a short story about Gareth's return home with Niara would be. His mother's reaction would be precious. Just starting on the Sevenfold Sword series. I love all your books and you have totally taken over my Kindle. Thanks, James. I am glad you have enjoyed all those books. In answer to your question, that is a fairly major part of the plot in Shield of Storms, where Gareth and companions return home. Just the difference is in the Shield War series, Gareth and his friends aren't the main characters. They're supporting characters and Ridmark is one of the main characters.   00:03:57 Thoughts on the 2024 Super Bowl Now let's talk about something a bit uncharacteristic: The Super Bowl. I did something I haven't done since the early 2000s, and I watched the entirety of The Super Bowl last week. The reason I did that was that some family members wanted to watch it, and I had no objection. So I watched The Super Bowl. Though to be fair, when I say watched, what I really mean is I had it on in the background while playing Icewind Dale on my iPad for the most part, along with some Skyrim on my Switch. I admit that when I was younger and more insufferable, I would make a point of refusing to watch The Super Bowl. Then I realized such an approach was self-defeating. Professional football is no better or worse than any other form of recreation. Additionally, connecting with people socially is not among my strengths, and very often sports discussions are the low hanging fruit of easy social engagement. That said, I don't exactly pay close attention to professional sports, so here is what I found interesting about The Super Bowl as an outsider, so to speak. I think an observer completely unfamiliar with American culture and professional sports, upon watching The Super Bowl, would conclude it was a 3 1/2 hour block of commercials infrequently broken up by two-minute clips of football. That said, the Christopher Walken commercial was the funniest one and also the one with Dunkin' Donuts. The NFL may not be a cartel in the strict legal definition of the term, but we all know it's totally a cartel, which is a pretty sweet position to be in because you have massive corporations like Apple and Verizon shelling out big bucks. So it's the Apple Music Halftime Show or the Verizon Pregame Show or whatever. I do think from an objective viewpoint that it is rather surprising that football became the predominant sporting event in America. And I think the reason has to do with the football commissioners rather foresightedly seeing the potential of broadcast television in the 1950s and the 1960s. American football, if you look at it from the outside, is this really weird mutant form of rugby with a lot of arcane terminology and non-intuitive rules, and compared to soccer or basketball, it's just a very slow and plodding game. There's 15 seconds of action and then everyone stands around for two or three minutes. It's time for a commercial break, brought to you by Verizon. Soccer and basketball are much faster paced If American football is the imperial system, then European football/soccer is the metric system that everybody else in the world uses. I suspect to really appreciate American football, you have to get into it as a child and grow up with it so all the weird rules become second nature, which is probably why the NFL embraced Taylor Swift so much this year, which did annoy some long-term NFL fans who are not fans of Swift's music. I don't really have an opinion on Taylor Swift one way or another, since I mostly listen to computer game soundtracks, that is my preferred musical genre. But like I said above, I think to really appreciate American football you have to grow up with it. Football doesn't quite have the cultural hegemony it had in the ‘80s and the ‘90s. It's still massively popular, but more and more parents are keeping their kids away from playing it because of the danger of long-term head injuries or because of all the many sketchy things the NFL has done over the years. Though, to be fair, it's not like FIFA is a paragon of business ethics either, so you have more young people who don't grow up with it and therefore can't be bothered to pay attention. But Swift is popular with the young people, and the NFL desperately wants more of the young people watching the games. I don't think the Super Bowl or the NFL season is scripted in advance, but I can definitely see how people come to that conclusion, partly because the NFL's broadcasts are so slick and media savvy that they feel like they should be scripted. I think it's mostly because the human brain has this tendency to see systems and order where there is in fact, nothing more than chaos. Though this year's Super Bowl game was so dramatic, with the Chiefs squeaking out a win in overtime, that it feels like it should have been written in advance. Finally, are football and professional sports the modern “bread and circuses” like they had in the Roman Empire? Maybe. But if they are, is that necessarily even a bad thing? If you look at history, every large civilization has had games and public spectacles as part of the maintenance of social and public order. Some aspect of human psychology really seems to require it. There's lots to criticize about the NFL, but it's certainly better than a lot of the stuff the Romans got up to or early medieval tournaments, which were mock battles that sometimes escalated into actual battles that turned into actual local wars. Perhaps modern professional sports or a more efficient and usually more bloodless method of public spectacle. So I don't really have any grand conclusions here, just observations from an outsider's perspective made while watching the Super Bowl and mostly playing Icewind Dale on my iPad, though I am pleased to report that in Icewind Dale during The Super Bowl I defeated an ogre with a bunch of Level 1 characters and my thief and my cleric both leveled up during the game. When I talked about this on my Facebook page, my readers had some good comments, so I thought I'd read a few of the few of few of them here.   00:09:11 Reader Comments on the 2024 Super Bowl Our first comments from William, who writing from the perspective of someone in the UK, says: I've seen the Super Bowl described as one of the great shared cultural experiences of the US and one of those times you can enjoy American football even if you're not really into the sport otherwise. It's one of those times you get together with family acquaintances you have few, if any common interests with. I think that's true and that's some good insight there. An opposing comment comes from reader named Mary, who says: I grew up breathing NFL. My sons played football through high school. As an adult, I watched consistently until I moved to an area without many services. Went four years without TV. Ordered a new streaming device and service. I hoped to bring some of those great memories forward. My goodness, what a disappointment. The commercials are heavily pharma-based or bad food. Gambling is another frequent advertisement. You're correct, the advertising is the point. I spend most of my free time reading, a much more immersive experience. Cancelled my service today with relief. So we can also see that the emphasis on ads during The Super Bowl and I think during regular football games as well, really does turn off some viewers. I definitely approve of reading as someone's main form of recreation, though I admit that might be a bit of self-interest on my part. 00:10:24 Main Topic: Best ereaders for 2024 in the US Now let's continue on to our main topic: the best ereaders available for 2024 in the US market. A couple of notes before we start. This is not sponsored. There are no affiliate links here. I'm not getting paid for anything I say here and these are just my opinions and research we are talking about on the show today. Because technology changes so quickly, I want to emphasize that this is current information or current information to the best of my ability as of February 2024, and since I'm based in the US, this mostly applies to the US market. It's definitely a good idea to do your own research when you're buying an electronic device, especially regarding specs, and especially if you have very specialized needs. The information was pulled together with a lot of help from my podcast transcriptionist by combing through user reviews and looking at testing from popular magazines such as Consumer Reports, Wired, PC Magazine, Good Housekeeping, and similar magazines. So I suppose we should start with the obvious question. Why have a dedicated ereader when you can easily read ebooks on your phone or tablet? An ereader does have several advantages that you don't get with a phone or a tablet. For one thing, it's lighter. It's easier to use with one hand, which, depending on the size of your tablet or phone, may be impossible. It also helps with eye strain if you're using a dedicated grayscale ereader. It doesn't have a backlight or it has a much weaker backlight than a tablet or phone will have, and therefore it is generally easier on the eyes, though that can vary from person to person. And it can also help you to focus on reading and minimize distractions, because if you're reading on a tablet or a phone, you might get a lot of notifications coming in from text messages or emails or social media and all that, all of which can pull you out of the book you are trying to read. So if you are a serious reader and you don't mind reading ebooks, it can be definitely worth your while to have a dedicated ereader. So let's look at the most popular model of ereader, which of course in the US and several other countries is the Amazon Kindle. In general, Kindles are superbly integrated with the Amazon ecosystem, but they generally don't work well with non-Amazon or non-Kindle products. I've run into that a few times myself on my Payhip store (which hopefully you will visit soon to get your discounted copy of the audiobook of Ghost in the Razor). I often have to include several different kinds of file formats to work with whatever generation of Kindle people might be using. Additionally, if you use your local library's ebook service and they use Libby, not all Libby books are available for Kindles. A couple of times I've run into that, where I want to check out an ebook from Libby and it turns out that it's not available for Kindle, which is kind of disappointing because then you have to read it on your phone, which defeats the purpose of this episode. For specific Kindle models, the Kindle Oasis seems to be the high end one, and because it has the strongest backlight, it is considered generally best for reading at night. The Kindle Paperwhite seems to be overall the best reviewed and most popular model. It is lightweight. It weighs less than half a pound and it is waterproof. It has strong reviews from many review publications like Wired and Good Housekeeping and has a major fan following. Finally, the perhaps most esoteric Kindle ereader would be the Kindle Scribe. It's the biggest one, designed for note taking. So that's something that interests you that might be worth investigating, though it would be harder to hold the Kindle Scribe with one hand. After the Kindles, probably the most popular model of ereader in the US is the Kobo family. I'm a big fan of Kobo. Most of my books are available on Kobo, and most of them are also in Kobo Plus, their subscription program. In general, Kobos are best for people who do a lot of side loading, which involves taking ebook files and loading them manually onto your device and people who want a lot of customization. The one weakness of Kobo is that we're not entirely sure how well it will work with the various library services. The OverDrive app is being retired in favor of Libby and Kobo relies heavily on OverDrive because Kobo's parent company, Rakuten, used to own OverDrive for a while until they sold it off. So with OverDrive going away in favor of Libby, it's sort of an open question how well Kobos will integrate with library services in the future. Additionally, it's important to note that audiobooks and magazines from Libby are not presently available for Kobo devices. Hopefully that will change in the future, but that is the case right now. For specific models of the Kobo, Eclipsa is considered the best for people who like to take notes and annotate the actual pages, and it has the feature where you can convert handwriting to type text and then export those notes to Dropbox. The Kobo Clara model is the budget option that still has waterproofing, which is different from the Kindle base model, which doesn't. The Paperwhite does. I don't think the Oasis has waterproofing, but the Kindle Paperwhite does. If you are one of those people who likes to read in the bath and you drop your ereader, hopefully it will survive the immersion till you get it out of the water. Clara does have that waterproofing feature. The most popular model seems to be the Kobo Libra and it's best for those who are not locked into the Amazon ecosystem or another specific vendor. It has a very loyal cult following. It has physical page turn buttons, for those who prefer that feature, and it is highly regarded for its screen clarity. It also has very good battery life, which again is one of those strengths of ereaders over phones and tablets, which tend to be charging every other day, especially because the Libra settings allow you to easily shut off the Wi-Fi, dial back the lighting, and so forth to extend the battery life. So Kindle and Kobo are the big ones, but there's a couple others we should address. One of them is the Nook Glowlight, which is the current ereader available from Barnes and Noble. The tricky part with Barnes and Noble is that while they do have ebooks, it is not really a priority for the the company's current management, which has chosen to focus primarily on physical bookselling and which has apparently kept Barnes and Noble from going bankrupt. So good thing. But they're not hugely as interested in ebooks as they used to be. The Glowlight is best for those who have a lot of Barnes and Noble gift cards to use, since that's a popular present or who already have a lot of ebooks from Barnes and Noble. Unfortunately, it does not integrate very well with public library software like Libby. It can be done, but it is a lot of work and not nearly as easy as it is with the Kindle or the Kobos. And there are complaints of system problems like it's difficult to set up or prone to freezing. Another popular but niche ebook reader is the Onyx Boox Tab, which is a tablet with a color E ink display and the picture quality resembles color newspapers (for those of you who are old enough to remember when newspapers had color pictures). It has a loyal cult following, especially with comics and manga readers, and it has good note taking features. However, the big weakness is it is expensive and costs around $600.00 USD. Now, while we've mostly focused on dedicated ereaders, the truth is that tablets can in fact be very good ereaders if you know what you want and you know what you want to use them for. The advantages tablets have over ereaders is that they are more versatile than ereaders. And if, like nearly all of us, you are on a budget and limited what you can spend, which, let's be honest, is true of everybody, it may make more sense to buy a device that can do many things instead of an ereader which can do just one thing. Tablets are also good for those who aren't committed to a single source for their ebooks. You can easily download apps for all of the main ebook stores on an iPad. You can have the Kindle app, the Barnes and Noble app, the Kobo app, and a bunch of library services such as Libby and Hoopla, and you can enjoy them all on one device. Tablets are also good for those who enjoy reading manga or magazines often because if you have a color display, you can see the illustrations that come in a magazine or an ebook that has a lot of color illustrations, like a technical manual or a history book that has a lot of color plates, and the larger screens minimize the need for constantly zooming text. This is something I have done myself. I have a Kindle Fire HD-10 and I also have a bunch of various PDFs I bought from the Pathfinder company from a Humble Bundle and it's a lot easier to read PDFs in color on a Kindle Fire than it is on a dedicated ereader because you can move around the page easily. The screen is big enough you can see most of the text. You can see all the illustrations in color. It's really nice. So let's take a look at the specific families of tablets and nowadays, for all practical purposes, there are three major tablet families. The first and the most successful one is the iPad. Everyone knows what the iPad is. It's the best device for those who want to use it for web browsing, media use, and ebook reading. The iPad Pro models are rather overpowered for normal reading and web browsing and media use. They're also quite a bit more expensive. The base model iPad is the cheapest it's ever been. I think as of right now, as of this recording you get a base model iPad for about $329, which while a lot of money, is still significantly cheaper than has been in the past. And it also is a very capable device that can do everything we've listed above. The second major family is the Samsung Galaxy Tab, which is generally well regarded and is the iPad's chief competitor, and it gets high reports for reliability and performance from all the reviews. You get access to the full Google Play Store so you can install a bunch of apps and you can get all the different ereader apps and all the different library apps on Samsung Galaxy Tab. The third major tablet family is Amazon Fire tablet line. I have one and I'm quite happy with it. It's better for those who play games or watch videos heavily, since it's very strongly tied into Amazon's media ecosystem. So it does make a pretty good portable video player if you are tied into Amazon's Prime Video ecosystem. It's not as convenient for sideloaders, and the biggest weakness of the Amazon Fire is that you only have access to Amazon's curated App Store. You don't have access to the full Google Play ecosystem, which is a lot bigger and more vibrant than Amazon's App Store. Very often you will find popular Android and iOS apps that are available for regular Android tablets like the Samsung Galaxy or for the iPad are just not available on the Amazon Fire. So I'd say overall that's it's biggest weakness. It is possible to install the Google Play Store on the Amazon Fire, though, it does take a bit of finagling, and given the rumors that that Amazon is planning to develop its own operating system for its Fire tablets, that option may go away in the future. So that is something to bear in mind. And I thought it would be interesting to wrap up the show by sharing what I personally use for ereading and what my podcast transcriptionist personally uses for ereading, since she did most of the research for this episode and helped me pull it all together. The transcriptionist's favorites that she likes are the Kindle Paperwhite for outdoor reading. It's easier than eyes on the eyes than the tablet screen. She prefers the iPad for magazines and books with lots of color photographs, like cookbooks. For myself, I do most of my reading on a Kindle Oasis that I bought before COVID broke out in 2020, which, given the amount of reading I did during COVID, turned out to be a really good investment. After four and a half years, it's still going pretty strong and I'm hoping to keep on using it for several years to come. For a tablet, I have an iPad that I use pretty regularly. I do some reading on it when I have some with a lot of photographs, though for most color reading I have a Kindle Fire 10 that I got for editing because in my final stage of editing my books, I use it to read the book aloud to catch anything weird and hopefully fix any lingering problems, but it's also really great for viewing full color PDF files because you can load the PDFs on the Kindle Fire and then they show up in your library. It's very easy and convenient and smooth to read them on the Kindle Fire HD-10. So that is what I personally use for ereading. So that's it for this week.

