[nabs-l] Analytic Tools

[Joe]

These are great ideas. Software would be great, but I think the low tech
options is what I'll end up leaning on. Elizabeth mentioned a blind
architect at this year's convention who spoke of Braille embosser graphics
and wiki sticks. If anyone has further ideas on this, they'd be much
appreciated. Thanks guys.

Hi Joe,
How about using index cards and Brailling pieces of data on them? You can
use that sticky stuff they used in school to put up posters on walls, I've
no idea what it's called but it's like some kind of puddy, put that in the
back, and so if you are trying to rearrange things to find different
patterns, you can move them around. It's a bit low tech, but it works. Aside
from Excel I really can't think of any helpful software that would be good
for mapping. So software engineering friends out there, can you please get
on this soonest?
Thank you! :)
I'm sure that didn't help at all but I tried!
