I want to take a moment to share something that could truly make a difference in an emergency—setting up your Medical ID on your iPhone or Apple Watch. As someone married to a type 1 diabetic, I know how crucial it is for first responders to have quick access to vital medical information. That's why I'm walking you through the easy steps to set up your Medical ID, so things like allergies, medications, and emergency contacts are readily available when it matters most. This isn't just a tech tip—it's a potentially life-saving tool that more people should be using. Take a few minutes today to set yours up, and share this with someone who might need it.How to Set Up Medical ID on Your iPhone and Apple WatchSetting up your Medical ID on your iPhone or Apple Watch ensures that first responders can access important health information, such as allergies, medications, and emergency contacts, even if your device is locked.To set up Medical ID on your iPhone, open the Health app and tap the Summary tab. In the top right corner, tap your profile picture or initials, then select Medical ID. Tap Edit and fill in your medical conditions, allergies, medications, blood type, and organ donor status. Add emergency contacts by selecting them from your contact list.To make sure this information is available in an emergency, turn on Show When Locked. This allows first responders to access your Medical ID from the lock screen. Also, turn on Share During Emergency Call to automatically share your Medical ID with emergency responders when you call 911. Tap Done to save your information.Your Apple Watch syncs Medical ID information from your iPhone. To view Medical ID on your Apple Watch, press and hold the side button until the emergency sliders appear, then slide the Medical ID slider to the right.If you need to access someone else's Medical ID in an emergency, press and hold the side button and a volume button on their iPhone until the emergency sliders appear, then slide the Medical ID slider to the right. On an Apple Watch, press and hold the side button and slide Medical ID to the right.Setting up Medical ID is quick and easy but could make a huge difference in a medical emergency. Take a few minutes to set yours up today.Check out the new course on Self Funding Your Own Conference Attendance:https://healthcareeducationtransformationpodcast.com/conferenceIf you are taking the NPTE or are teaching those about to take the NPTE, visit the NPTE Final Frontier at www.NPTEFF.com and use code "HET" for 10% off all purchases at the website...and BREAKING NEWS!!!!

If true, that will limit data transfers to a relatively poky 480 Mbit/s. Leander: Meet an Unsung Apple Hero in this free e-book Interface designer Bas Ording is one of those little-known Apple employees who has had a huge influence on our digital lives. Lewis: Clean your filthy Apple Watch bands, people Your Apple Watch band could be a breeding ground for potentially dangerous pathogens, according to a new study.

Now with iOS 15 you can have the default weather app provide notifications when precipitation starts or stops. First you'll need to make sure you allow the Weather app has access to your current location in the Settings and Privacy section. Then open the Weather app (I have my as a widget on the front of my iPhone screen) and tap the “bullet list” in the upper right. Then tap “Notifications” and toggle on notifications for the locations you have in the list. Jeff's iTip: If you use the excellent CARROT Weather app, you can choose the weather data source from within the app's settings.

In this episode, I give a little motivational speech, share some technology and health news as well as some simple tips for content creation. News: Someone tried to track their kid with apples new AirTags. AirTags are used to track/locate lost or stolen items such as keys, wallets, etc. This person decided to see if they can use it as a long distance locator device. Luckily, this shouldn't present any true privacy concerns because apple implemented a feature that cuts down on unwanted tracking. Call of duty 2021 is being developed by sledgehammer, Activision confirms. Look, I think im about tired of call of duty after what they pulled with Cold War. Cold War was garbage. I played it a grand total of 8 times. Not a fan. Sony is talking about integrating discord into its playstation. That would be awesome because I know ALOT of gamers who's community lives within the discord app. Apparently, there's a website that calculates how lazy, er, I mean hard you have to binge to finish a show in time. Whatever that means. I think binging content is useless and life draining but to actually calculate how hard you have to binge to finish it is even more loser-esque, but thats just me. Your Apple Watch will track your alcohol intake? Also, In addition to alcohol intake, it will be able to track blood pressure, blood glucose. Wow. You know what, this actually shouldn't surprise me because I think data is such a huge commodity. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/anthonyboyd/message

