Listener Michael King dragged me in there, and threw me into the deep end. There’s a lot of excitement about a new video teleconferencing system called ooVoo, over at. I’ve gotten some delightful recordings so far and I’m really enjoying them! If you’d like your story played on next Sunday’s show on May 18th, be sure to get them in to me THIS WEEK I sure hope you’ll send one in, this will be a lot of fun. Last week I asked you if you’d send in an audio recording telling me how you learned about the show. Now I want to give a gentle reminder about the latest homework assignment. Homework reminder – recordings for the 3 year anniversary Pictures of mom and her setup and all 3 of us. And if your mom is still with you, give her a call and say hi – that’s what she really wants from you. She still does a wonderful job of capturing our family memories in her class, so it’s all good! Head on over to the blog, see my beautiful mom. This was very helpful for a long time, but she can’t see the text any more at all unfortunately. When she got it my brother set her up with a cool program called Lyon Large Type that works with Word Perfect to give a high contrast, giant sized version of the text you’re typing at the bottom of the screen. There’s a good reason, not just mother abuse, why she’s using a 14 year old computer. You definitely want to check these pics out, I got a shot of the Extreme Reader, but also of the startup screen of her computer, sporting a 66 MHz cpu, 640 kilobytes of memory, and a 16MB hard drive (partitioned into two 8 MB drives of course!) She runs Word Perfect 5.1 on this bad boy under DOS.

I took some pictures of my mom and her “gear” – and I’ve got them up on the blog. Because she’s so interested in technology, she really seems to enjoy hearing about my podcast and all the fun I have with it. Now that you’ve heard her yourself, can you believe she’s 87? do you see why she’s my hero? I don’t know how it happened, but we both turned into geeks when i wasn’t paying attention. In the interview that follows, she’ll be reviewing the Extreme Reader from Guerilla Technologies. My mom is 87 years old and blind, and if anything she’s doing more exciting things with her life than ever before. Happy Mother’s day to all the moms out there! I was trying to figure out what I could to to honor the moms out there, and I figured the best way to do that was to give you the long awaited interview with my own mom. Today is Sunday May 11th, 2008, and this is show number 150. Macintosh, mother’s day, accessibility, Extreme Reader, iCal, Honda, Archos Listen to the Podcast Once (47 min 05 sec)
