[Electronics-talk] living skills list

[Drew Hunthausen]

I use the colorina and like it a lot. I'm totally blind, but I think the
trick is to make sure you have really good light. When I got the color
identifier at first I had the same problem; I had someone help me put in a
small but powerful LED light in my closet next to where I hang my clothes.
It works pretty well sometimes you need to hold the identifier up a couple
of times. hope this helps

Hi,

I had the same problem with the pins when I moved and had a newer washing
machine.  I use the metal Braille clothing labels.  They have holes on each
end where you sew them on. They are sold by Maxi-Aids, Independent Living 
Aids, LS&S and The Braille Superstore.    I do not know if the NFB 
Independence market sells these tags or not but maybe someone else can let
us know.  On this same topic, I am looking for a talking color identifier. 
I tried the Colorino a few years ago but found it to be very inaccurate.  It
said my grey pants were green and my navy pants were purple.  Thanks

Sandra

One simple solution might be to cut the tags a certain way for each shirt,
if there are tags in them: cut off the left corner for one, the right corner
for another, a slit down the middle for a third.  Or maybe use staples, but
place them where they don't touch or scratch you and can't be seen.

Thanks for the tip, I
don't want to get too off topic on this list, but I thought of that the only
thing is that I want something simple if possible as these are t-shirts that
I wear as pajamas and don't want to mix them up after taking them from the
wash.