徒手空拳日記 2021年12月31日金曜日 日々の生活にクルマが必需品となって、スーパーのカゴみたいなプラスティックのバスケットをダイソーで買い、そのなかに図書館で借りてる本や、読みかけの本をブッ込んで、移動書斎にしています。運転中はKindleの音声読み上げで耳読書、運転しない時間は紙の本の読書や、ラピッドロギングです。 神保町の東京堂書店の、買った本をカゴにいれるスタイルを、参考にしました。いわばモバイル積ん読です。Kindle Fire HDとか、クリップボード付書類ボックスとペンも、入れています。寝るときはベッドの横に置いています。偉人のルーティンを分析すると、朝起きて飯も食わずに、午前中にはアウトプットをすべて終え、午後は散歩と読書など、インプットに費やす、カントのようなルーティンのパタンが多いとか。 モバイル積ん読バスケットで、寝る前だけでなく、移動時間やスキマ時間が、読書時間になります。これだと、出かける時に持っていく本をチョイスする手間が省けます。レベルファイブの自動運転が現実となれば、クルマの中で移動しながら本を読むこともできるようになるでしょう。 おそらく10年以内には、我々のクルマ選びは劇的に変わると思います。なぜならクルマ生活そのものが変わるからです。クルマで目的地についても、駐車場に停めるのではなく、クルマがそこらへんを、自動運転でぐるぐるまわっているようになるかもしれません。オーナーがオフィスで働いているあいだに、マイカーは自動運転タクシーでダブルワーク、なんて時代も来るかもしれません。 運転とは究極のシングルタスクであり、その人の命を人質にすべての注意力を奪い取る、非人間的な奴隷労働でしかありません。運転が自由につながる、というGMがでっち上げた20世紀最大のウソが、ようやっと無意味になります。 バスは一日一度来る、という俺ら東京さ行ぐだの歌詞みたいな、田舎の鉄道や路線バスが、採算が取れずにどんどんなくなっていくなかで、自動運転技術によって、自分は年老いて運転できなくなっても、日本のどこにでも住める時代に、やがてなると思います。限界集落の消滅です。もうすでに、自動運転のほうが、人の運転よりも事故の確率は低くなっており、アメリカや中国ではすでに、バンバン現実化しています。 中国のいまを知らない日本人は、中国のデジタル産業革命をわざと伝えない日の丸政財官学マスメディアによって、盲にされています。明治維新の頃、逆転された中国人は早稲田大学にたくさんの留学生を送り出しました。 井の中の蛙大海を知らず、ふるさと納税とか、燃料電池自動車とか、年末にまたネット振込できないみずほ銀行とか、オワコンの満洲国2.0の来年は、かなり厳しいものになるだろうなと、私は予想しています。 本日は以上です。ありがとうございました。 人のゆく裏に道あり花の山

