The shiny new gizmo I bought at #ACB23 has arrived! I am now the proud owner of a Stellar Trek, a cool little device that's primarily a GPS/O&M tool but can also identify colors and read text and bar codes with its built-in camera. Anybody else out there have one? Might need to pick your brains a little. Looking forward to taking the GPS for a spin on my rides to and from work tomorrow.

I’m catching up on stuff, and want to extend congratulations to @brianhartgen for winning the Robert s Bray award at #ACB23. brian’s contribution to advancing our access and knowledge has been enormous. This is such a well-deserved acknowledgement of his outstanding contribution.

I am truly honoured today to have been presented with the Robert S. Bray Award from the American Council of the Blind.
The Robert S. Bray Award is given in honor of the first director of what is now the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped. This award may be given to an individual or an organization that has made a significant contribution to improving library services, information technology or communication access. #ACB23 -

Question for anybody out there who's super familiar with #RobertsRulesOfOrder; if a motion is made to elect somebody by acclamation, and the aye votes are called, does it really need to be asked for any opposed? How can you be opposed to electing somebody by acclamation if you didn't offer up any candidates to oppose the person being voted in? #ACB23

@johnl1129 Yay! Having a blast at #ACB23 ! Glad to hear you enjoyed the audio excursion. It will be out in podcast form on Pride Connection in a couple of weeks.

Ugh. The only down side to #ACB23 live stream at the moment is general session is streaming on ACB Media 1 with audio only coming through the left channel of headphones. Not sure who can fix this, or if it's fixable at the moment, but still. Otherwise, it's a wonderful start to general sessions!!
-
Seconded, maybe if enough of us post we can encourage ACB National, or at least some affiliates, to finally enter the Fediverse. Also, Tristan's 3D audio excursion will be available as a podcast later, can't wait to give it a listen with some good headphones. #ACB23 https://dragonscave.space/@johnl1129/110640645853112420

In other exciting news, just over 3 days till I leave for Illinois and #ACB23 Excitement's somewhat tempered by the weather forecast though, looks like the Chicago area's experiencing increasingly poor air quality due to Canadian forest fires and temps in the high 80's/low 90's next week. Fortunately most convention activities are inside, but still pretty worrying. Plus there may be thunderstorms here in NY on Saturday. Praying they won't affect my flight.

Happy Sunday Mastodoners! It's hot and sticky here, so after getting a lovely pedicure I'm hanging out in the AC watching the Mets and doing some initial packing/prepping for #ACB23 I leave in 6 days and am getting ridiculously excited. Now if only this cold I've been battling all week would go away ...

I'm sad I won't be at #ACB23 in person this year, but staying up to the bitter end for the conclusion of the ACB auction feels very much like an in person thing. One year, I'll actually bid on stuff. Maybe.

For those unfamiliar, #ACB = the American Council of the Blind, an advocacy and support organization made up of #Blind people from all over the US and beyond. Here's the website for more info than would fit in one post: https://acb.org/ I've been a member since 2008 but took a break from active involvement in early 2020, from which I'm now slowly returning. Attending the national convention in Illinois in July, can't wait to see old friends and new tech. #ACB23
