I walked by the Bookshare table in the exhibit halls yesterday--you guys
were swarmed! I heard many positive things being said about Bookshare and
us volunteers, and half the vendors in the hall were using Bookshare book
compatibility as a selling point for their products.
I forgot how many dogs there can be at CSUN. Though for my book the cane
users are the biggest hazard. Tip from me to you--if your cane strikes
something doNOT whack it and keep walking. It might be someone's DOG. My
poor girl. Oi. Blind people.

We had a successful Bookshare.org user meeting last night. Marissa lead us all in a very productive meeting.
We're all having a ton of fun.
additionally, i'm happy to report that Noel and his dog Fiona won first place in our blind guy and guide dog square-dancing competition. Pratik and his imaginary guide dog, CUNY, came in a close second. i can't describe the caliber of the talent i witnessed last night. words are not enough.
those of you who couldn't join us, you missed out.
thanks,
