GE

This post is inspired by a discussions earlier today with john (npub1v7k…tfk0) and The Beave (npub1q6y…t3sh) about building a Braille Bitcoin wallet to enable the blind to self custody Bitcoin.

The black and white photo is my Dad (right) who was best man at his best friend Bernard Chapman's (left) wedding.

The colour photo is Bernards son Julian, who was best man at my wedding.

Julian is in Blackpool with Betty Chen from our Taiwanese office and Barbara Knox an actress from the British soap opera Coronation Street who was there celebrating the installation of a giant sign board we had built for the Sandcastle.

Julian's father designed a Braille reader for computers back in the DOS days, when he sadly passed away too soon, his son Julian took on the project, but was thwarted by the success of Windows GUI systems.

So Julian pivoted his company to sell the solenoids and stepper motors he had became an expert in as part of his Braille reader design work. He still runs that company today.