Wellcome to the 11th EBU Access Cast. This time we have a special episode on Sight City 2019 and we talk about all interesting tech goodies we saw at the conference. At the beginning of the episode you can listen to the interviews which Mario and Tanja prepared, and than after Mario, Tanja, Bart and our special guest Paweł Masarczyk  who is very known podcaster from Poland in the Tyflopodcast discuss all about the things they saw at the Sight City. The first interview comes from Vispero group where Jan Blum presented to us what's new with all series of their products such as JAWS, Zoom, Fusion, and also Focus Blue braille displays 5g: 14, 40 and 80 characters. Jan also informed us about Omni reader: scanning and reading device as well as the products from Optelec Germany: video magnifier CCTV device with 16 inch screen. In the second interview we spoke with Mr Siegfried Kipke, CEO of Help Tech that is for many listeners better known as former Handy Tech which is a very good German manufacturer of braille devices. The products demonstrated in this interview were Actilino, portable and compact braille notetaking device with 16 ergonomic concaved braille cells, unique functions such as detection of the reading positioning, bluetooth connectivity with up to 4 different devices in the same time for transferring files or to use it as a braille display, magnetic USB connection, 16 gb of storage and support for SD cards plus standard lithium batteries which are possible to find in todays smartphones. We also spoke about Active Braille and Active Star braille devices, and we had a chance to see the new Active Braille Plus with 40 cells which has similar functionalities as Actilino, but with aditional 40 braille sells, and new rabber keys which make this unit really very quiet when typing. In addition, it supports Kindle and Kindle Fire HD  devices and the plan is to add the support for the Amazon's Alexa assistant. Our next visit was at the Kanematsu corporation booth and we spoke with the manager Mr. Tetsuo Takamatsu about their new product called TactPlus. TactPlus  is a product from Japan and it represents the first braille and 3d image printer which uses thermal printing on capsule paper. It has only 5 kg and it has the same size as a standard Inkjet printer. We were standing closely while the printer was working and we couldn’t hear any noise coming out from it. In fact our opinion is that this is the most silent braille printer that we herd so far, and we were very positively surprised by the quality of the embossed graphics and braille text. Another very good product which we demonstrated in the next interview is BraiBook and it comes from Spain. It is the first portable braille book reader with only 1 braille cell that has a size of a computer mouse. The cell can be refreshed at the desired speed which can be adjusted with a little joystick located on the left side of the device. Mr. Eric Sicard showed us the product and he explained to us that BraiBook supports currently 40 languages which are provided via the open source Liblouis braille translator, and that it also provides the text-to-speech functionality for users who want to read it via TTS through additional headphone jak. With 64 gb of internal memory, users have more than enough space to store thousands of ebooks in various formats such as Epub, PDF or TXT files and read it on the go. In few minutes we were able to get the unit going along and read the text very fast. The APH booth was very busy with the demonstration of their new products, and one of them which we saw in action was Code Jumper for which we can't wait the official release in Europe. As you will hear from our comments later in the episode, the rest of our team is also very happy with Code Jumper and our opinion is that the product has very bright future in the blindness community. Besides Code Jumper we  also saw BrailleBuzz which is really cool gadget for very young blind students who are just starting to learn braill. Speaking of braille devices, on the APH stand they presented also the Braile Trail, 14 cell braille display which is produced by HumanWare. Another company which is bringing lot of attention for last few years comes from Korea, and it is possible to see them almost on every assistive technology conference. They are called Dot incorporation, so we went to see what do they have in store for us this time. We were able to see the Dot Watch which was previously mentioned in our episodes, but we were also able to see the brand new low cost braille reader Dot Mini. It has 16 braille cels and built in speaker, Dot Mini represents modern reading unit and portable Braille display for blind people. The unit has also TTS support as well as the support for Daisy format, support for SD cards, USB and Bluetooth. Besides all the things we mentioned, we saw a bunch of other things for which we didn't have the time to do the interviews such as meteg product: 2 dimentional graphic braille display, Tactonom by Inventivio and Seika braille displays by Nippon Telesoft. Another cool thing which we mentioned in the later section of the podcast which we saw was the washing machine that has buttons with tactile markings. The buttons are also touch sensitive and by touching them will produce a sound to distinguish the number of the turns in the spin cycle or the desired temperature in a predefined program. The washing machine is designed to be accessible to visually impaired and it is manufactured by Miele. Miele started to make home appliances with universal design in mind since 2007, and on the next link you can read more information about it. Pawel saw also an interesting product from Italy called FelixPhone, which is bringing another adopted smartphone for blind people, Mediavoice - Speaky Facile, the device which connects thru your smart TV, and Bruno, the reading Machine for low vision and blind people. Last year the EBU Access Cast was launched on the Global Accessibility Awareness Day. Therefore at the end of this episode we tell you why this day is inportant for our community and we are sharing with you a short but very informative article about it. We hope that this episode was interesting to you and that we were able to bring at least a small piece of many different things which were possible to see and experience on this years Sight City. As always you are free to leave us the comments and the suggestions on our e-mail and Twitter and we're looking forward to be back with you in June.