Not Tech Related, But What I Got for Fathers Day Ok this is going to sound odd, but I got a fairy village to hide in my garden made out of little concrete figures: 6 little cottages, a fairy on a leaf, 3 fairy doors to put besides the trunk of a tree, and a gargoyle to guard the village. I’ve been gradually getting these types of items from my garden over the last year or so from an artist who lives on the Central Coast here in NSW, and thought I’d would share my recent purchases. I love these cottages as each one is slightly different with the way the roof is done, placement of chimneys, doors, and windows. There is a link to Cherry’s website below, unfortunately it is mainly jpg files but her contact details are at the bottom of the page. PS so far I have a Chinese Dragon who is in one of the garden beds, a few fish around my water fountain, a few other figurines hiding in the hedge, and now this fairy village, just like having tactile things in my garden. http://www.cherryart.com.au/ I Now Have My Orbit Writer (portable and light Braille input keyboard) Oddly, my Orbit Writer turned up just after I finished the show last week. Having a week or so to play with it, here is my first demo podcast of the Orbit Writer for you to to have a listen. I really think this is a fantastic product, and hoping over the next month or so it should be being sold via Vision Store. https://s177.podbean.com/pb/570704b5cd04061c53a37ef0b799aa63/5f56be9c/data2/fs54/339150/uploads/Orbit_writer_initial_demo92776.mp3?pbss=e7b4a5a6-cd6d-501f-a8b8-f58b14232213 My Thoughts About the iPad Pro and Smart Keyboard with Trackpad For low vision folks, the trackpad is excellent. For folks who are blind, you get a really solid keyboard to type on, you can angle the iPad perfectly for video meetings, very light, and my big thing about using the iPad, you can Command+Tab between apps like you can do on a Mac or Windows PC. And here is my podcast about the iPad Pro. https://s147.podbean.com/pb/a19a815faa7a6080646d23672e85e9e9/5f56c6a7/data3/fs54/339150/uploads/iPad_Pro_11_with_VoiceOver_17u2mk.mp3?pbss=31ade534-0105-51a7-946d-e26176404a12 How Easy it is to Transfer Music from Your iOS device to the HomePod Simply hold your iOS device next to your HomePod, and the music you are listening to is transferred. https://support.apple.com/guide/homepod/play-audio-using-your-ios-or-ipados-device-apdfb81a72e4/ios?cid=tw_sc_handoff_080520 How to Adjust the Haptic Time Speed on Your Apple Watch - This can be done either In Accessibility settings on the watch itself or via the Apple Watch app. You can adjust the speed between 0 very very slow or 100 percent which is quite fast.

This week on the 20 Minute Fitness podcast we’re taking you out on the ocean, as we’ll cover tech that comes handy for surfers. Some might have a misconception of surfing and think of it as just a fun activity rather than a challenging sport. But as soon as you get out on the water you realize that this is not the case, and there’re a number of devices that can also prove this to you.Press play to hear about the gadgets that will become your best surfing buddies and to learn how they can guide you both before and after your sessions!Three Things You'll Learn1) Forecast & Rewind With These Surfing AppsIt really shouldn’t come as a surprise that there are a number of dedicated surfing apps that are available right at your fingertips. For pre-surfing help, you can, for example, download Surfline. An app that is considered as one of the world’s most trusted ones in weather forecasting.With a professional meteorologist team behind Surfline, you can get information on the conditions of hundreds of surfing spots around the world. You can access long range swell forecasts and also see what’s happening at more than 500 surf & beach camps via real-time data. This way Surfline will always ensure that you know what to expect ahead of getting out on the water.While Surfline also tracks your surfing performance, an app that specializes in this, even more, is Dawn Patrol. This app works with Apple Watch & iPhone integrations to analyze your surf and log all your sessions. Your Apple Watch & Dawn Patrol together track everything from the distance and the number of waves surfed to your HR and calories burnt.Listen on to hear more about the before and after guidance, these surfing apps can provide!2) Your Virtual Surf CoachIt’s one thing to get some feedback on your surfing performance, but taking it to the next level really comes with recommendations based on that feedback. Which is exactly what By The Wave, a company that provides virtual coaching for skate, surf, and snowboard, does. And this time around we’ll focus on their device, called Ride+ that was built for surfers.Ride+ is a tiny gadget that can be attached to your board and connected to your phone via their app. The gadgets track your rides and provide you with all the basic data measured by the previously mentioned apps as well. But what makes Ride+ unique is that the device also measures your form and can detect errors in it.When you open up the app you get a visual representation of yourself via a virtual avatar. With this virtual avatar Ride+ goes through your mistakes and shows the correct form of each movement. Tune in to hear more about how Ride+ will turn you into a pro surfer over time!3) The Surfing ExtrasBesides all the gadgets that focus on your performance and form, there are quite a few innovations that we can think of as “extras”. One of which is a really useful tool for especially those who shred the waves of more wild waters. The Sharkbanz 2 is a wrist band with a technology developed by marine biologists that “scares” sharks away. The band has a strong electromagnetic field that releases 1000x stronger sensations than anything in the shark’s normal food chain. As a result, sharks are deterred away.And if we take turns from focusing on things that benefit the individual surfer to innovations that benefit the entire planet, we can take a look at Smartfin. Smartfin is not just a technology, it’s a movement that provides its members with research-grade data collecting surfboard fins. This integrated technology then collects data that can “help fill the gap in the oceanographic data”. An innovation that can aid the research on how Earth is going to respond to global warming over time.Press play to learn more about the Smartfin’s movement and to hear about other exciting innovations in the surfing world!

