The Coburn Blog

Welp, the makers of Zoomtext have done it again. They came out with a new, inexpensive product for the normal sighted community called ZoomWare.  You should check out the below video, its awesome!

Well, I just got around to upgrading my Wordpress blog from the old 2.33 version,  to 2.6,  and I must say, I am very impressed with this new version!

I get this question asked alot of me, so I thought I would answer this in a blog post.  The question is:  What is the best laptop to get?

Here is an interesting site a friend of mine sent to me.

This summer, I’m taking CIS 280, which is a co-op internship class. My Guidance Counselor from school, found me a job at a web development company called Vision It Now. I just had to do it to complete my 96 hours of internship required for my degree. I couldn’t get paid for it, otherwise it would mess up Social Security, and that 1,500 “total household income” limitation crap, so I volunteered to do it for free for those 96 hours, but the job ended up not working out like I had hoped.

Welp, after 18 years, its almost official. 18 years of struggling not being able to see well enough and figure out how to get information off the blackboard, overhead projectors, Powerpoint presentations, in my classes, it’ll be finally official May 9th at 6pm at Notre Dame in South Bend Indiana, finally a college graduate!

Well, yesterday I graduated from the Leadership Academy. Graduation was held at Anderson University this year.

Some of those names are hard to read, I understand. President Thomas Snyder is the head of the Leadership Academy for all 13 regions of Ivy Tech throughout the country. Most of the regions are around the Indiana Michgan area, but there were some just outside as well. We had a few guest speakers during the graduation ceremony, but I can’t tell you what all their names were, I forget now. LOL

Well a new version of Wordpress was released the other day, the long awaited 2.5

and my brother inlaw thinks I’m an Operating System install nut? I’m nothing compared to this guy, check this out:
