Okay, this was actually recorded on a Friday, but it’s being uploaded on a Tuesday, so it still works. That said, if it makes you more comfortable to think of it as “Taco Time!”, it’s yo’ thang. Do whatcha wana do. Etc., etc. Download, grab some tacos—hard, soft, regular, fish, whatever suits you—and maybe some chips and salsa, and don’t forget you…

I could swear I posted this earlier, but I can’t find it on the site, so if this is a duplicate adventure, somebody let me know and I’ll take this one down. This was recorded way back on June 15, 2017. I thought about adding some commentary to it, because there are stretches where I’m not sure it’s clear that my friend and I are moving on the bike.…

At long last, Blind Geek Adventures is back! I explain the reason for the insanely long hiatus during our walk around the block, so I won’t write it here. This time out, we’re testing some new binaural mics which are part of the Ambeos Smart Headset from Sanheiser. These are designed specifically for the iPhone, and so far, they’re fantastic. Since…

Hey, folks. Long time no see. This particular episode might not be available for very long. It’s mainly being put up to test the feed, which has been out of commission for a couple years now, at least as far as posting new episodes is concerned. We’ve been able to get episodes which had been posted earlier to show up—episodes I made before I knew t…

Hiya, gang. This was recorded on August 17, 2019, just a few weeks ago. Jackson’s Corner is a local restaurant about half a mile from my house. Zeke and I decided to make a morning sojourn of it, to test out some … well, re-discovered equipment. I’m very happy with the results. I forgot I was recording, and on the way home, Menissa and I get into a…

Hey, everybody! Little darlin’s, it’s been a long, cold, lonely winter! But now, I see the smiles returning to the faces, because we have brand-new podcasts! This is the first of what will be many new podcasts to come. Blind Geek Adventures is back in business, baby!!!! So let’s go back in the Troup Time Machine to sometime in May of 2015. This was…

Holy jeez, it’s been a while! Yes, this podcast still exists. Yes, I plan on making more frequent contributions to it. I know, I did say in the beginning that this podcast would be irregular, but never in my wildest dreams did I think there’d ever be over a year between updates!!!! Last Friday, I had my first (mostly) unassisted cooking experience.…

Hiya, folks! We’re going back to March of this year. This was one of my first walks in my new neighborhood. Zeke and I are accompanied by our friend Menissa, and we go forth to seek adventure and lunch at a restaurant called Superburrito. It’s a longer podcast than usual, because I figured I’d let you all discover this place as I did. It’s a chain,…

Hi, ev’rybody! I need your help. I’ve taken a short trip to get the mail, and recorded it in two different ways; I’d like your help to let me know how you’d like to hear future BGA podcasts. Do you prefer the sound of the first half, where we walk to the mailbox, or the second half, when we return home? There are pros and cons to each; there’s no r…

They’re here, they’re here! The brand-new mics are here!!! In this episode, we unbox the new in-ear binaural mics and take them for a test run to Starbucks. Fun times to be had! I’m very interested to know if you, the listener, notice any difference in the spaciality and/or quality of these new microphones. I know how they sound to me; I’m just cur…

Here’s the episode discussed in the previous one, from October 30, 2014. Step into the WayBac machine and let’s go. Incidentally, I do still have the mono recording mentioned. So if there’s interest, I’ll post it… although I should tell you, we’re going to be exploring that whole area in depth on this podcast in a short time, so the recording’s rel…

Hi, folks. Glad to finally be back. Please forgive the audio quality in this particular episode. The why of it is explained in the episode itself, so I won’t bother to repeat it here. It sure feels great to be back! The website mentioned in this episode is Dreaming with Jeff. As I did on our walk, I strongly encourage you to check it out. It’s an a…

Wow, has it been a long time! Over a year! Not an intentional break, I assure you, and not something I plan on repeating. We’ll get into why the break happened in a future podcast, during a walk. And when I say future, I mean a couple weeks at most, not a couple months. Anyway, assuming we still have any listeners left, thanks for sticking around, …

If you listen to this podcast for the chatter, this may not be the podcast for you. Zeke and I put BlindSquare to the test by tagging the entrance to the Cascade Swim Center. I tagged the entrance as opposed to just the address because in order to get to the entrance itself, I knew we’d have to cross a parking lot, a small park area, and who knew w…

We’ve been doing a lot of walking in these first episodes, so I thought I’d show you another kind of fun to be had in this podcast. We’re taking a trip in the time machine, back to June of 2009, when I took a crack at making spaghetti. This was originally published on the Blind World Blog and Podcast, but now that I have a podcast of my own, and si…

No, its not what it sounds like. Zeke and I are heading to the local monthly blindness support group. We hit a bit of a stumbling block at the beginning, but once we’re back on track, it’s smooth sailing and fun for all. Then, on the way home, we get into a discussion about one of the coolest heroes to emerge from the pulp era–the one and only Doc …

In this podcast, Zeke and I put BlindSquare, an app for the iPHone which uses Foursquare and an open-source map system to combine into a formidably competent GPS app for blind travelers, to the test. We start out simply going to meet our friend Terry for morning coffee, and wind up getting more of an adventure than we bargained for on the way home.…

Hi, everybody. Already, some changes are upon us. The theme is gone. I still love the song, but it came down to a simple choice between more or less post-production. So thanks, Kevin Reeves, for letting me use your song. No hard feelings. Just decided to go themeless. Anyway, in this podcast, I unbox my new Skechers Go-Walk slip-on shoes and take t…

Hi, everybody. Thanks for checking out this blog and podcast. The purpose is very simple: Follow me on walks, interviews, trips, and whatever other adventures come our way. All you need is a pair of headphones, enthusiasm, and perhaps a method of walking along–whether it be a treadmill, or taking a stroll through your own neighborhood as we go. Due…
