Today I was lucky enough to demo a multiline Braille display called the Cadence. Apparently they were at #ACB2025 but I missed it, probably because the Monarch took up all the air in the multiline display room. The Cadence had some interesting features dealing with graphics. It showed a fireworks display in real time tactilely, among other things. For anyone intrigued their website is www.gotouchable.com. #BlindTech #A11Y
@Bruce I need to get serious about getting familiar with my Envision glasses. My bride and I both bought pairs around the time our big move was ramping up, and that took all my emotional energy at the time. It crossed my mind to take them with me to #ACB2025 last month as I could have probably gotten some pointers there, but it didn’t happen. Glad to know there is competition in the market, though, that’s never a bad thing.
Due to popular demand, our special offers for #NFB25 and #ACB2025 have been extended through July 20! Don’t miss your chance to grab amazing deals on Orbit’s Braille and other devices. https://www.orbitresearch.com/special-offers/

Back home after #ACB2025 thanks for all the memories and fun, and for giving me my first time ever to act as a delegate for my state, very empowering and inspiring to participate in a leadership process
I am attempting to post this while eating my delicious chicken tenders, so apologies if dictation gets some of what I've said wrong, as I'm being very bad, and tooting with my mouth full, but I'll use my greasy fingers to fix my corrections if necessary when I have a moment, but man is this chicken good! Yum! Yum! Yum! However, that's not what I came in here to talk about, even though they are delicious. I wanted to let you all know, that tonight at 7:00 PM Eastern, 6:00 PM Central, and 4:00 PM Pacific, the streaming server I affectionately call, Private Server 102, will be streaming back to back to back, all, 28 recordings I made while attending the #ACB25 / #ACB2025 convention, everything, from going through airport security in Bakersfield on July 1, 2025, up through my sample of the presentation of the described movie of Wicked on July 9, 2025. It will be followed by the movie, Wicked, in full, minus the ACB convention audience noise. This presentation will take over 21 hours to stream in total, not wrapping up until sometime within the hour of 4:00 PM Eastern, 3:00 PM Central, and 1:00 PM Pacific tomorrow afternoon. I will be archiving it, should you not be able to catch the whole thing as it airs, and because I'll be relocating to a friends place and checking out of the hotel while it airs, my good friend @celrock in Pittsfield has agreed to run it on my behalf. She's been extremely helpful with some things I asked her to do while I've been busy at convention, including keeping all of the recordings safe in our Dropbox folder, and for that, I am grateful, as it's one less thing I've had to worry about, knowing my recordings will be safe while busy at convention and having fun. Just goes to show you, when she's calm, she's a decent, kind, helpful, friendly human being, to put it simply. Anyway, if you would like to listen to the recordings, please put this link into your media player of choice. http://wroe698.com:8000/radio.mp3 You can even tune in early and enjoy Christmuse in July, provided by the 24-7 automation system on Azuracast when nobody is live, between now and 11:59 PM Eastern on July 31, 2025. and yes, it is nothing but Christmas music, something I absolutely love, no matter the time of year. Anyway, hope you enjoy the recordings, and feel free to reply to this toot should you tune in, and have any feedback, comments, or questions. Anyway, I am going back to eating these delicious chicken tenders, Mmmm, Mmmm, Mmmm, so I can finish up and head back to my room, where I'll relax for the evening, and enjoy what I can of the streaming of my recordings, before I have to pack my stuff, checkout, and relocate tomorrow. Was going to pay Reunion Tower one final visit, but when I saw thunder storms were in the forecast, decided to not take the chance. Glad I got to visit there twice, both times were recorded and will be featured in this presentation amongst other stuff. You all take care, and have a good weekend.
Thanks to all who posted convention details and descriptions of their experiences from #ACB2025 I haven't been to an ACB Convention in a number of years and I really missed being in Dallas this year. Attending virtually was good, just not quite the same as being there. For those who were at the banquet, did you know ACB Media broadcast like thirty minutes of you guys eating? That was pretty funny audio to listen to. Someone said something about short ribs, sounded delicious! Anyhow, hope everyone had an awesome convention week and I hope to be in St. Louis next year. #ACB25 #ACB2025

That’s a wrap! Thank you to everyone who made the 2025 ACB Conference and Convention a tremendous success. We’re deeply grateful to our sponsors and supporters for helping make #ACB2025 possible and for their ongoing commitment to accessibility and inclusion. Thank you!

Save the date: The 2026 ACB Conference and Convention will be held July 24–31, 2026, in St. Louis. Follow us on social media for more announcements and updates!

This could be the last meal I have at coffee's post here at the Hyatt in Dallas. Unless I have breakfast down here tomorrow, because I'll probably hit up the Centennial restaurant upstairs for lunch tomorrow so I can have chicken tenders. Anyway enjoying a pepperoni pizza and some chips with soda this afternoon. #ACB25 #ACB2025
After attending #ACB2025 and #NFB2025, you'll probably come home with some new tech and need training on how to use it. Unlike many nonprofit centers that provide group training, Control Alt Access offers individualized training on all your gadget goodies. controlaltaccess.com
What a night at #ACB2025! The ACB banquet was the perfect culmination to an incredible week of fun, learning, and community. We hope all of our attendees enjoy the final day of the 2025 ACB Conference and Convention!
