Michael is a frequent guest on the Assistive Technology show and it is with great pleasure that I announce the release of his new guide which I’ve been anticipating for some time. If you’re looking to use your computer for more “fun” things, this guide is definitely for you. Although I’m pasting the information below, info on Personal Power, links to Michael’s blog and additional files can be found at http://www.blind-planet.com/content/personal-power

Personal Power is a guide to help blind people explore the many leisure
activities and personal pursuits which their accessible computers make
available to them. It is a richtext file which should be saved to your hard
drive and can be opened with nearly any word processor or kind of computer.
The guide and mp3 lectures may be shared and copied freely as long as the
content is not changed other than to make it available in alternative
formats. It isn’t a manual so much as it is a kind of traveller’s gazette
based on my own personal experience stretching back over two decades. I had
a whole lot of fun growing up with accessible computers and even more since
the Internet gained so much presence in everyday life. I invite you to
freely share in my good fortune. Accessible computers and the Internet have
had a profound effect on my life. They can for you too. Your computer is so
much more than a work tool. Enrich your personal life and have the kind of
fun your sighted piers have enjoyed for decades.