Full Transcript: TVI Toolbox: Success Stories, Tools for Success - #BeMyEyes App, Meet Jeff Mihiletch (Music) Dacia: It's your job, disability or not, to know what you bring to the table, and sell that. That's your job. Narrator: Welcome to the blind abilities TVI Toolbox. I'm Jeff Thompson. Dacia: Because they don't have any experience with vision loss, so they're thinking to themselves, "I don't know if I could do that if I couldn't see right. I'm not sure that they're going to be able to do that." That's what... there inner monologue isn't about you, it's about what they think that you can't do, and their bias. Narrator: TVI toolbox is a tool for teachers, for agencies, for clients to enhance the opportunity and the understanding of transition services. Professionals talking about the services they provide. Teachers of the visually impaired talking about topics of transitioning from high school, to college, to the work place. Students talking about their journeys, there successes, and some of the barricades and brick walls that were in there way, and solutions, tips, and tricks on how they got through it. Dasha: We try to help them develop resumes right from the beginning. We would like some body that even as young as fifteen sixteen to have a resume that they can continuously add to, to build on. It really puts in front of them a more realistic view of "Ok, well I can add this to my resume. I can do this because I can add that. This is going to bring value." It kind of gives them more of an ownership of there experience. Narrator: That's (probable spelling mistake here,) Dasha van Alstine. She's an employment program specialist at state services for the blind, working with clients, counselors, and employees, to optimize the opportunities for successful employment. Dasha: I always tell people, if you go into an interview, and you're thinking that you're not the best candidate, you're probably not. Narrator: On this episode of TVI Toolbox, we'll be talking about employment. We'll be hearing more from Dasha van Alstine, and the success story today features Jeff Mihiletch, with A BS degree in Business Administration. And Jessica Hodges with On the Horizon, where she brings you recent news and events with particular interest in the transition process with a blindness perspective. And the tools for success spotlight is Be My Eyes. It's an ap that, well, kind of speaks for itself. Now, here's employment program specialist Dasha van Alstine. Dasha, welcome to blind abilities. Can you tell our listeners what your roll is at state services? Dasha: Hi Jeff. I am a program specialist for the employment team at state services for the blind. Narrator: Tell us a little more about the employment team. Dasha: The employment team works with various counselors and customers on anything from the very beginning of how to choose a job goal, all the way up to when it's time to close your case. So are you ready, do you have everything you need, do you need additional training, we're there all along the way. Whereas a counselor looks at an entire situation, we look at everything from absolute employment Narrator: Dasha, for a transition student, what would a first meeting with the employment team look like? Dasha: That can be at any type of stage, it depends on... if somebody has done a lot of research various...market information on their own, we might not meet with any of us until later. Someone who really needs some help and some direction with trying to figure out what they want to be, and what that's going to look like, and where the doors are going to open, they might meet with us right away. Narrator: So first they work with state services, then when it comes time to think about employment, that's when they get handed off to the employment team? Dasha: Well, preferably, they wouldn't just get handed off to our team. We would want to have some sort of relationship with them from the beginning. I'll give you an example. A college student, someone who knows that they're college bound know they want to go to college to get to a career, we'll look at them right before it happens and say, "Ok, what is your job goal? What do you want to do? What are the various avenues to get there." We'll work on what is the most appropriate way from point A to point B, for you, with college in the middle there. And then, in college, a lot of times there will be some check ins. We'll check on them, hey, how's it going? Have you thought about an internship yet? Are you working during school? Do you need help finding something. You know, what can we do to assist you?" We make connections for them, and sometimes we help them find part time employment, or find there internship. A lot of times, we'll work with the school to try to figure that out with them, to try to get them more independent and not depending on us. And then, when they're getting ready to graduate, sometime before the last semester, we help the figure out, you know, it's time to start looking. Because ideally, you want a job before you graduate, you want that job to be ready for you. Narrator: Dasha: With the age of transition students, I imagine that a lot of them have not had too much job experience. Does the employment team have a component for people to learn about job interviews and filling out resumes? Dasha: It's different for each person. That begins whenever