A problem that didn't need to meet my lower body a standard right and then the even episode ninety was delayed for multiple reasons feel dr there was a tornado that knocked out power heals your means, too long didn't read okay this is so that there was a tornado. [0:47] Delayed a whole bunch of things we lost power in our city I still don't have heat in my office, HVAC unit got blown off the building also two trees down nobody died here but they're six tornadoes a touchdown lot of Destruction and a lot of it was around $0.02 around my office and there was places in the city without power for up to 5 days i just prayed that could of solomon trail goes through a district substation right, but, tomato sauce with the week of ignite we're supposed and we were supposed to do dailies from ignite we have no power we were dealing with other issues, so we didn't do our foreign correspondents Rafael and the boys formula coffee clutch. We weren't able to connect with them so we didn't covered nightfall not there's a get well tomatoes fault, the tornado then we did actually record an episode that fell apart it was a awesome recorded it that way from eight with with tactical issues and then call and when had a death in the family that you look that so, and how long since your last episode. [2:09] I'm about 4 weeks about 4 weeks August 22nd August 22nd okay and the last time we recorded this we actually had Whirlwind as our word of the week but hey guys what about the word of the week, but what about this week's worth of the week I should be different I thought it was tornado was her word of the week tornado Whirlwind I can't remember, about leather leather is fine corinthian leather in corinthian leather yeah another test get there all, sure alright that don't touch the leather.

