This was on the landing page of BBC’s US site $1. I’m already thinking of ways to use the same technique for room layouts in my house.

Matthew Shifrin, the climber mentioned in the article, also started the effort to convince Lego to provide instructions in braille.

Matthew keeps really busy. He does work in assistive technology, too.
