In this episode of iCantCU, I talk about the new Oakley Meta smartglasses and why, despite the hype, I’m holding off for now. The camera’s not centered like I’d hoped, and they still only shoot vertical video—great if you’re all-in on Instagram, not so much for YouTube. The recording time is a win, though: 30 minutes vs. just three on the Ray-Bans. But if the Oakleys don’t wrap around like my standard pair (which helps with glare), I’m probably not interested—unless they start shooting horizontal video.

I also dive into my trip to New Orleans for the NFB national convention. Let’s just say the travel there started with a missing wallet and at the convention, almost everything that could go wrong, did—from tech issues to accessibility frustrations to a basement flood back home.

There’s also a PSA for allies: if you’re helping someone blind or low vision, ask before jumping in. Don’t assume. And don’t hand my boarding pass to someone else.

Finally, we're selling raffle tickets to fund the NFB of PA scholarship program. $5 could win you up to $100—and helps students who need it. Email me if you're interested: [email protected].
