    I guess the blind guy my Ex is going out with could use this to mark which clothes he was wearing when he saw his girl on the side, so he wouldn't get caught again. It's not like he can see if there's glitter on his pants, and my Ex did put on like 70lbs when she started going out with him.

    @GitEmSteveDave_DeathPanelist: From the written part of your story, you need to make her a lot fatter. And he should have lipstick around his collar.

    this is really cool! working in the pharmacy biz, it never really occurred to me that anyone could create prescription labels in braille. it's probably difficult because braille takes up more space than the small print, but this is an idea (lifehack?) that i'm surprised i've never heard of before.

    @ekzachtly: Those cane swingers have Braille Printers, so I wouldn't go to the trouble of printing it for them. Let them do some work. Or get their dog to do it.

    Wow, good luck to them! That would use so much less power than solenoids, which I assume the old desktop braille terminals used!

    Will this work with things like Playboy? I think if they could figure that out, it might sell.
