Show Notes

This is a combined travel reality and happy hour podcast. Happy hour took place this week at the Food Bar in the Dupont Circle area of Washington, DC.

We nominate Microsoft Narrator as a program or service bringing significant benefit to people who are blind due its ubiquity in that it is preinstalled on all Windows 2000, XP, and Windows 2003 server computers.

In the travel podcast segments, we cover life in the sky and on the ground for travelers in general including those who are blind.

Finally we close with details about a marathon travel week, and some upcoming podcasts and events.
