I do have to amend this a little. I love the accessibility of it all, but I hate the price point.

What good is accessibility without an accessible price!?

Assistive technology gets talked about in terms of what it does. But I love what it gives back as well.

Time. Confidence and independence.

What has it given back to you that you did not expect?

Put on Mon Rovîa today. Afro-Appalachian folk rooted in his Liberian heritage, with a voice that has this hushed, aching vulnerability to it.

Heavy Foot is the one. It will stop you mid-scroll.
Such a great artist!

A new monitor just dropped that uses ambient light to cut power by 80% and looks like paper on screen.

For those of us with light sensitivity or low vision, displays that reduce glare are not just nice to have. They matter.

I want to see it in use!

Saturdays I think about tools that quietly changed everything.

Not the flashy ones. The small ones. The app that let me read a menu. The settinga that made my phone work best for my needs.

The CEO of Lighthouse Guild is blind. He just ran a half marathon through NYC guided by AI glasses, a sighted coach watching live through the lenses.

Built with blind leadership at the center. That is what good assistive tech looks like.