[2:57] So leather all right now. Where do you want to start David do you want to go right into a product with you our last episode I talked about the surface go that I tried in New York City, come, I see you've got something that you have a service call if you have a Surface tablet that had a crack in the screen that I happen to buy the extended warranty on and, they don't just fix it they just give you the money back or so I had, money burning a hole in my pocket so I picked up one so which model to get. Eight one twenty eight i think it would be silly to buy the four k for sure the forty-eight would run while but eventually sure is that the one with the sst years at the one with the. The best hard drive healthy ssd1 called UCM EMC, communication not buying these things for performance correctly so you didn't get the Costco on the cost going to make it out quite nicely, I only have 4 gigs of memory 128 storage I'm not sure what type of storage so that's it ideal combination but my reef my rebate of $330 wasn't Acosta how much of the total amount. [4:18] It's about $800 - 300 Canadian Canadian dollars. What's. Had its ups okay to tell us about what he thinks first impressions on but we didn't do it you did do it on boxing anything but what you numbers up so it is the it's the exact same for form factor as my apple. IPad 2 which is probably for 5 years old exact same Corners almost the exact same screen size the exact same thickness which is. [4:57] So you a little bit odd does it looks more like an apple from up front so you think that they bought a bunch of refurb to iPads and slammed slammed surface bits in them yeah, yeah it's a conspiracy, really the only thing I can see, they should have put a bit of extra weight in that and add the battery last a bit longer. Set the fuck up, okay not mistaken what was that Neva Neva scan Beacon, caca the eighties so any i can get use to the keyboard, yeah you know for when it does it slot better than any touch typing on screen would be so i don't think that's really a challenge with the keyboard for say that microsoft dismayed okay i think it's just a problem with the size of a ten inch form factor, so really there's no point it's. [6:14] Not a must-have for sure cake so how much will you say the battery is not fantastic how much you getting out of it like four hours really, real well that's disappointing very disappointing. [6:30] God wanted to look it up like that whole day out of my $69 Canadian $69 Kindle Fire HD. [6:41] I can get more than that have an iPad I can have more than that out of my circle you definitely get more of an iPad Surface connector so you know when you're at your desk, you can get your external monitors bigger keyboard now that really bad right here and I'm like the new Surface spices for Microsoft it as a USBC will charge it will well, what was so I charged it with my regular cell phone adapter, and it charged so I think the fact that I charged it all was good okay but I have more powerful you, PC device adapters light comes with the laptop and the docking station for Adele and those will go. Those will charge quickly I'm sure but I was surprised like this with the phone adapter it was actually charging. To be hand if you're stuck somewhere as earned don't have lives in glass for the new discharging. I just turned it on and left okay I wouldn't be surprised it would just break even fill this wouldn't even make up across Continental flight, battery wise. Alright so that's very very disappointed, when does a pass or fail. It depends on the surface pen to surface, bail bondsman someday, buy one as soon as I get my TSA check but just very disappointing. [8:10] It is quite expensive to so really if it was around $500 with a keyboard instead of 800 with keyboard. [8:19] I think that would bust my that i think what i'd rather do is buy a one of the news surface laptop i think three pilling from a whole ji at for on like three hundred dollars for yeah at four and on on on on at the top and. If the i seven or is that they don't i nine yet so now okay. Alright so that's it for that show we move on, new story of the week now you didn't mention what your, keep or case is made out of hearts wanna find corinthian leather is or so ago can them thirsty here. [9:00] Gonna suck so in that big long in from while we were away there will i lose. The conference the us there was Microsoft ignite Microsoft ignite for the first time in quite a number of years no surface Miss were there, so what did I say about that. All that introduce the new version of office that's basically a subset of officer sixty five four on perm customers when from cousin has a cute, what else did you go to breakfast so off the oven office twenty nineteen is now available for mac and pc. [9:38] Those of you that are not falling biscuits confusing the office three sets on a new one that you wanna have right write his office three sixty-five just been out for a few years and depending on what skew of officer sixty five you have the disk anyone for example you do not get an office pay you'll get any office off or, UCB online office off we don't get a local install office software so you have to go to the E3 or Business Essentials or business by mistake. It's like four bucks so you don't have to have it but my mistake would not be one of them yes right PC, example use water email so depending on which version of office to sixty five you buy you also get five per user five installs of microsoft office is close, Pro Plus father's claim Office 365 I believe in. [10:33] It's part of your license as long as you're paying your light your monthly license fee you have usage rights but what if you stop paying. Have you straight anymore that this is the perpetual license so for instance if you bought office, 2007 back in 2007 or 2008 or whenever you whenever you want it you could still run it that Microsoft support anymore it'll give you updates or anybody but you own it you can run it forever. Legally run it forever however office365 you stop paying your monthly you can't legally run anymore. [11:09] Talk a little bit about the differences so that's the licensing side of it right so office twenty nineteen is based on the feature set more or less that we saw in late spring early summer, in Office 365 Office 365 gets updated on a, randomly, hopefully not random well someone's got a plan but lisa mc maybe collectively sure so, features are the features come out regularly and it's always upgrading and it's really focused on integrating with the rest of the office to sixty five sweet, which is that online experience and that cloud experience not to say that office 2019 does, lie to connect a cloud services but. What, but Office 365 will keep getting more and more cloud looks to other services like yeah I after she learning and it whatever new functionality comes out in Office 365. [12:11] So that's one big piece of news and and what what's the next Feast well that's good news alright so, ex off now uses a i'll help you create a better presentation spreadsheets and things like that in the office apt to look at what you're trying to do it suggest a better way to present it. It's always been suggestions but now looks like yeah looks like you're trying to write a letter but a lot more though it's looking at the. Practices for presentations and spreadsheets and charts and things like that so be fun to try that out. I have a friend who's going to company that's focused on doing just that for businesses to make your presentations better so really like to have to take that I'd like to see what his thoughts are on it, so we can talk then we talk a lot the last episode yes the last lost. [13:17] I am, this allows you to have your virtual desktop and let Asher as opposed to having to setup terminal terminal servers are those her on hold on hold on, talk about sessions vs instances okay. Olden days or what people when using terminal server or what we on when i call have a session based computing you have a single wes, air by many users right right so they can all connect to it can like that, Mainframe concept and to be honest the first instance of this on Windows electrical twin frame and it was a modified kernel buys Citrix. [14:12] Yes and I thought it was a very clever. Back into the 80s that did this stuff on PCS to. A tarp for Dawson for a long time, we were talking about virtual desktops were talking about what, colloquially people call vdi VMware coined the term vdi virtual desktop infrastructure what it is maybe I were talking about multiple. [14:47] Dances so there be multiple virtual machines and i each person can x to one persistent or not, stop spread today appear and disappear maybe they're just there for you at the next. Get well Windows 7 or Windows 10 OS 8.1 if you really must each user gets their own or, whatever else you want to call this other words for that. That one machine with multiple users and that's a great Segway into our next item that will talk about but why is this important for the first time now. Windows 10 is available as a paid service directly from Microsoft and Azure and you can have, stop there so sorry technology change you could have always run, to bring your license and your license to allow you to do that night just by making us buy it and turn it off and not using it all sorts of things like that so. [15:57] Basically promoted desktops in someone else's Data Center, tornado outage here people are using that they can accept connect to edgerton woden. [16:08] Okay now the next one is Microsoft brings multi-user virtualization to, windows and office instances where each user gets thrown instance of now in Windows 10. You can use Windows 10 essentially as what we used to call a terminal server to have multiple users connect to Italy travel each have a session Windows 10 not Windows Server that's correct now why is that important David. Because Windows 10 Windows Server are very similar to each other. But not the same exactly so in the olden days, last month if you wanted to do session-based Computing yeah you would have to do it on a Windows server and it had it had present it has session Services right and remote desktop services that you would turn on and you would uninstall your software you have to jump through hoops to install off we're not big Hoops but you install software, and let people connect to it up Here's the catch alright. [17:14] When developers build applications for Windows and user Windows Windows 10 or Windows 7 that's a good example of say, Adobe Photoshop the developers built that they tested it on Windows 7 latest on Windows 8 the test on Windows 10 they got it logo certified, with all the criteria and then some sysadmin somewhere takes that app, add fries to shoehorn it on to Windows Server which is very similar but not the same, and it may or may not work and then you have to go through all sorts of remediation and things like that, application for certified to work with the remote desktop services but others were not so is very limiting. And you get sometimes really funky heirs. [18:01] And then gift because the cold is writ for windows ten and you try to run on windows server and may or may not work. [18:11] But my sister will definitely so now that's that's gone but secondly you don't have to worry about the cost Associated Windows server. [18:23] And and although there would be a conditional class here for extra license, but of course not. The whole server licensing right, how you could run a server on a desktop but if we all did. And a lot of small businesses are afraid of servers, a server that's, yeah that happened in your office before we're kilobit drive you places cuz people hitting afraid of service for so log but. [18:56] They don't work anymore exactly yes so that's the news about Windows 10 and. Multi-user virtualization as well as virtual desktop to similar related but different announcements. Okay alright. [19:19] Just after it night october second at with the west microsoft heads three three new i just for new. 1 2 3 updated products. So the first one they update it was the surface laptop and I'm very excited by that it has everything you'd want except USBC Port that's right. Is that believe there is one of LT1 block yes everything everything's available black. How's the way they will have a surface pro and black as well they have a lot, so yesterday the new laptop and its exact same time the Old it's just. No thinner nothing Cur and more powerful 1.8 times as powerful and you know the old one. Obviously it's not a power user computer in either case you probably want to go for Surface Book 15 if you need a lot of power but this would way way less Island it blows, no bother have really been any MacBooks in a while that's a little bar on the keyboard that changes now it's got touch, it's a touch screen David doesn't have a little touch banking. [20:44] Okay that doesn't have a high price of the macbooks yeah i got a high price not the summer has size similar person it then they brought a surface pro sex again has the lack of usb c, so interesting name. Because if it wasn't the five going to call it the five because it was really confusing cuz they're originally when they first watch that people may not remember but before the Surface Pro 3 there were two others. Dress made of leather leather. [21:24] Leather Burns front of them shirt, help just like wouldn't when television first came out nobody called it black and white television, and actually when colors I look good in whittwood color television came out what happened was, they started calling at color television to differentiate it from normal television which wasn't color right then sometime into the evolution of color television that became the new normal nice are referring to black and white television where that was the famous picture for manual transmission yes. But, I bought a couple but anyway then we're using it here for our soundboard aren't we so high five as we can hear it still works great but then came the Surface Pro 2 Surface Pro 3 which is finally I hit Surface Pro 4 also hit and then they went back to school to Surface Pro, if a candidate that makes the right of the original one didn't exist but as you can here it does exist pass yet so i'm gonna call that when the five to tell me about the six, again they have increase the power. Exact same case so you know this nice little folding not the back that you know the same keyboard 7 change any of that but it's just it's just faster and black races green and black. [22:53] But not small, it really small vessel life if they just increase the the quality of bezel that the screen but i mean it was harassment plus whatever if you know you have a nice mac avid nice, surface for whatever even a surface 3 when they're fantastic screens the app so what they're better. But back to the USBC the reason I don't I just like it it's cuz it's everything is just be coming in that USBC and it's it's just it's not that you need it in your bag all the time, it's just that they they could have put it in there but I guess they wanted to wait until. [23:29] Thunder bolts and everything and have all the standards out and no fuss no muss smell, with very conservative play which is Xbox better than what they did when the original Surface Book came out and it didn't really work too well right well there's been rumors that the, the EU might Force Apple to standardize on USBC and get away from their lightning connector on their phones on their phones. Which better than a while ago from you I think yeah. Okay sure it's a lot more so like I find the USB that was granted there more cheap vendors making USB C cables but you can still squeeze it and bend it right you can't leave Den. Lightning press the the shield around the USB C connector alright so what's next, what's next hell we didn't talk so we talked about those headphones headphones so I don't know why they made the headphones but they look really nice. [24:40] My kids want them but you know what the world headphones right 350 Us gift card so, so I told you the story about my son and his little adventure to the, Texas parolee satisfy the gift cards and stuff like that so I might buy some I don't know if that's only set to headphones lying around, my house at three set the good headphones hear about three or four sets a good headphones at home on opening the set the can of there's another. [25:12] Tell me about use it towards surface Co Staples surface got okay let's move on to. HP the says that, a leather case on the outside live there let. Find currently that is the case i just like to retire don't know it's it's on the outside like elka terror what of the stove is okay inside and, of course it's done to the computer it's made it way more efficient well hopefully that works, they get to him that i was dry clean only cuz leather that's true that's so i don't think we'll wipe which one of you this is is some. Happier in this computer is like 18 hours of battery life is just huge the thing that makes sense is if you're going to carry around a folio of some sort with it in it. [26:15] That it would kind of be the same instead of you would just carry the system without a case Okay so David. I want you skip the next item okay and come back to it's okay I took care of you on the 2nd next one. So what to expect in from the Windows 10 October 2018 update or what we're affectionately calling 1809 the thing here is when we wrote that article, it was a what to expect and then said we were 12, but something's happened since then David it's there's a new feature in Windows 10 delete your files saved increases the space, leaving for spite building fossil currently it happens fairly small situation did you know you can re direct your desktop gas to one drive yes i do that. Oh well I don't and apparently those are the people that might have been. [27:12] I got in there yeah. Well it's really hard for Microsoft recorded all these different vendors of different products and make sure that things work, but wait no no one derives from Microsoft Windows from Microsoft Microsoft I thought it was from Apple, don't know okay and then they got these people called insiders they're supposed to test all these things but I think they're getting paid too much cuz obviously they're not doing a good job at tested this stuff, so there's a couple things that are bit frustrating when is that they released it, to the slow ring in the fast ring like a week before pushing it out to everybody else they really didn't leave it a lot of time and there have been allegations that they have deleted some post from The Insider Hub or people that said this is the problem. [28:04] Right. Not Microsoft has no no no no variety variety disappeared, were they perhaps running the Hub on 1809 at desktop redirected, under what they go yes that must be what have, they're probably running in on a nice day, but, but the, it is it's very important to make himself feel good because you were there to help make things better have some people been reporting this and, you have the possibility that would be nasty all i have a great way to make the sex feel better house invite everyone to be an mvp ch. [29:13] Okay look up or who remember goodly this from when you and later i cannot stand okay. I know why you wanna skip ahead of the. Welcome to spread it out okay okay okay so we can cover two things they are going to move this to the end I'm missing so it's how it's made. So remember that we had a toast i'd toast made cover of with rob my surface book at river rock you or a toast a toast toast they have a leather one now okay okay so glue on case for your Surface Book, or yours but then what about on mysickers. [30:02] Turn on all you've what's the cuz i given why would i want another one i love the magnesium acted point, and wipe out and buy a will there's an a black surface laptop Surface Book yet but they will be and then why put it yeah what people are putting things they outside right why put stickers on your computer went when ice, if you only had a block magnesium, like this one, yes. By a lot you mean once in a blue moon you see one about more so than I did before they look like primer yes they do, and. Last piece of news so we talked about ignite of previous episode that we did get out the door we talked about the Apple announcements we talked about the Microsoft Hardware announcement, oh my goodness we should have led with that, guess not nothing to say okay, okay so is that it for a news that is. [31:18] Music. [31:26] Alright so that David you said you had something you want to talk about Rants and Raves Microsoft invited me to become Windows Insider MVP, good for you congratulations thank you thank you cut i am already windows insider mvp of cases problem. It's kind of seems like they've invited thousands and thousands baby hundreds of thousands I didn't get invite you didn't get an invite so there is at least a level of expectation but it's like. Kathy put in a query that says not existing like it what sort of criteria did they put in for that so. I am running Insider build immediate they did not immediately respond to my request for information, well as other people blogged about it and think like they is people are one explain about it but it just seems to me if it be nice if they invite insiders but the should put some care into the inviting. Okay so don't want to have a cake party invite too many people then there will be no point to it. [32:30] Okay that's my rent that's your aunt yes okay once the course then you can say well what who wants to be a member of a club that, heard any rumors from Microsoft will not from Microsoft but have heard one from Samsung and what would that be well Samsung says it's working on a foldable phone that we have tablets you can put your pocket sound familiar, maybe sides was the microsoft product andromeda and well damn it is the opera incident, will fit in your pocket again folded and you got a more screen real estate imagine someone makes foldable screens. People have a matching that's for quite a while if make full checked so. [33:25] Certainly be a lot of really cool concept of that but the only thing we've seen similar to that is i think alen oval made, computer that had for the keyboard it was basically a touch screen. And that really went nowhere so it's kind of a cool concept but. What will we see what that will really work I think we're looking for a whole new Computing Paradigm right now but I'm still not excited by the new phone Hardware out there, I want to get a new phone, I think I was not one out there that turns my crank. I mean really when you're looking for a phone that something that last a fair bit of time as is Handy. And then it is important and then everything else is just kind of like me at what point did the iphone and the and the. [34:17] The Galaxy start being awesome cameras that sticks on the iPhone, E46 with you know Microsoft Microsoft but everybody has unless you buy really cheap phone you have an amazing camera now you're going away or you could take it out the camera that you could just you could just take a phone when I get to get the S alignment take a GoPro, but you could not you can easily just a lot anyways so get fantastic diving so your phone's waterproof. No it's not it's a success on 7th and I can't take it down at the end. [34:56] But anyways that's like an OtterBox for it if I want to try but at some point so I'm going away from there if we can. Last year we went away I went to Alaska and I visited with Joel Jazz who was one of the hosts of the date of the pain the pain also known as, now I'm going to Australia where his co-host the Dane whereabouts I believe is Melbourne but it's not I'm going to leave his one of those two cities so maybe, I'll try to hook up with him now that they're podcast is gone quiet for a while back for you for me alright for them it interesting that they spam the pacific australia to alaska my can't take it much further within that know know if you can do a podcast with those sort latencies hear your good health okay alright. Anything else you want to talk about what is Microsoft Microsoft what. [36:06] This is for my sweet shows o know what of microsoft we kill the password, with its pathetic a rap or anything off I have not used passwords in quite some time for all any of my personal devices, heading to my work devices I use hello, I push token. [36:28] Go i'd be happy for a password manager i use a pass for batteries last pass right by rely on that heavily. But I don't use passwords that often except some my client systems so maybe passwords are on our way out that would be nice. But useful. Okay that was pretty lame what do you think all right so everything else I don't think so. Show's over showed over. My Follow the show on Twitter at surface Smith email the show at podcast. [37:19] Check out the show notes and leave a comment on WWE. [37:26] Help others find out about the show by leaving a review on iTunes. [37:30] Music. [37:39] Is it time for whiskey yet well the best part of the show it's always time for whiskey Cortana, alright so we started a new thing for whiskey the week segment or the universal whiskey podcast for the after-party whatever you want to call it. We're what's the name of that book they would we ready it's 101 whiskeys to dry before you die. Alright no pressure here no pressure. The first Whiskey In the book is what aberfeldy 21. Yeah that's the aberfeldy mayall i was looking at it in the mirror. Of you shaving with that bitch or i'll email know this is a gift actually but that is a gift for my birthday from my friend, and i dont know who is very generous over to give me this so we should drink it to what they say about never fell the well. [38:43] So I read this read this tonight so you shouldn't have messed up those numbers. Leonardo da Vinci. Brought the arabic number see your because the roman numerals work way too complicated they were and so with the simple system if you weren't able to figure. The whiskey were not tasting is is. It's by aberfeldy obviously the same one built by bloodpop however I'm color golden Amber what's your check, nose cream honey nose dried fruit will tell us about The Distillery tell us what they say. It's disturbing re hat ever feel like two hours model was built in, 96 to 98 by the Restless. Rest innovative and order from there all to do or brothers homos know that obama at all. I have lost my sense of smell. [39:58] I would say it's um for the sweet terminally. [40:10] Okay honey dark honey. Sweet caramel vanilla will the apple don't fall no no smoke no salt and small. [40:22] No iodine oh oh here we go igot to mention of it here. It may be easier to find the twelve year old version that's good. [40:34] This is a lot better and well worth the additional money exchange these really rounds out and deepens this with you that might be why i'm a little bit better. Different and round and round it up that you are calling cuz I've been age just a little bit longer to just a little bit longer okay so let's see if my little trick of any other water LOL. [41:03] Does make it sweeter a little bit more complex doesn't help with the nose now. [41:12] Son's hockey coach aston color day does your nose run your feet smell and your probably built upside down. [41:23] Nice I like this I like this but I wouldn't throw it out, it's decent I prefer something just a little more complex because we've been trying different things like bourbons and rice and stuff like that which do have a much stronger taste than this that we have. Filter pellets for a good solid. Oscar is with like a glenn live it plan that kind of style and standard highland okay. Find some plans to probably takes very similar for this and get well be happy with that jerk. But because of the single malt and expecting a little more character than this. [42:14] Santa hats not terrible so David. Describe to me what your favorite artist taste like something burnt. I just tasted a bit of burnt almonds with that know we were getting on and then that's why I said the word on this but a little burnt flavor that it was weird just so why don't you describe to me. What you're you're perfect with you taste, well I first of all you would get to the duty free store, have a dollar store dollar store in the gallon size and it would be $3 Canadian. When we when get gallons leaders okay we're size are. I definitely like a little bit sweeter than that so I I I think it's because of some of the Bourbons with your born baby. [43:07] Bizarro Bizarro you should put that in your business cards made with less subtle. I want a bit more Aroma I like the vanilla as I like the toffee I feel like a coffee or even or Burke caramel 15 to go shopping this. Needs to be a little rougher almost. Which is half the year here so so you don't like go to McAllen I left Macallan Sienna only as my year round, and I. [44:03] Like the dollar for dog can totally buy go to for that and then for winter whiskey and like a good let alone. [44:12] Which is a little bit smoke your little bit Peter a little bit salty air but not immensely so. Right now the mrs or to much i put them my covering that in the so once in a while thing, with a good cigar sure sure with you about actually today about whiskey that's what it's date one of these and now i'm up is dave smith on my caller id and he also it with my phone so. [44:43] I'm up on my phone and its. [44:50] 314 number is David Smith, thank with about whiskey yeah yeah v you have a clear think that we should call of dow acts without that was about a week tasting i bought at a at a charity auction last year nigga nine organize do of the cottages whiskey weekend at that the scheduling gods are just going to text you on that one they are they are if you give up the weekend idea and make it into the wednesday. Could be at a restaurant or something or. Someone's house just because people can stay over we can play cards late if someone's house is tough to have to fix guys stay over yes that's true. Wait until and if we have to have read it read the hotel people are going one in. [45:53] That's just double surprise, right right that's what that's easy to do at someone's house but not easy to do at a hotel at a hotel. [46:10] But i don't think that fixes the scheduling problems doing well not it does not to such push it off into the future was kaisha my xl make it and ice fishing weekend. S are skiing weekend we're screen lights up but then he won't come that far have you know aunts was a do. Besides drink whiskey like sorry that was white why would you need to do anything besides whiskey right exactly so. What are the state of its he fights with the foil wrapper worth over or or or or really, three yeah he is November 10th that you can party that weekend please can we just whatever you was getting at your party. Okay we got that that's possible the whiskey in sushi. [47:06] Okay could do that yeah yeah okay, possibility for sure when we do it before. Got to get some details on how long his tasting thing goes and whether you like sushi couple hours. We could do it in the afternoon and then make sushi with sharp knives okay but zombie bugs coming out of people's mouths. Yeah that's possible. [47:36] Will have to Institute a uber policy. Thought I'd like to do this up if if we're not in the cottage then November 10th is not a big deal we could do it at the sushi making party. [47:52] Yes but if we're doing it at your place and do it anytime. Write the bus to see me your entry in quick right but will you do to my house right, but again the whole thing is in people have to go home. We just instituted Uber coffee that's it I have to take a note. Or not drink and drive. That is true is not a whisky we can it is a whiskey tasting and they. Make eating and if yes how is playing sure so that none of the normal for all of the that goes along with the whiskey weekend is involved. No backwash well let's not talk about that. We're consumption of many things so that the party when of the situation parties at my old house years ago i had gone to an auction like this and i had bought a cake balls i know i was there, so this is a similar thing I paid for the cake bow so you would, I'd likely pay for the $750, but what do the merriest well i could do a personal tasty. All good i'll get a sale out yourself the fuck are you. [49:20] Alright alright so we need to solve this stuff but let's work on it after we go for a bike ride so anything else to talk about we're going to try again next week.

