Minor nit, but as a blind person who does various types of crafting (woodworking, most recently) I do care how things look. If I was building a lego set for fun only, I may not, care, but I wouldn't say it is "obvious" that I wouldn't.

Anyhow, only noted because I encounter that sentiment often enough to call it out. "You're blind, so obviously you don't care if you get the garrish hot purple cell phone, if you've got the laptop with the cracked screen, ..." :P

You should do an AMA here or on reddit. I think from a tech standpoint alone it could be a very interesting thread and certainly with hobbies like woodworking.

Even in the early nineties when my mother worked with a blind man I found the limited technological aids at the time quite interesting but haven't a clue what variety of output devices might exist now and even things like cooking, where visual queues can often be quite helpful in determining if something is done such as "cook until golden brown".

And things like media, what sort of descriptive content is out there. I remember reading an article that talked about porn hub having descriptive content, but what sort of stuff is out there as far as streaming sites, what might various industry think about adding etc.

I know more exotic and niche thing like MUDs, multi-user dungeons, have actually seen a lot of blind-friendly adaptations in recent years, but what about other things. It would be neat to, pardon the expression, peek into the day in the life of a blind tech person.
