In episode 302 which has already been recorded, I made reference to hopefully producing an iPhone 16 podcast on release day. Unfortunately, that won’t be happening as my order did not go smoothly this year. By the time glitches were resolved, my delivery date had slipped.
Coming up this week, an interesting moral dilemma. Those of us who’ve been around for a while will remember the old days when some text-to-speech engines would bleep out certain naughty words. Never soup though! Never soup, which is ridiculous! Most of us would agree that this sort of bleeping is unnecessary and unacceptable. Blind people’s delicate ears don’t need to be shielded from these things any more than a sighted person’s eyes do. But what about when a celebrity voice, captured by AI technology, is being asked to read some objectional material? We discuss this interesting quandary this week.
A listener has kindly sent in a recording of a walk in his neighbourhood with the Seleste Smart Glasses. If you’re interested in the kind of information this wearable gives you when you’re out in the world, this segment will be informative.
Journalling is very good for you, you know. Science has shown that it has all kinds of mental health benefits. And while a journal can take the form of a personal diary, you can also use it in business or for specific projects. This week, I’ll give you a walkthrough of the powerful, Accessible Day One journalling app. It’s available on iPhone, Mac and Android, with the ability for premium users to get data into it via email and the web.
All this, and much more, in Living Blindfully 302.