The CBT Team dedicates this show to our listeners because we know that you are responsible for our success. Keep sending us your emails and messages from social media and we will read or play your feedback on our show. You can contact us via email to cbt@coolblindtech.com or call our new toll free number at 1-855-330-2665 anytime night or day. 1. From Dalton Lane: What do you think about the new braille note touch? I have played around with it some but I'm still currently using an apex. My cool pick would probably have to be the braille note touch though. I enjoy exploring the different types of accessible peaces of technology. 2. From Richard Merryfield I'm working on a blind accessible game that is intended to both be fully playable for the blind, as well as offer a sighted player a unique mechanic. The goal is to try to give nearly an equivalent experience for both types of players. We want to use the game as a proof of concept to demonstrate that mainstream commercial games have the potential to have accessibility navigation implemented into their design. If this game is successful, our next step will be to create a generalized API that can be used in a wide variety of VR settings, ranging from video games to potentially even drafting software. You can download our game here. Make sure to enable accessibility mode by going into the config.ini file and changing access=0 to access=1. We are still building out a configuration application for the game. Sorry for the inconvenience. However, once you have accessible mode running you can experience it for yourself. Website 3. From Rebecca Skipper: Hi, What Android device would you recommend for someone who already uses an iPhone and just wants a tablet with a keyboard to learn how to use Android? I have an amazon Kindle Fire HD 6th Generation Tablet, but this is not the traditional Android setup. Should I invest in a Chrome Book or are there other affordable options? Thanks. 4. From Lisa McLaughlin Hi there, I was wondering if you guys could help assist me with my new android phone. It's running android marshmallow. I'm using talk back plus I've downloaded the eloquence text to speech. I would be grateful if you can give me some advice and support regarding navigating around the touchscreen. I have been an Apple iPhone user for many years and I now fancy a change. I did listen to the talk back Tutorialggo but feel to fully understand how to navigate around the touchscreen using the talk back gestures. I would appreciate any help that you can offer, many thanks, Lisa Mclaughlin 5. From Jimmy Musk I am looking to publish my article on your blog. Is there any opportunity. Please let me know the procedure? 6. From Rusty Hilliard: Love the site, and enjoy the podcasts. I am a full-time preacher, and thus in preparing sermons, use a lot of tech. Thanks for the info. Have you guys done a podcast on building websites using Wordpress? Could you guys do a podcast on good Windows based Twitter clients?