appropriate. Some people, especially our young people, We try to help them develop resumes right from the beginning. We would like some body that even as young as fifteen sixteen to have a resume that they can continuously add to, to build on. It really puts in front of them a more realistic view of "Ok, well I can add this to my resume. I can do this because I can add that. This is going to bring value." It kind of gives them more of an ownership of there experience. Every aspect of every case is so different. There are some people that need us to do the resume and then walk them through what we did. There's other people that we just give some guidance to, and they do it. you know, everything is so individualized, it's wherever it's appropriate for each individual case. Narrator: That's great. Dasha, there's a saying, don't judge a book by it's cover, but in the employment situation, in job interviews, can you tell us a little bit about first impressions? Dasha: First impressions are really important, especially if you have a vision loss, because there's a really good chance that whoever you're meeting has never met someone with a vision loss before. There's no back ground there. They're going to base whatever experience they have with you, and project that onto every other person that they ever meet in the future who has a vision loss. When you meet somebody, especially if you're going in for an interview, you want to make sure that first of all, you're nice to the receptionist, because if you're not nice to the receptionist, the person interviewing you is going to find out, and you're not going to get that job. Just saying, the receptionist, that's the barrier there. Be nice to them. And second of all, once you do meet somebody, and if you have to follow them, make sure that you're comfortable, and don't be afraid to ask for information. Left or right? Where's the room? Don't be afraid to ask those kinds of directions.. With first impressions, you want to make sure that you are well put together. You want to make sure that you don't go into a business with saggy clothes, or with dirty clothes. You want to make sure that your hair is, you know, presentable, that you're not wearing baseball caps. You also want to make sure that you can speak clearly, concisely, have some confidence, that's going to be really important to an employer. Even if you're just walking in to pick up an application. Just go to the receptionist, be nice, "Hi, you know, my name is so and so. I was wondering if you're hiring. Can I get an application? Even something as simple as that. That goes a a long way. You also want to make sure that when you do talk to somebody, especially if it's an interview, you're going to get that, "Tell me about yourself." You could even get that when you meet an employer at a job fair, or an internship fair. Tell me about yourself. You want to make sure, especially if you have more of an obvious disability, you want to make sure that you kind of address that in a way that makes it so they're not thinking about that, they're thinking about your skills. A lot of people make the mistake of never saying anything, and then an employer, the whole time that they're talking is thinking well... Because they don't have any experience with vision loss, so they're thinking to themselves, "I don't know if I could do that if I couldn't see right. I'm not sure that they're going to be able to do that." That's what... there inner monologue isn't about you, it's about what they think that you can't do, and their bias. So it's up to you to make sure that you sell yourself. Sell your skills. Tell how you do things. Go into it with confidence. Know what your skills are ahead of time. Know what you have to offer the employer, and just go into it that way. And this is not just with employers. This is also useful with your professors. Narrator: Dasha, I was just doing an interview with a business owner, Susan Robinson. She said that she'd never hired a person because they had sight. She always hired a person because she felt they could best do the job that she needed to get done Dasha: Yes, it's all about the what can you do for me. Employers hire because they have a job that they have to get done. They don't hire because they want to feel good. They don't hire because they want to spend a bunch of money. They do it because they have a job, and they have to get it done. So your job is to make sure that they know you can do that job, and not only that, but you can bring stuff to the table so you're the person can help them get that done. You're the best candidate, and this is why I always tell people, if you go into an interview, and you're thinking that you're not the best candidate, you're probably not. If you're going into an interview, and you can't even think of what you bring to offer to the table, the employer's not going to know. It's your job, disability or not, to know what you bring to the table, and sell that. That's your job. Narrator: Selling it!" Dasha: "Selling it." Narrator: "That's what it comes down to, selling yourself, letting the employer know that you have a set of abilities that will help their company succeed. Well, there's that sound, so let's turn it over to Jessica Hodges with On the Horizon. Jessica: "Good day to you all. There are many, many lovely events coming up on the horizon.

