I've been getting used to my new smart glasses, which I've had for a few days now. I took them out today, and they seem to have what they call "hallucinations." The first one sent me on a wild goose chase about a mobile phone—it claimed there was a phone on the ground near my fence, but there wasn’t.

These glasses, as I mentioned, have been embraced by the visually impaired community. I heard about a man in Texas who has retired his expensive, probably cumbersome and hassle-ridden CCTV system, and now just uses the Meta Ray-Ban glasses to read his letters. It seems liberating and opens the door to other possibilities these glasses might offer in the future.

It's amazing to hear these have changed some people's lives for the better under purely by accident Hopefully they will improve again as time goes by and make it possible for visually impaired people to participate in things in society which they may be closed out of now by ignorance or whatever

I have been I have been talking to the local football club about crowdfunding for a camera and hopefully they will eventually get round to set up the growth funding page so they will be able to get the camera and I will be able to see the game better and it might help others in relation to accesssibility.  the main issue iwth these glases is tha tyou have to use the irght commnds or it leadds you ona messrry dance I think 

Regarding the football club I was giving advice to the guy next door about his injusred foot he plays for the club and todl him to use ice the club needs him they have had a good start to the campaign and hoefully they can continue and don't need people dropping out due to injusry it seems he has had the injusy a while he probably should have doen dosmething about the injury sooner but hopefully he does somethng now or his season will come to an abrupt end

There are loads of these glasses coming out they do the same thing really but some don't need an app, adn soem are coming out soon so its not possible to see them in action. I guess if you are visually imaprired and not use to wearing glasses its omething else to hae to oevercome.   have worn glasses since i was 18 months old so its not biggy for me 

I do feel self conscious taking to a pair of glasses its not something I will get use to very quickly I am alswys checcking there is no one around 



it's amazing it's amazing

messing about wih clocks

Tonight is the night they mess around with the clocks again, so it will be dark earlier, according to the clock tomorrow, which is shame really, as its dark enough as it is at this time of year, they should be turning the clock forward really so that we get more light in the evening, but I guess that would mean it would be dark in the morning, and those who get up early might not like that, but there are street lights these days, these old rules need changing.  Apparently it is something to do with Scotland that they 'need' it lighter in the morning, well I wish they would have got their independence and we could be spared this messing around with the clock.  Apparenlty this messing around is bad for some people's health and it has been reported that some people suffer a heart attack.  Well I guess its going to happen so I might aswell just accept it, at least the weather makes stupid things like this a bit more bareable ,it has not been too badk today and its not going t...

Neighbours.

 Twol things you can't choose in life, your neighbours. and your relatives. I have not been. very lucky.really with neighbours. Well, I guess there have been some. that have been OK, but most of the time they.'ve been ****.  I have just seen. the son of a neighbour. who? got me a load of **** from. morons in. this village. H I have a piece of land. which has a which has an easement on it as part of the property. and the neighbour has access to his hut from it. The**** parked his motorbike on it one day and things got out of hand. It was a very. pressing situation. especially when he got other people involved. it was nothing to do with the son, obviously, but I guess there are. tensions there. On the other side, I have. a neighbour who is put up this big **** **** fence. which makes my garden a lot darker now, he used to be an ok chap I used to talk to him a lot but this horrible fence has damageed that relationship. I am learning to ignore the fence but its nto easy, Some say ...

strife

My laptop has been acting up for the past few days, refusing to shut down properly. I suspect it got stuck on an update. I tried restoring it but lost patience and ended up resetting it, which wiped out all my apps and data—a total hassle. On top of that, I got an email today about a pair of glasses I ordered online. Normally, I wouldn’t buy glasses this way, but it was my only option at the time. I had spoken with an optometrist about the order but decided to place it myself since it seemed they were just ordering them online anyway, and no options were available in-store. I searched for my old prescriptions at home but couldn’t find last year’s, so I had to visit the shop to request a copy. I sent it to them, but this morning I got an email saying the copy was blurry and missing key details. They also asked whether the glasses were for reading or distance vision, which I wasn’t sure how to answer because I usually just rely on my prescription. I contacted the optometrist again and fi...
