A message from Gayle Yarnall, Director of Adaptive Technology, a Division of Perkins Products:
Welcome to the lighter side of Adaptive Technology, A Division of Perkins Products. This part of our website is also known as "hints for real life". We will cover real life and how blind people cope with the situations that occur about fifty times a day. I do not claim that all the ideas you find here will be mine. I will take them from any place I find them. Be careful what you say to me because it may show up here. Some of these were submitted by other blind people. If you read this you will know who you are. Thanks for your help.
(Gayle Yarnall is herself blind and uses in her daily life many of the very same products sold by Adaptive Technology, a Division of Perkins Products. Click on the entries below to read Gayle's latest thoughts.)
Two great products find each other
I have posted several blogs that have to do with reading and I am about to do it again. Please be tolerant of my love of reading.
Cooking Al Fresco
A while ago I promised to write more about our visit to Crete. Somehow the time got away from me. Here is more about visiting a wonderful paradise.
My Hands Full of Greece
A few weeks ago, my husband and I traveled to Greece. My next few blog entries will expound on the wonders of Greece and Crete.
We Are Who We Are
Every time someone finds an article about a new, possible, cure for blindness I find it in my email from at least four different people. I know that people mean well and that deep in their hearts they think I spend endless hours wishing I were sighted.
Julie and Julia the Total Experience
When this movie was announced, I knew I wanted to see it. I need to see every movie with Meryl Streep and I also am a long time fan of Julia Child. My first mission was to read the book.
Life Without the Internet
Life without the Internet? NO WAY! I will start this entry by reminding all of you that the things that make my life so wonderful, other than my family and job, are reading, travel, gardening, and everything to do with food.
A Direct Connection with Reality
Today started out to be a normal, hectic, work day. The alarm clock went off at 5:30 I could smell the coffee waiting for me in the kitchen. The dog wanted to go out. I wanted to stay in bed. Not much was different from the day before or the week before.
The truth about grandchildren
I have been a grandmother for almost 17 years. I now have 4 glorious grandchildren.
Remembering an Old Friend and Saying hello to a New One
Sometimes my trusty old Perkins Brailler sits proudly on my kitchen counter and sometimes it sits on my desk next to my lovely flat screen monitor.
Human-sized Lizards in Boston
I have always imagined that I would like to write book reviews and theater reviews. I wonder how different they would be if written by a blind person. Well, here goes my first try.