All right, so after the experience is over, this is what we get. VoiceOver: Review your experience, heading.. Thanks for your call. Please let us know if you had any problems during this call, be it either technical or personal. I experienced problems, button. I had a good call, button. Narrator: And that's it. that's all there is to this free app. it's be my eyes in app store, and be my eyes on android in the google play store. And in this success story, we bring you Jeff Mihiletch, who has utilized the services of state services for the blind for many years, from elementary school, high school, college, and the work place. Jeff has found success, and is currently employed, and invited us down to his south Minneapolis office to chat with us. So please welcome Jeff Mihiletch. We hope you in joy. Narrator: Welcome to blind abilities, I'm Jeff Thompson, and I'm downtown south Minneapolis with Jeff Mihiletch, and he is employed and has used state services for the blind before. How are you doing Jeff? Jeff: Good morning, I'm doing good. Narrator: Can you tell us a little bit about your job and what you do? Narrator: I am Jeff Mihiletch. I work in the snap employment and training program, and that is about people that receive food support, snap benefits that they used to call food stamps. If you are an able bodied adult without dependants, it's mandatory now that you be job searching, and my team does the job searching orientation classes and case management for clients that are in that sector of the snap program. I was originally hired for data management, so my job is to look at the referrals every day of new clients coming in, all the different elements, who they are, nationality, when there orientation class is, location and time, and I put it all in a spreadsheet. Then I take that spread sheet, move it into a different spread sheet so it's statistically meant for the entire year, and that's my daily task that I do. I also have broadened my job duties a little bit. My team does orientation class three times a week for new people that are coming onto the snap EMt program. I help out here at the sabathanie center with the Tuesday morning orientation class. So it's a chance for me to get up in front of a group and talk, and move around, helps give my coworkers a little break, because they need to do that orientation class three times a week, and as you can imagine it gets a little repetitive, so they were totally thrilled when I decided to volunteer myself to help out with that orientation class. Narrator: So Jeff, on a daily basis, what kind of accessible devices or tools do you utilize for your job? Jeff: I use Jaws extensively. I have a little bit of vision, so I do use zoomtext sometimes, but only for spot reading, if I can't find a formula or something in my excel sheet with jaws. Primarily though, it is Jaws, almost probably ninety five, ninety eight percent of the time. Narrator: What about in your personal life. Do you use a smart phone with access to it? Jeff: Yeah, in my personal life I have an iPhone seven. I use VoiceOver, a couple different voices, one for Siri, one for the VoiceOver functionality of it. My work, I have a phone for my work, because the phone that is in everyone's laptops, the soft phone from Sisco, is not screen reader accessible, and so that's a reasonable accommodation, my employer provides me an iPhone for my work. So I feel kind of a little geekish, because I walk around with two phones when I'm at work, my personal phone and my work phone. Narrator: that's status isn't it? Jeff: I'm glad that they were able to make that accommodation and provide an iPhone for my work phone calling. Narrator: Now Jeff, when you applied here, how did you get the job? how did accommodations work for you and what was that process like? Jeff: The way I found the job was I had a friend of mien who was blind who works for the county, has been with the county for almost thirty years, and he got a phone call from someone, my boss, who was looking to fill a position, a newly created position. My job did not exist before. And she specifically was looking for someone that had a visual disability. And so she reached out to my friend who was blind and worked for the company to find out and assess any barriers that their were, to see how successful he was at doing his job, and to see how many barriers there were, and from there, he told me about the fact that she was looking for someone who was visually impaired to take this new job. I kind of jumped on that band wagon, and followed up with her, and long story short had an interview, and was hired. My job is not a permanent job. It's a two year contract. I'm a limited duration person, and the snap program, the food stamp program is federal funded. So the county writes my check, but salary comes from the feds, from the agricultural program. Narrator: So Jeff, in your career, education, did you utilize state services for the blind? Jeff: Yeah, I did. All through my education. Elementary school I had a rehab counselor that used state services for the blind all the way through that, through college went to (spelling) babija university, BS in business administration, and minor in psychology and chemical dependency. And state services for the blind helped me out with tuition and books, and that type of thing. Narrator: Great. What is transportation like for you, working in south Minneapolis here? Jeff: In he morning to go into work, I take metro mobility, because it's a relatively direct shot, although sometimes I can get to work in ten minutes, and sometimes two hours, so that's the downside of metro mobility. Going home at night, I do take a city bus. I have to go downtown, and transfer to an express. That's how I do transportation. Not looking forward to winter time, I will say. Narrator: Great. So Jeff, Being someone that has used state services, who has transferred from high school to college to the work