Anyone who is blind, or who has worked with the blind, knows how expensive our technology can be. This couldn't be more true with relation to braille displays. Even the cheapest costs at least $799, and it's already behind the newest in that line, at $899. This is the Orbit Reader 20 and 20+. Now, a student in India wants to change that by creating a display that is truly affordable (under $50)! Please pass this on, so that we can give him greater recognition within the blind community. Even if it costs a bit more than he initially suspected it would, there is no excuse for the $2,000 to $5,000 average price of such technology when cheaper alternatives can be designed! He is determined to bring this to market, so let's help him do it and show our appreciation for his hard work on this life-changing project!

What does it mean to be a good man—and how do you raise one? 
They say fatherhood changes everything. For filmmaker Justin Simms, becoming a dad in 2016—right as Trump took office—it sparked a profound reflection on how boys are raised and how masculinity is modeled.

Simultaneously engaging and stimulating, this examination of how philosophy is not just important to living, but necessary, is probably the best intellectual and practical entrée to the topic ever produced. Philosophy should not be ‘noble’ or ‘high brow,’ nor only for elites; all can find value in it. To be alive, but also to ask ‘why will I…?’ or ‘should I…?’ are inseparable for anyone with a brain.
Very highly recommended.

“[A]uteur filmmaking is a matter of cultural survival. It’s our resistance to the massive commercialization and Americanization of popular media.”
