  • Episode 200: The 200th Episode Spectacular, And There's Your Show title!

    Episode 200: The 200th Episode Spectacular, And There's Your Show title!
    Apr 5 2026

    It's the That Real Blind Tech show 200th Episode spectacular, so for this huge achievement, we got the entire gang of Allison, Brian, David, Ed, and Jeanine together to talk about little tech news, and do more reflecting about the past 199 episodes.

    We kick the celebration off with some pre-celebration music which then leads in to the amazing creation from M.C. Goldstein. It is sure to quickly run up the Billboard charts to number 1 if the billboard charts still exist in 2026. We know Casey Kasem would have been a huge fan.

    Did we actually ever land on the Moon? We discuss the Artemis launch from this past week, and Brian's conspiracy theory about it.

    The NYC MTA has found yet another way to screw with accessibility with public transportation.

    You can finally change your gmail user name, but there is a catch, this feature is only available to those in the United States.

    While some of us are rooting for facial recognition to come to the masses, a woman in Tennessee is definitely not one of them as police used facial recognition to arrest her and send her back to a state she claims she has never stepped foot in.

    A recent study finds that LLM's will protect each other over following prompts to delete one another. Oh shit, that can't be good.

    Sixty civil society organizations claim everyone on the planet will be harmed by facial recognition. Yeah, how many people with disabilities were asked about this?

    We then kick off a look back down memory lane and the past 6 years and 200 episodes of That Real Blind Tech show. There's the Blind Feud, favorite moments, technology and accessibility fails, and of course the regular That Real Blind Tech Show humor. We kick the look back off with what else, but the history of how That Real Blind Tech show came to be. Next it's a special That Real Blind Tech show centric Blind Feud, followed by a bunch of questions about technology and changes over the past 200 episodes.

    And it's more of Watcha Streaming, Watcha Reading and of course the full entire Fahrvergnugen hit song. And a special homage ending.

    Mar 23 2026

    It's an all new That Real Blind Tech Show as Allison, Brian, David, and Jeanine tried to get together to record as usual on Zoom, but what a shit show of accessibility Zoom has become. We thought we would never be able to record again, and right before our 200th episode since we changed from That Blind Tech Show to That Real Blind Tech show.

    Brian then goes in to his psychic abilities as if you listened to our last episode he was ready for a meteor to hit the Earth, and one actually did!

    We then bring up the sad news about the possible demise of Innosearch.AI.

    Breaking news, there are still some good people on this place we call Earth, as a 78 year old man was working as a Door Dash Driver, and a bunch of people got together, put up a Go fund Me, and the dude is now rich.

    Google is rolling out free personalized intelligence to all of its United States Gemini users.

    Apple announced the upcoming release of the Air Pod Max 2, but does anyone really care?

    And in our second segment of does anyone care? Amazon is rumored to be working on designing an Alexa powered phone.

    We then discuss That Real Blind Tech show going to Taiwan.

    Brian then dives in to his full recap of this year's CSUN AT Conference. He starts off discussing his and Dr. Bryan Wolynski's presentation at this year's Conference, Artificial Intelligence, In and On Your Face. Brian then discusses all the networking he got done at this year's conference and some of the people he hung out with. He then discusses some of the companies that had a big presence at this year's Conference. We then discuss the big announcement coming out of CSUN, all the disability focused apps coming to the Meta Frames, and soon.
