Of blind blogs, Louisiana humor and stirfried crickets: Chat with David Faucheux at 8 p.m. EST

Posted to TeleRead: Bring the E-Books Home:

One of the library world's most heartfelt blogs--enlivened by wry Southern humor--comes from a man who cannot see his own words. My friend David Faucheux, a blind MLIS in Lafayette, Louisiana, who will do a chatcast at 8 p.m. EST tonight, has been posting to his Blind Chance audio blog since last spring. David is featured on the home page and FAQ page of Audio Blogger and has won recognition from Feedster as well. ALA President-Elect Michael Gorman may question the usefulness of blogging, but David Fauxcheux and his fans don't. Listen to David's new MP3 on stirfried crickets and other insect delights for an example of his work. Or if you want something more somber, hear David remember Nader, the yellow Labrador, his late guide dog. Time to think about helping blind people in your community start their own audio blogs to convey their experiences and needs? More at TeleRead: Bring the E-Books Home.