Kindle Fire FreeTime Parental Controls How Kindle Fire FreeTime works FreeTime is an App that some preloaded on new Kindle Fire and Kindle Fire HD readers from Amazon. What Kindle FreeTime does well - Control amount of time kids spend on the three categories available (Apps, Video, Books) - Restrict access to parent Kindle system apps, videos, Internet, Music*, Books - Tracks book reading progress separately between parent and each of the kid profiles in Kindle FreeTime. My wife and my son are both reading The Roman, The Twelve, and The King by Jenny L. Cote. My son generally stays ahead of my wife so his place is saved in his FreeTime profile and does not affect the last read place saved by my wife in the main Kindle OS. Kindle FreeTime failures with some workarounds - Music is not accessible from within Kindle FreeTime with apps and services built in by default Workaround: Install a music playing app. Then add the Music player app to your child’s Kindle FreeTime Apps. WARNING: The music app will burn up app time. There is no way to limit screen time per App so all apps count towards daily limit. - Kindle opens into the last profile used in FreeTime or the main full featured profile if FreeTime was not active during last shutdown. Workaround: -  Kindle Fire has the ability to load a screen lock pin. We share this with our oldest son who is the primary user. We (my wife and I) are diligent to log into FreeTime and enter into Riley’s profile so that the Kindle will open back into his profile when the screen lock pin is entered. He gets to protect access to his apps and books from his younger brothers and we know he is only accessing his content because the Parental Controls password must be entered to get to the root OS of the Kindle Fire. Kindle FreeTime Feature Requests Wish List - Five minute warning before time allocation is up - FreeTime profiles tied to screen lock PINs - Add a music category that works like video category where parents can choose which songs kids can listen to. Then FreeTime App time is not eaten up by listening to music with 3rd party app. PARENTING News The Ozz family is growing.

