254: Learning Braille, Talking Thermostats and viewer emails

On this week's Tech Talk episode, Steven, Tim and Shaun talk about learning braille; at long last Steven has got the Fingerprint braille course from RNIB, and talks about how he plans to learn over the next few months. There's also more of your emails with Sighted Guy Kris, there's also a review from one of our listeners on the Cobolt Talking Thermostat for home heating, and a fierce debate begins over mp3 bitrates! #rnib #techtalk
