Blind Guys Chat
A place where the blind guys talk about the A to Z of life

#037 Ten four good buddy!

2 years ago

It’s a packed Blind Guys Chat this week as the guys are talking everything from glaciers to tech.

We begin with a sad story, spoiler alert, it’s not really too sad. Jan, has had to cancel his winter skiing trip in Germany because the Germans won’t let him into the country until he has had 3 vaccinations. But there is good news for Jan’s guide dog Geoff, as he is getting to spend time with his bitch next door while the wooden floors are installed at home.

Stuart and Óran are mystified as to why ‘LinkedIN’ is clunky and quite inaccessible to screen readers given that it is owned by Microsoft. Have you got any suggestions for the guys when using the ‘LinkedIN’ application?

Stuart regresses to his childhood when we give a demo of the ‘Walkie Talkie’ app on Apple Watch. It’s really cool. But Jan prefers his beautiful Tissot Silent watch which indicates time via vibrations. You can pick one up here if you’re loaded like Jan: weirandsons.ie/gents-tissot-silent-alarm-watch.html

Meanwhile, Óran wants to know why anyone would choose to set up a Revolut bank account. Is it just a fad? Let us know your thoughts.

Finally, Clodagh has an email from Claire Page about AD and Derry is giving us a quick demo of the Alexa app for desktop.

So, throw that Antigen test into your neighbour’s garden, turn off the spin cycle on the washing machine, pour yourself a nice fruity beer and enjoy the number one podcast as voted by garden gnomes … Blind Guys Chat!
