Raw Materials for the Mind, in Braille?

I’ve been spending all day putting together my keynote for Saturday’s AzTEA Conference. The presentation slides came together very well, and I’m finishing up the online handouts.

But I wanted to pause for a minute, because Ruth Catalano, my contact at AzTEA just wrote me an e-mail explaining that a sightless person will be attending the conference, and that she has received her Braille version of Raw Materials for the Mind [ISBN 1-4116-2795-4]. Now I’m at a loss as to how this took place, and plan to learn about it this weekend. But I just felt the quiver of yet another branch of the massive root system that has become our information environment.
