Today, I make a brief plug for the online petition to get Google to rethink their strategy of using visual verification to keep spammers from getting into their value added services like gmail, blogger, etc. For more information concerning these issues and how they affect blind people, surf on over to the Blind Access Journal and subscribe to his podcast while you’re there.
I also play some more podsafe tunes from the Podsafe Music Network and include a rare surprise at the end of the show.
I played the following songs:

This is a little shorter today. I squeezed this in around some other technical issues I was dealing with today. I want to offer some Scottish music today to complement a good podcast I listen to a lot called Hart and Music Radio. They are doing a two week feature on Celtic music so I thought I would add to the noise a bit.
I played the following songs:

I’m finding the Podsafe Music
Network to be so rich with content, I’m trying a new format where I
mostly play podsafe music and talk less. Hey, it’s almost easier doing
this because I don’t have to come upwith so much original content this
way:).
I played the following songs:

WordPress has a feature where you can post blog entries via direct
e-mail. This post is to see if that feature works. If you see this,
then it obviously worked.
If you’re curious how blind people use Linux systems, take a ride over
to www.linux-speakup.org
where you can learn about the kernel patch that makes Linux talk from
the very first boot up messages until the final shutdown message. It
really rocks.
The Podsafe Music Network is an exciting resource where us podcasters can find some good music to legally play without hassles from the greedy record companies. I as a blind person, ran into some hoops to jump through while navigating the web site so I want to share them with any other blind users out there and it also sheds some light to anyone else who just might be curious how us blind people do the web and other computer activities with general ease. As you listen here to the show, you will notice some accessibility challanges that we as blind people often run into as well. We also play a “Podsafe” tune and the link is below.

In today’s show #4, I record the session during which I take a noisy grinding CPU fan out of one of my computers here and install a new one. It turns out to be one of the easiest things I could do to a computer’s hardware.
In this short episode, I join the many other podcasters out there in asking you to give to relief organizations of your choice to help those devistated in the hurricanes. Here’s a couple to choose from:
The American Red Cross
The Salvation Army
Well, I am rebuilding the blog space here. It seems that B2 Evolutions had problems with hogging resources with MySQL so am trying Word Press now. Listen to my first episode of my podcast. I plan to add back the other show episodes shortly.
