I see they have made the Google sign in what I assume is braille not sure how a blind persons going to see it or feel it?

You have to stick lumps of plasticine on your screen first and it reads 'Happy Birthday Louis Braille'

I was guessing it was to mark some day, just the people who really appreciate braille don't get to see it.

gruffbrown

Yep, it is a bit of a paradox

Apparently, it's Louis Braille's birthday today.

I guess it goes along with the joke about the Irishman putting 'tippex' on his PC screen or the braille keys on the drive-thru ATM, or the big sign on I-81 in Virginia telling you which way to go for the School for the Blind. !

That's enough about GW, how are you? ....ba boom

I've alway's wondered how blind people cope with the money over here being as it's all the same size, thought thats why our's back home is different in size note wise.

Pigtails

You are way too perky - shouldn't you be jet-lagged?

gruffbrown

I'm past the point of no return with that one, running on adrenaline and coffee at the moment

I seem to remember some reference to this in the movie 'Daredevil' as the main character (Ben Affleck) is blind. (Or am I thinking of a different movie?) Anyway, the movie that I saw had the person folding the different bills different ways, of course someone must have told him which ones they were so he could have done that in the first place!
