Broadband contest

By DAVID FAUCHEUX

Today, I received the following e-mail. Just when i think I should stop blogging entirely, I get something like this or the e-mail about the audio-puzzles, and I decide to then go on a little longer. I may try to enter the contest myself but am not sure as I barely have broadband and can’t say that it has changed my life that much. Maybe, if I figure out how to make broadband work for me and use it to telecommute…

By the way, I did receive the double CD set of the puzzles and plan to review it soon. Also, I found a magnetic Sudoku board. (I wished for somethinglike that in a recent blog item), and found it interesting. Indeypendent Living Aids imports this product from Germany. My only concern is that for me to get the special sale $70 price, $9 dollars off, I had to order it online as the telephone customer service people could not take the order via phone. I think 9x9 Sudoku puzzles make my head hurt toomuch so I better try to find a Braille book with 4x4 puzzles--are you listening, NBP?

Subject: The "Broadband Changed My Life" Campaign

Hi David,

My name is Joy and I am the director of a new public awareness campaign called "Broadband Changed My Life." Being a blogger active in disability issues, I am sure you can appreciate our mission – to encourage broadband deployment and adoption in the United States and to raise awareness of the benefits of advanced broadband in today's world. I blog about the topic frequently at the Alliance for Public Technology blog.

I think Blind Chance readers will be very interested in participating in a contest we are running. The Broadband Changed My Life Contest

is an opportunity for folks to share their personal stories about how high speed internet access has improved their life and thereby earn a chance to win up to $1000.

Thanks for your consideration and all of your hard work!
