Tuesday, 28-Oct-14 16:37:20 UTC from web-
@djspeedscratch I knew a blind kid at my old school but we didn't speak much.
Tuesday, 28-Oct-14 16:40:46 UTC from web-
@monstertdi we'll you just met another nearly blind person :3
Tuesday, 28-Oct-14 16:41:31 UTC from web-
@djspeedscratch Oh, man. Sorry to hear that? You seem to be taking it well, at least.
Tuesday, 28-Oct-14 16:42:23 UTC from web-
@monstertdi been blind since I was 7
Tuesday, 28-Oct-14 16:44:30 UTC from web-
@djspeedscratch That's rough.
Tuesday, 28-Oct-14 16:45:01 UTC from web-
@monstertdi that's life
Tuesday, 28-Oct-14 16:47:02 UTC from web-
@djspeedscratch Yeah it is. It's hard for me to relate but I get you.
Tuesday, 28-Oct-14 16:48:33 UTC from web-
@monstertdi want to realate or see how I see for a day? lightly spraypaint a pair of sunglasses and wear then for a day thats pretty much what i see
Tuesday, 28-Oct-14 16:58:40 UTC from web-
@djspeedscratch Man, I envy your optimism.
Tuesday, 28-Oct-14 17:01:06 UTC from web-

@djspeedscratch Can you echolocate? (I'm not being mean, apparently it's a skill people really can learn and apparently it especially approves the lives of blind people)
Tuesday, 28-Oct-14 16:42:41 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark actually yes I can navigate by sound it's one of my favorite skills :)
Tuesday, 28-Oct-14 16:44:06 UTC from web-
@djspeedscratch Awesome. I just found out that it can be taught yesterday and thought "man, why don't more people know about this?"
Tuesday, 28-Oct-14 16:45:38 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark hah cuz most people don't take the time to get to know a blind person :P
Tuesday, 28-Oct-14 16:46:49 UTC from web-
@djspeedscratch I assume you're using a screen reader to access the site? Is it working OK/
Tuesday, 28-Oct-14 16:51:06 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark ya I use JAWS
Tuesday, 28-Oct-14 16:57:56 UTC from web-
@djspeedscratch When you dream, what do you see?
Tuesday, 28-Oct-14 17:00:33 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark well once I dreamed about what I thought stars looked like
Tuesday, 28-Oct-14 17:01:13 UTC from web-
@djspeedscratch Oh? What did you imagine?
Tuesday, 28-Oct-14 17:02:55 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark well small beautiful objects in the sky just out of reach
Tuesday, 28-Oct-14 17:04:38 UTC from web-
@djspeedscratch Here, let me help a little: Up above you, arrayed against the velvet black of the night sky, a thousand tiny pinpoints of light glimmer in the darkness. Each one slightly different, some brighter, some darker, some seeming to twinkle or sparkle as you watch. All of them unique and beautiful. As you stare, you feel almost as if you could fall up into it, like a distant sparkling sea. The longer you look, the more you seem to pick out patterns in the deep distance, until the heavens themselves seem to be engaged in a vast cosmic dance. But there are no patterns, not really. It's all just crazy, beautiful, random happen-stance, a scattering of scintillating sand across the canvas of infinite space.
Tuesday, 28-Oct-14 17:17:38 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark :O Wow..... thats... just Wow!
Tuesday, 28-Oct-14 17:19:38 UTC from web-
@djspeedscratch I'm sorry for asking this, and you don't need to answer if you don't want to, but I'm curious... How does it work for you to choose images then, for example, that pony for your profile picture?
Tuesday, 28-Oct-14 17:35:18 UTC from web-
@ghoultz I use ZoomText a magnifier program for my laptop
Tuesday, 28-Oct-14 17:36:22 UTC from web-
@djspeedscratch Ahh, yes that makes sense. Awesome! I'm glad that computers are way more acessible nowadays.
Tuesday, 28-Oct-14 17:39:36 UTC from web-
@ghoultz skype is still a bit of an issue for me though when people use webcams
Tuesday, 28-Oct-14 17:40:33 UTC from web-
@djspeedscratch At least you can still hear them
Tuesday, 28-Oct-14 17:43:24 UTC from web-
@ghoultz i love music
Tuesday, 28-Oct-14 17:44:00 UTC from web-
@djspeedscratch Yeah I figured when I saw your nickname xD
Tuesday, 28-Oct-14 17:45:33 UTC from web-
@ghoultz yea music is really the only thing I have

@ceruleanspark That was beautiful.

@ceruleanspark I always liked the view over a busy city from a high, remote mountain. I'm finally able to see the stars, and the former light pollution of the city looks more like a reflection at the distance.

@djspeedscratch Are there any site accessibility issues that could be improved? Navigation, clarification of whether something is a repeat, things of that nature?
Tuesday, 28-Oct-14 18:04:04 UTC from web-
@redenchilada for this site?
Tuesday, 28-Oct-14 18:04:50 UTC from web-
@djspeedscratch Yeah, for this site. I've always been curious whether its screen reader representation could be improved.
Tuesday, 28-Oct-14 18:06:12 UTC from web-
@redenchilada I'm used to having to adapt to a site not the site adapting so i would say thats its perfect the way it is ^_^ I wouldn't change a thing :)
Tuesday, 28-Oct-14 18:08:33 UTC from web-
@djspeedscratch You seem far too nice for your own good.
Tuesday, 28-Oct-14 18:10:16 UTC from web-
@zeldatra I can't say I'm not a mugging target but Its who I am to be kind and caring I'm usually looking out for others before my own well being

@djspeedscratch Alrighty! Still, if it could be made easier in any way, don't hesitate to ask me.
Tuesday, 28-Oct-14 18:11:03 UTC from web-
@redenchilada the only thing that would really help is if the affiliates would be on the bottom so my TTS program wouldn't read them in the middle of a post but like I said I adapt well :)

@djspeedscratch I took karate classes with a blind girl for a couple of months. She was doing pretty well, too; I wonder why she quit?
-
@scriboos being blind makes it 5 times harder to cordanate
Tuesday, 28-Oct-14 17:35:32 UTC from web-
@djspeedscratch I don't doubt that. I do poorly enough without my glasses.
-
@scriboos I keep tripping over the most ridiculous things but I dust myself off and laugh about it
Tuesday, 28-Oct-14 17:39:54 UTC from web-
@djspeedscratch Good attitude to have, regardless of situation.
