A bit too futuristic, but it's a great concept!

Last night, while browsing threw the internet, I came acrosse this very intresting article. Apparently, microsoft is paring with I don't know how many other companies, including "UK guide dogs for the blind", to creat this really innovative peace of technology, which would allowed blind people to get an incredible amount of information about our environment, as well as many other cool things. As UK guide dogs puts it,

We believe that technology has huge potential to transform the ways in which blind and partially sighted people get out and about. That is why we've worked with Microsoft to develop a concept of how things might look soon, if we all pull together to make our vision a reality.

And here's a vidio demonstrating what this new device would do. Personally, I find its a bit too obtimistic, and even though it would be great if this thing existed, I see to main problems.
1, How much would it cost? I mean, if a screen reader costs like a thousand dollars, I don't want to imagine how much would an incredibly complicated device as this one cost.?
2 Some of the ideas are incredibly difficult to achieve, like when it tells the guy the exact location of his train compartment and seat...
I really hope this thing will eventualy exist, and I hope it will be afortable enough to buy it.

Taking french classes!

’m gonna start by saying that I’m a complete jerk.
I planned to post this yesterday, but I accidentlly saved this as draft instead of publishing it, I’m now editing this post.
So, I don’t know if I have posted about it, but I’m taking French classes.
I really like them, its so cool to learn a new language, I’ve been taking them for about a year , an I must say I’m good.
I’ve had two teachers so far, a woman an a man, the woman is really nice, she loooooves to read, so for the last months I’ve read like 4 books in French.
As for the man, he isn’t our teacher anymore, he was nice, but I think he liked me a little.
Oops, shouldn’t of said that…
Well… hope he doesn’t read here.
I think nobody does, but I don’t really care, I enjoy posting.
I’m gonna post something in French, an then translate it to English.
Salut, Je M’appelle Cecilia, j’aime la lecture, le chocolat, les chiens, voyager, ma famille, et la technology.

Hello, my name is Cecilia, I love to read, chocolate, dogs, to travel, my family an technology.
I’m blind an I would love to go to gdb for a dog.
Hope you enjoyed it.

Gdb?, Blogs?.

HI:
Today I’m gonna talk about the two first blogs I read that talked about gdb.
The first blog is:
Vida de viena
This blog was written by a puppy raiser, before reading this blog I knew nothing about gdb.
Thanks, (…) for writing this blog, sometimes, we don’t know the impact our writing will have on others.
I’m learning to use the white cane, you can’t imagine how much I wish to apply for gdb.
I’m a bit sad because this person doesn’t write anymore.

The second blog is:
in the center of the roof
This is the first blog that I read written by a handler.
The first post I read was the “wate until you get your dog” post.
A post I loooooove , I don’t rememberit’s name right now, but it’s a post about not being allone when you have a guidedog.
Thanks ro, for writing your blog.

More of my favorite sites.

Hi everyone!
Ok, this day flew by so I’m just gonna write a little post about my other favorite sites:
Lotes of free audiobooks! )

Sirina congratulations for your
Graduation day!!!!!

Oh!, an update!

Hi guys hope you are doing well.

I haven’t posted in a while cause I went on vacation an I didn’t want to take the laptop with mee.

So, for the next 6 days I’ll be posting about each day I spended on vacation.

On another subject:

Sirena if you read this I just want to wish you good luck, Cabo, Tony they are different dogs, you’ll have to learn how to love Tony.

I know Cabo will always have a special place in your heart, but You’ll have to learn how to love Tony as well.

You’ve already said this, but really try not to compare both dogs, they are different, both have their positive an negative things.

Hope you don’t hate me for riting this things, I just wana make you feall better.(an I think I’m not accomplishing it).

Pd:

Mmm… learn how to love?

Intresting ha

Things I really like!!

There are not so many things that can make me cry but really Sirina’s video didit!

Oh Sirina your life will never be the same.

Today I wana post about things I love

1-Guide dogs:

I love every thing about guide dogs.I think one of the best things about beeng blind is having a guide dog.

2-Rain:
I love, love the rain.

I don’t know why but since I was little I just lay down listening to rain an thunder.

I really like rainy nights.

3-Reading:

I wonder, is listening to audio books consider reading?

If yes that’s one of my favorite activities.

One weard thing about me is not really liking to read at day, I just love reading at night.

That’s a beat weard.

4-Blogging:.

I really like blogging, I puur many thoughts an fillings in this blog.

I like other’s reading an commenting about them.5

5-Traveling:

One of my favorite things are plains.

I love traveling by plain, that can be a little odd cause many people get board on airplains.

Ok ok I have many other favorite things, but if I post all of them you’ll foll asleep.

Another book!

This week wasn’t really intresting, that’s why I didn’t posted much.

First, congratulations Sirina! I bet you’ve already receve your guidedog!

Oh my, my,!I’m so so so so so so so happy for you!

Have so much funn!

Two day’s ago I heard this on the news:

“”

We saw a man on top of a light post (franklin square) He was singing at the top of his voice trying to attract (arg I don’t remember the t.v conpanie’s name) attention.

Policemen arrived an obligated him to descend.

“”

Oh what is it with  this man?

Hae people! seriously!

I just finished reading a book called Angels & Demons.

I really liked it:

Book’s clue words:

criminology, secret society, mystery.

Please can you comment an recommend me more books?

Guide dog potcasts.

Today I came acrosse some really fun an pretty potcasts.

Ok they are from gide dogs for the blind (gdb) the organization where I wana get a guidedog!

This potcasts are about everything from puppy raising, volunteers, training with a guidedog to alumnai testimonium.

There is one potcast (my favorite) this potcast is about a  guidedog user who goes to schools giving testimonium about blindness an guidedogs.

He talks about:

Using a white cane  really sucks! I totally agree.

How guidedogs make a huge difference in blind people.

How he became blind.

An many, many other things.

But this potcast is the funniest I’ve ever heard!

I really really recommend it to you, that, an all gdb’s other potcasts.

So if you are interested hear is the link:

I cracked up with laughter, so if you are in a laughing mooth check it out.

Enjoy an have a nice weekend!

What is it with peta?

A few days ago I came acrosse this stupid article peta posted a year ago.

This article is about blind people an guidedogs.

Really what where they thinking when they wrote that?

The article is about how gidedogs are blind people slaves, how they work 24/7, how they don’t get time to just be a dog.

I don’t know why I’m that angry with that article but really ug that sucked!

So if you are interested in this article just click hear:
