Hot Wheels partnered with the National Federation of the Blind to produce some cars with braille on them! Super cool. There are some on Walmart and Amazon. Put this in your search browser: hot wheels braille racer twin mill. Mr. Jerry Amerson donated several to the Aloha Braille retreat last year. Dr. Karen Gearreald was thrilled to share one with a friend and wanted to know how we got the braille on them. I wish we could take the credit dear!

I posed a trivia question on my page this weekend and thought it was posted here as well. What movies do you know that contain braille in some form? We watched 3: The Age of Adeline, If I had Wings, and John Wick 4.

Oh, we also produced lots of high quality braille. So happy to get these into the hands of their readers!

Pic shows 10 boxes of braille ready for UPS.

Are you going to San Fran and the CTEBVI conference in April? For the workshop on Tables, I'll be your host, serving you the finest tables has to offer. Care for any dessert today? Yes, I like to present in skit like fashion. Wonder which exercise guru I'll impersonate for the workshop on exercises?? Perhaps I'll honor the late Richard Simons ... I'll also be assisting with Corel Draw workshops and the great Chip Mize, or Master Mize as I refer to him. Ask him about his black belt and meeting Chuck Norris next time you see him :) My cohort on the Braille Authority of North America Formats committee and the queen of braille, Cindi Laurent, will be there as well. I wonder if the great folks at ViewPlus Technologies will be there? I see Tina and Project Inspire: Increasing STEM Braille Potential are presenting! The great Kyle Dejute and did I see THE Delores Keener Billman from that big ol' wonderful Texas braille program? Wow! Special lady she is. Come one, come all and feast on the wonderful offerings!

Our conference brings blind and visually impaired students and their families together with the professionals who meet their educational and rehabilitation needs. Join us for our 2025 Unlocking Opportunities CTEBVI conference at the San Francisco Airport Marriott, April 10-13th.

Nemeth course study group? Is there anyone who is currently in the Nemeth course or who has completed it, who would like to partner up with others? Some people learn better verbally and in group settings versus on their own. Perhaps you don't need help but could be of help to another? Feel free to message me if you'd rather not post publicly.

Thoughts? BANA Formats revision, a few of my first part of section 2 suggestions:

• 2.3.3 Do we want to be more precise with blank line usage? Aloha puts emphasis on the last segment, the volume info section as that is what the reader will/may reference thus we insert blank lines from the bottom up.
• 2.3.6e Should we clarify/define what an "authorized entity" is? I am not sure the NLS course is accurate but 19.21(1)[f] says, "An authorized entity is any nonprofit organization or governmental agency having a primary mission to provide specialized services to persons with visual impairments."
• 2.3.7a Change Unified English Braille to UEB so this all fits on one line.
• 2.3.8 Combine the concept of

In 10 Volumes and 4 Supplements
Volume 1
to
Volume 1 of 10 Volumes and 4 Supplements

• 2.6.1 Should there be an order for the notes on the TN page? Order of affect/appearance?
• 2.6.1c Clarification on which codes do or do not go on the TN page.
• What is going to be on the "required" and "may" symbols list in App G?

What would you want addressed in section 2 of the Formats guidelines?? We (BANA Formats committee) are moving into section 2 and would love to hear your thoughts on those pesky preliminary pages

Does a transcriber edit text? Yes, per the NLS course section 20.8 ... BUT NOT ANY MORE!! I am proud to share that as of Dec 18th 2024, that section has been updated to say: "There are occasions in print (just as in braille) when errors do occur. Here also, the transcriber should braille what appears in print; see §1.1.4 in Braille Formats 2016."

2 HUNDO!! Mahalo to Louis Braille for ... uh .. Braille!! 200 years ago this dude creates braille. So amazing!!

On January 4, 1809, Louis Braille is born in Coupvray, France. He would go on to develop the writing system for visually impaired readers that bears his name: braille.
