Braille tattoos for the blind
Posted: Oct 22nd 2007 10:01AM by Rigel Gregg
Filed under: General Health, Health and Technology

Tattoos are an artistic expression of individuality, style, and art, and have 
(until now) only been appreciated by those with the gift of sight. But now, 
through the efforts of a student at The University of Arts Berlin, you can also 
make a statement that can be felt and appreciated by the blind.

By having a series of small beads or a small plate embossed with text (made 
of stainless steel, titanium, or plastic) implanted under the skin you can have 
an expressive work of art that can be appreciated through both sight and touch. 
It's braille for your skin!

Would you do it? I'm thinking with color maybe, but without it just looks like 
an organized group of zits.

Follow your bliss, and the universe will open doors where there were only 
windows.

I just have to say that although most know that Amy does do yoga, the 
chances of me ever standing on my head, and choking out anything, are slim 
to none!

That is in response to the beginning of Patrick's message that says:
 On 10/22/2007, 12:34:22 PM EDT, Amy stood on her head, and choked 
out:...

On 10/22/2007, 12:34:22 PM EDT, Amy stood on her head, and choked out:

it's sort of--well--shall we say--scary that my brother when he was 
little
would tell people that he learned to burp like a man from his sister and 
her

friend!  hahahahhaah


Well, not quite as scary, but my little brother learned to belch before
he could talk. So, here was this two-year-old little person going burp
all day long.
Upon learning how to talk, it was only natural for him to combine the
two skills, of course.

 impaired people would argue that a line doesn't 
exist, hence making it necessary for such things like Braille Play Boy center 
folds and things like that, but to me, it seems that it makes you stand out 
even more, and on the center fold thing, honestly guys, you can do better than 
that!

  I like the idea of the Braille Rubik's Cube. I have enough vision that if 
I hold one of the regular ones up to my eyes, I can match the colors on the 
real ones. But I have a hell of a time doing even that. But then I got wise and 
just pealed off all the stickers. Heheheh! It worked yay! All the colors were 
then the same. Sorta defeats the point though, eh? Hah.

  I also found the solar-powered retinal chip interesting but it seems kind 
of ironic though. Can you imagine the ads for this thing?

  Solar-powered retinal implants: Just add light to get your sight. Gag! 

  But Braille neck ties? Braille wine and beer bottles? Do I need to read 
my label in order to drink wine or beer? Hell no. Do I need to feel Braille on 
a man's tie? Kinda strange and, um, blindy. Init? I like the spiritual idea 
behind it in that the designer is trying to open doors to understanding of the 
colors and what they represent. 

  This is amusing. The things people think of... Whoa.

The Talk2 List Tonight on the John Zone

2007-10-23 Thread John Clower
  I'm taking the lazy way out here and just copying a majority of this from
my LiveJournal, with some added in updatifications of course.
 
  For those who don't remember there was an old children's oriented station
here in the states in the mid 1990's called Radio AAHS. It was quite
literally
the precursor to radio Disney. But unlike Disney, there was a real variety
of music and personality on the network. It was probably the most diverse
terrestrial
radio station I've ever come across. But anyhows, in their prime, they
released a ten-track compilation every month in a subscription which
included their
short-lived magazine, and I just happened to track down a few of these discs
last week. So far only one has arrived, but there are several gems on it
which
I shall play. Hopefully at least one more can flop into my mailbox today so
there can be even more randomness.  But if not, I can make do with what I
have.
 
  I owe Radio AAHS for a lot of things. They introduced me to Scatman John.
They played tracks off of the Ren and Stimpy and Animaniacs CD's I didn't
know existed back then, and, perhaps most importantly, they inspired me to
make stupid home recordings of my own ficticious radio show which led to my
interest in webcasting when I growed up.
 
Since this was a kids' oriented station, the format involved many different
contests all over the place. It was very enticing and promoted a lot of
interaction
with its listeners, myself included. I did have enough time to find one very
well-preserved isolation of a certain Clower winning a contest circa October
20, 1995.  But because it was not this Clower, it will not be played
tonight.
 
  To make up for this, there will be a lovely isolatable recording of yours
truly engaging in a mock game show with my cousin (who incidentally
performed the roles of all three contestants), as well as a few songs sung
blue at my church this past Sunday, gazing at my window.  (If anyone even
got that reference, you win a cookie!
 
  I'm sure one day I'll look back and regret playing these little clips from
my days of yor, but for now I have no
problem with archived humiliation. So tune in to
http://tbrn.net:/tbrn.ogg with your media player of choice and laugh at
my shamelessness. You can hear my bizarre ramblings every Tuesday from 6 to
9PM Eastern Daylight Time, 5 to
8PM Central daylight Time, 2 to 5PM Alaska Standard Time, 11AM to 2PM Samoa
Standard Time, and on Wednesdays from 11AM to 2PM New Zealand daylight Time
and noon to 3PM Line Island Time.
 
  Suffice it to say this show will be bloated with content this week.
