Scanning a braille issue of Playboy

[kestrell]

Kes: Actually, this is more useful as a detailed description of the archive.org scanning process (1,000 pages an hour? I can't decide if I'm more envious or turned on--probably equal parts of both). Also, not only do braille Playboys not include a centerfold, they don't include advice columns, Playboy bunny interviews, or anything else that talks about sex. I know this because I used to read Playboy when I was learning braille in my mid-twenties.

Wait — what? If they don't include the advice columns, bunny "interviews" or other sex bits, why the fuck would someone want to bother? They can get The New Yorker or Atlantic or whevs.

Huh, if I ever have to learn Braille, I'm going to start with something a pretty much know already, give my brain a chance to ramp up, as it were.
