Braille keypads on drive-up ATMs is novel enough. |
|
|
What about a braille "Wet Paint" sign? |
|
|
How about "If you can read this, you're too close" in braille? |
|
|
And surely we can say what we like. Its not as if any blind people are reading this... |
|
|
Braille isn't just for blind people. Ideal for reading in the dark. |
|
|
bliss'n'all: But isn't this as much a blind joke against the sighted. At the very least it's a joke that only those that can read braille will get. |
|
|
I don't think this is offensive to blind people at all. either; it's just a self-referential joke translated into an unusual and very suitable medium. |

[mcscotland] "It's not as if blind people are reading this." The web is mostly text. Just think how much easier this is as a source of information to a blind reader of braille with a braille terminal than printed books and newspapers. Where would you hang out? |

That being said, I haven't met anyone who reads the halfbakery in braille, but it's very possible; the hard- and software exists, and I've met people who used it to e.g. play muds and read their e-mail. |

jutta - I can't remember which idea thread it was, but one 'baker did comment that he was blind. This was sometime in the last week. |
