Remembering the birthday of Louis Braille, a reminder that the 3D printed buildings related to his life, his childhood home, the school where he studied and the Pantheon where he is resting is freely available, just contact me and I'll send you the file […]

Happy World Braille Day. It is a day that fills me with gratitude every year. Braille has given me true literacy, the ability to write something down, and read back what I have written.
Despite numerous predictions by a few professionals in the education field of its imminent demise as […]

Absolute Brava epicness again today. I had a New York strip cooked to a quality and tenderness that I've only had previously at a good steakhouse.

Since I’ve documented our Brava adventures here, which have included some of the most delicious home-cooked food I’ve tasted, here is an update.
We have had one experience that went a bit wrong, and one that was disastrous. I want to stress that Brava has been exemplary in helping us and we’re […]

Happy 75th birthday to The Archers, the longest running radio drama in the world. Its famous theme tune is one of my earliest memories. When I was very young, it used to come on the radio every week day afternoon, and Mum would listen to it.
Then I got hooked, and started listening to the […]

This is Benny Andersson from ABBA, playing ABBA’s song Happy New Year on the piano. It’s beautiful! https://youtu.be/X_lj1zIvsnY?si=hvCunMvojs1_aKGe

Wishing everyone who reads this a happy new year. I hope it brings you love, safety, kindness, fulfillment and that we all remember to send all those things to others. May the world be a better place, even in some small way, because of the actions we take this year.

Well mates, a full 18 hours after we used to do this thang, we’re doing that thang. We’re exploding into 2026, starting at the top of the hour. We have our little broadcast facility set up on the roof for midnight, so we can go out there, freeze ourselves, and let you hear the fireworks. It’ll […]

We are procuring supplies for this evening's new year broadcast. Here's what our doorbell spoke after the Uber Eats guy pressed the button. I see an urban night scene with a person, possibly male, wearing a warm jacket and a beanie. This person appears middle-aged and is holding two pizza boxes […]

My heart rate has declined to the point where I can type this. That was one hell of an episode, and I’ve been listening for over 50 years. So, who done it then? #thearchers

Bonnie and I are very touched that so many Mushroom Fm listeners have asked us to bring our live new year show back.
For those who aren’t familiar, here is the story so far.
For many, many, many consecutive years, and in other years before that, which all amounts to a voluminous quantity of […]

I've been quite amazed by how many people have mentioned that they enjoyed my home automation posts here when we were getting our house renovated before moving in. For the most part, it's worked as I had hoped. There are one or two accessibility issues with the control system on the web and iOS […]

Wow, that year went fast. Bonnie and I have been here permanently for a year.
Still as thrilled as ever to be a part of the National Federation of the Blind’s transformative work alongside such brilliant, dedicated people. And very grateful for Bonnie’s grace and support.
Lovely to end this year […]

Bonnie and I are enjoying the Audible Harry Potter dramatizations. My only disappointment, and it is a big one, is that Sonos still isn't playing Audible content in Atmos. I hope that gets addressed at some point.

Hope everyone is simply having or has had a wonderful Christmas time.
Bonnie and I will be live on #MushroomFM at the top of the hour, from 4 to 7 PM Eastern time, from our shiny new studio in Baltimore. Dude who’d have thought!
We’ll have some classic songs and stories, and you’re welcome to […]

@Melissa Bonnie just produced a voluminous quantity of shrimp for lunch! Delectable! And makes me want to watch Forest Gump again.

@Melissa loving this music! Listening while I set up one of Bonnie's Christmas presents. SHHHH

I'm posting this now because it's already Christmas day in New Zealand, and it's Christmas eve here in Baltimore.
If you're celebrating in any way at this time of year, I wish you a happy and joyous time.
This is my first US Christmas, which is wonderful and exciting. It certainly brings all […]

Bonnie’s major Christmas present should be arriving this morning. My mission? Intercept it, lock myself in my office, set it up, hide it. Cue the Dragnet music.

Interesting. Not much different from New Zealand then. Here's what stores are open, and which ones are closed, on Christmas | WBAL Baltimore News https://www.wbal.com/heres-what-stores-are-open-and-which-ones-are-closed-on-christmas-2

There ya go. Fairytale of New York is number 1 on the AirPlay 40 CHristmas countdown too. I’ll bet we didn’t have the same number one the years the Google Driving Car song topped our chart. Shame that.

First day of vacation, so getting into the spirit by ordering breakfast in. And mate! The IHOP menu really is a voluminous document of wonder and possibility.

I’ve been using a Monarch for a year now, and it’s been the busiest year of my working life. But right now, I’m on vacation.
I expected to, and very much do, enjoy the benefits of multiline Braille for various work things, and I congratulate Vispero for doing a super job with Monarch support in […]

Last night in the Brava, we cooked rib-eye steak, and this thing cooks steak with a quality you’d normally have to go to a good steakhouse to get. It cooks using light, so the heat is very targeted, very intense, and can be unique for each of its three zones so you can cook multiple things at […]

I’ve been evaluating a Brava Smart oven for some time. The results of that are in the NFB’s Access On podcast in the coming week. But I liked it so much, I got one as a joint Christmas present for Bonnie and me. We used it for the first time today. THe food this thing produces is outstanding […]
