Have a safe trip home everyone!

I'm visiting the #USA for the #CSUNATC25 conference. Buying coffee, I got the perfect #coin in change for a #blindness / #accessibility related conference: a 2003 Alabama quarter featuring Helen Keller.

This was the first US circulating coin to feature a representation of Braille (there was a non-circulating 1996 Paralympics coin).

A little on Helen Keller from Wikipedia: "American author, disability rights advocate, political activist and lecturer. Born in West Tuscumbia, Alabama, she lost her sight and her hearing after a bout of illness when she was 19 months old.

Keller attended Radcliffe College of Harvard University and became the first deafblind person in the United States to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree."

Exciting update for #CSUNATC25 friends staying at or visiting the Hammertime Hilton. If you've noticed that the sledge- and jackhammers in the lobby have stopped for now, that's because the hotel is checking with their legal team!! Folks who are speaking up to make sure that our shared spaces are accessible and navigable to everyone, it's working

Dear friends at #CSUNATC25 — if you or your colleagues are negatively impacted by the very loud tile work happening in the Hilton lobby, especially in terms of nonvisual navigation, communication and networking, or sensory overload, please advise the desk manager; grab sound recordings; and speak up if you think collective action is warranted. I think it would be reasonable to suspend the use of jackhammers in our shared spaces for the duration of the accessibility conference.

Join NV Access in just over an hour from now, at 1:20PM in Grand GH at the #CSUNATC25 conference in Anaheim, California, where we talk about NVDA 2025: New and Upcoming features - we have a LOT to share!

A very inspiring #CSUNATC25 keynote this morning from Senator Gabby Giffords, plus Harry Murphy, founder of the first CSUN ATC conference 40 yrs ago! Plus Neil Soiffer, creator of the very popular MathCat add-on for NVDA, received the Dr Arthur I. Karshmer award for AT Research!

When I’m in southern California for #CSUNATC25 I’m going to work through more rail lines I haven’t yet ridden. List of trains I’ve ridden: https://peter.bike/trains_ridden/
