Hi there, my name is Steph Yin and I'm a writer for Nautilus (nautil.us), a magazine about science and culture. I'm writing a story on innovative white cane technologies, and am interested in learning more about people's experiences with them. If you've used an alternative white cane technology: have you found it useful? If you have not: why not? I'm looking to chat with someone today or tomorrow—my piece is due tomorrow (Monday June 8). You can respond here, message me, or e-mail me: stephanie.f.yin at gmail.com. We can also set up a phone call. Thanks so much! (P.S. I recently did a Q&A on echolocation with Daniel Kish, president of World Access for the Blind, which might interest some of you. You can read it here: http://motherboard.vice.com/read/what-its-like-for-someone-whos-blind-to-see-by-echolocation)