place, what suggestions would you have for someone who is in those shoes today looking towards there future? Jeff: I would say if you are a braille user, or have the potential to be a braille user, but also use screen readers, I would really highly recommend still doing the braille thing. Narrator: You said you use Jaws and PC. Now, in the workplace, there's always the debate, you know, should people have a PC or a Mack, and I found out myself that most businesses are Microsoft based, so what would you suggest for someone who's learning technology? Jeff: The county uses PCs, HP brand. Actually, we just rolled out new laptops and we moved to Microsoft 2010 and office 2016. I mean it all depends on the work environment, but you are correct most of the time that it's PC based. Narrator: Jeff, do you want to talk about some of your past jobs? Jeff: Sure. A lot of my job history is kind of broken into clumps. The first is social service, working with developmentally delayed adults, and the second chunk of job history is kind of more customer service type. So the first part, the social service, I kind of fell into that. I moved to Minneapolis after finishing my degree at Bemidji state university, and was really-really desperate for a job, couldn't find one, and it was to the point that I couldn't afford my apartment. I took a job as a live in in a group home for developmentally delayed adults. A good chunk is a little more customer service related, I worked in a large call center for computer hardware dispatch, so I was doing in bound calls with customers and technicians out in the field. Some other jobs I had over the years. I had a really really short gig. I was a very small commodities broker. I found the job through one of the venders that state services for the blind hires. They were looking for someone to do phone work and I was hired and given the job. But the screen reader didn't work at all with their customer management web page that they had. We tried to make it work. After six weeks they let me go, just because it wasn't working out. I also worked for a guy who ran one of the vending stands in saintpaul, and I would fill in for him in the concessions stand while he was out in the field filling vending machines. Did that for a while, and some other kind of odd jobs. I actually at one time was self employed. I went to massage school, became a massage therapist, and tried to do that to make a living. It's a really hard field. It's very seasonal. So that's a little overview of some of my job history. Narrator: Sounds like you're a real go getter. people feel insecure about going into job interviews and that process. And it can be daunting to someone that hasn't done it before. What's your experience like when you go into a job interview? Jeff: The interview process itself, I mean, I'm a partial vision, and it's always difficult to know whether to disclose that up front or not. And though there were times in my life when I would disclose that on the phone up front, and then there were other times when I did not. And it's hard to know if disclosing it up front would automatically disqualify me even before I walked in, or if walking in with a white cane and bumping against a desk or a coffee table or something would have disqualified me. It's always a big debate when you're a partial whether or not to disclose it. that was the one nice thing about my current job. My boss is aware of my current disability and I did not have to deal with that disclosure type thing. I had to deal with coworkers a little bit, and that was a challenge. Again, because I'm partial, I can see to navigate a little bit, but you know, I can't figure out who people are until they say something. When you're a partial, it's harder for other people to grasp of what you can and can't see. Narrator: Jeff, did you ever go through a training center? Jeff: I did. When I was in seventh grade I did a summer school thing at fairbolt. As an adult I did a couple different stints at VLR, adjustment to blindness training program. The focus for both of those times when I went was Jaws and screen readers. But I also did cooking class, the independent skills, worked in the wood shop, which was a really eye opening experience so to speak. I'd never used a table saw. I'd never used a router, that kind of thing. And it was so cool to actually create something myself out of a chunk of wood and have the skill set to do that. Yeah, I've been to VLR a couple times, they do really good stuff. I highly recommend them. And they were the ones the second time through. They were the ones that got me to Jaws. Because before, I would really try to use zoomtext as much as I could, and it was causing headaches and back strain, because I was leaning forward too much. So the second time I went through, I said, "I really want to get to the point where I can faze out magnification and just do jaws mostly. And so they got me to the point where I could use it exclusively and functionally. Yeah, the adjustment to blindness centers were very helpful. Narrator: That's vision loss resources on Franklin and Lyndale down in Minneapolis. Well, I want to thank you for coming on to blind abilities and sharing your story, your journey, thank you very much. Jeff: You are welcome. Hopefully my perspective is useful and helpful for you young people out there, you know, in the path of education and early job searching. Good luck to you, and I wish I would have had this technology when I was going to college. It would have made my college experience much easier, much less stressful, maybe a few less gray hairs. Narrator: I don't think we can get around the hairs, we can blame it on whatever we want but... well thank you very much Jeff. Jeff: Thank you very much Narrator: It was a real pleasure talking to Jeff Mihiletch and learning about his transitional journey from high school to college to the workplace, and his experiences job to job.
