happy birthday, louis braille!

[jabumbo]

you were born outside of paris on this day in 1809.


you invented the braille alphabet by modifying french army codes to create a simpler and faster way to read.


you were also a very skilled cellist. even more impressive that you were blind while doing all of this (y)
