Camera Obscura

One of the most comprehensive sites I have found for links to anything related to blindness, blind people or vision loss, and a place you can subscribe to any blindness-related mailing list and lots of good organized links to interesting reading not related to blindness while you're there. Clearly created by someone who has lost the ability to sleep at night!
