Hi, Everyone,
We hope you’re doing well, and if you’re here in the States, that you’ve got some fun plans for the upcoming long weekend. Even if, like us, those plans are a whole lot of relaxation!
We promise not to take up much of your time, but wanted to drop into your inbox prior to the weekend to share some virtual event news. Announcements are divided by headings to make browsing easier. We’d appreciate it if you’d share with friends or colleagues who may be interested. Thanks in advance!
A Quick Note on You’ve Got YouTube
Our YouTube event may be over, but you will soon be able to check out the hours of content provided. We had a wonderful time sharing well over four hours worth of tips, navigation strategies, and demos to help you get the most out of YouTube. Whether you use an iPhone, Android phone, Amazon Fire tablet, BlindShell phone, or Apple/Roku/Fire TV, we cover it all. We also got some great questions and tips from participants. If you spent your time with us over three weeks, we’re so glad you came, and are eager to share with everyone else soon.
Visit this page to add your name to the wait list. You’ll be the first to know when this event is available as a product. It will be downloadable in both DAISY and MP3 formats, include all the content from both class sessions and questions from our Q&A, and even have additional material. We can’t wait to teach you about YouTube.
Free Event for September, When Not to Rely on AI
AI can definitely be helpful when it comes to simplifying tasks, organizing research, and answering questions. But it can also give completely inaccurate and incorrect answers, too. This event is for discussing the more negative aspects of AI. We’ll give examples of when using AI has been an epic fail for us, when you should couple it with other technology, and when using it may just be a bad idea in the first place.
Whether you use AI via your web browser, on your phone, or through your voice assistant, we’d love to have you join us for this event. And yes, there will be lots of time for your stories, questions, and group discussion afterwards! The event takes place on Thursday, September 17 at 8:00 PM ET. It will be recorded if you’re unable to join us live, and will be on our free downloads site as soon as possible after the event. If you’re unable to join live, please wait until then to grab the download and save seats for those who can be there live. Visit this link to register your free seat. Just enter your name and email address in the form. Registrations are processed manually, so you won’t receive an email right away with the joining info. We’ll get it to you as quickly as possible. We look forward to sharing this very interesting class, and to hearing your experiences, too.
Our Next Virtual Event: Understanding GPS and Finding Your Way
There are many misconceptions about what GPS is and what it can and cannot do. Whether you’re bran new to GPS, use it all the time and want to learn more about it, or not at all adventurous but still curious, this will be an enlightening experience. Kim has hoped Chris would teach an event like this for a long time, and she finally twisted his arm. Expect a lot of down-to-earth, practical info and explanations in a warm, laid-back style. Chris has worked with GPS, personally and professionally, for 20+ years. This is not a technical class, so don’t be shy about asking basic beginner questions.
This is a two-session event. The first 90-minute session will take place on Tuesday, september 22. A Q&A session will follow on Tuesday, September 29. Each session begins at 8:00 PM ET. Both evenings will be recorded if you’re unable to attend live. If you have questions about GPS that you’ve always wanted to know but have been afraid to ask, bring them to class. It’s going to be a lot of fun. Visit this page to learn all about the event and register your seat. as with our AI event, registrations are processed manually, so please give us a little time to email you the joining info. We’re keeping this very affordable to make it easier to attend and learn.
Sending you restful vibes, and we hope you enjoy the last gasp of summer, or winter if you’re in the southern hemosphere. Stay well, everyone, and thanks so much for your interest. We appreciate you!
Warm Wishes,
Chris and Kim
The Mystic Access Team