7″ tablets have stormed the market. There’s the iPad Mini, the Kindle Fire HD, the Nexus 7 and more. But which one should you get? Listen as Mr. Noobie, owner of noobie.com, and Roy Choi, managing editor of TechnoBuffalo, discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the most popular 7″ tablets to help you decide which one is right … Read more about this episode...

Which tablet should you go out and buy right now? There are three great pint-sized tablets available - but which one is our favourite? We argue about the comparative merits of the Apple iPad Mini, the Nexus 7 and the Kindle Fire HD. We also test out how well 4G - and Alan - cope under g-force. We meandered the streets of London testing EE's new superfast broadband network before heading to the suburbs for one final test. How well did it fare under the whirly madness of a suburban fairground ride? Finally we wanted to get Alan really angry, so we got him to think about technology he really hates. We each pick out one piece of technology that really annoys us and explain why. All this - and a discussion about the tightness of Tim's trousers - in the second episode of Activ8.

The Nexus 4 launches, and a man in Pennsylvania does his best to keep Google's latest and greatest -and slipperiest- from sliding off tabletops. The Lumia 920 lands, and a man in Boston moves back into an old apartment called Windows Phone - but the place isn't the same as he left it. The Droid DNA launches, and all America is atwitter with talk of 1080p, nonremovable storage, and HTC making Sense out of Jelly Bean. And over in Romania, one man watches, waits, and wonders what all the fuss is about. That's about the shape of this week's installment of the Pocketnow Weekly podcast, on the eve of the American Thanksgiving holiday, and a mere two days away from the biggest retail shopping day of the year.

TechFan returns from the pressures of business. Tim is still absent - perhaps he's lost due to the maps in IOS6? To get the low down on the latest Apple media storm, David recruits Darren Griffin of PocketGPSWorld.com and they discuss the state of smartphone mapping.

For the first time in months, the entire gang gets together to form the Android Podcast Voltron.  Topics this week include LG's Optimus G and the problem(s) it might face in the United States, HTC's lack of an Android announcement, and the reason we don't yet have a Droid Incredible X.   Additional subjects on the agenda include the impact that Windows Phone 8 will have on Android and whether HTC needs Microsoft more than the other way around.  We also talk about the Kindle Fire HD, how it fits in the 2012 tablet game, and whether we'd tell mom to buy one.   Of course, we also dig in a bit on the iPhone 5 and how it matters to Android in the short and long terms.

This is a podcast review of the Amazon Kindle HD 7 inch model which goes for $199 at Amazon.com. This is the base model HD edition with 16 GB memory and Wi-Fi. The old Kindle’s screen broke, and this was what seemed like the next best thing to buy as a replacement. This was a replacement for a Kindle that with a broken screen. The Kindle Fire HD promised a lot of extra functionality in addition to being able to use the old Kindle functionality. Let me start by saying, that overall we are very pleased with the device, especially for the price. And for anybody looking for a device in the 7 inch tablet size then this would be a good choice for most people. Read more and listen to the podcast...

Onderwerpen Floris is het voorbije weekend naar IBC geweest in Amsterdam en heeft daar best wel leuke dingen gezien. Nokia lanceert de Lumia 920 met Windows Phone 8. Amazon toonde vorige week nieuwe Kindles waaronder de Kindle Fire HD en de Kindle Paperwhite. En misschien wel het leukste nieuws: Whispersync tussen Kindle-boeken en Audible-boeken. We doen snel een paar voorspellingen rond de Apple-aankondiging van 12 september. Hootsuite koopt Seesmic. En wordt dit het begin van de Instapaper Copyright Wars?

Bust out your robes and light your pipes; the boys take a look at Rankin/Bass' 1977 animated adaptation of The Hobbit. Which also happens to be trippy as balls. They delight in the film's weird charm and marvel at the fact that John freaking Huston voices Gandalf, among other hippie-esque things in a very hippie-esque film. Plus, Paul catches up on some comics, AJ is conflicted over the forthcoming Kindle Fire HD, and someone apparently remembered that we have a Formspring. Next: an enlightening discussion of film criticism, I'm sure.

Tim and David discuss the Nokia PR disaster from this week, the new Kindle's from Amazon, SamSung, Activision Anthology, Grant Theft Auto San Andreas, Elite, StarCraft 2, and much more.
