I was going to volunteer but I am to vein I would at least need 15 to 20
paragraphs and maybe a picture of me on a thrown. Hmm a crown would be ok
to.
Seriously though I haven't looked do you have any up there yet because if
you do I might be able to get a couple other people to let you interview
them.

Hi Ty,
I was thinking that if people don't want to actually write their stories
that I would call them maybe on Skype, get their permission to record the
conversation, just use it to write the story, then destroy the recording.
Each story would maybe be something like five or six paragraphs. I'd ask you
just a few questions and let you talk. I think that it might influence other
people who are blind, and those who work with us, that we can really
program, and be an encouraging thing.
I want to make NDN a really good resource, and it is on its way, so you are
going to get tired of hearing me talk about it, contribute, or both. <grin>

I wouldn't mind helping out, however I can there. I just need to know what
needs to be done.

Hi People,
Here I am again nagging about Nonvisualdevelopment.org. Is anyone willing to
put their programming story on NDN? If you like, I can write it up for you
after interviewing you.
Thanks.

Hi Bill,
If you do not mind personal questions what kind of work do you do and how
did you become successful at it? I thin we can learn from others who have
been successful in a career as a blind person.

And, now and then, you can actually be quite helpful. You know, in
dealing with people with significant disabilities, you need to be
prepared for people with attitudes. What amazes me is how many fully
blind people, who get screwed in so many ways, are kind, considerate,
and basically find a way not to seem like the angry SOBs they have a
right to be.
