There are none so blind

I have been wearing glasses with a very old prescription for over two years. In that time my sight has changed. I can't see anything much close up to match the fact that I can't see any distant thing either. I won;t claim to be be blind as a bat because bat's faculties are quite different.

I am going to start with the book version of Randy Pausch's Last lecture. I have written about him on the blog before. It looks like a nice little book. A good looking package.

I CAN SEE!
