After being on hiatus for a prolonged period, I am so happy to announce that my Podcast will be returning later this week!

Simply no excuse for why 9000 people lost their jobs at Microsoft the other day! This is nothing more than executives eliminating talent just to protect their own bank accounts.

Life could not be any better right now! It’s taken so long to get back to happier days, but right now nothing can bring me down.

Sorry to not post on here frequently, I have just been busy with exploring new options for employment. Things are starting to look up.

I am also planning on starting to journal my experiences with restaurants and businesses, and reviewing them from my blind perspective.

Working on new ideas for a brand new series I am going to start recording for and start uploading to YouTube.

Haven’t been too active in the community lately, because it has just been hard to navigate the industry & continue making progress in my career. Forever committed to accessibility in gaming, but sometimes it can be frustrating when I do not make any progress & continue to grow.

Started recording new episodes for my disability podcast! I have decided to re-launch it after careful consideration. I hope you all will decide to give it a listen when I upload the pilot episode in June.

Yes, it is definitely a lot of writing, but I was really motivated when writing this & had a lot of fun with the process. Once I have finished editing it and can get it published. I will go back to writing for my game lol. By the way, how have you been doing my friend? We need to catch up sometime.

After two months of nonstop writing, I have finally finished my autobiography! Now comes the long and arduous task of editing the book.

Found a great new group of friends who are all visually impaired or blind.

Start of the year has been pretty slow with opportunities, but I am starting to finally see some work come my way and that is all that matters. Sometimes things don’t happen when we would like them too, but always remember that when the right time comes there will always be opportunities.

So glad to hear from you! I hope you are doing better now as I know your health was in a very delicate place this last year.

Have decided to revamp my podcast from the ground up since hosting it by myself has become an exercise in frustration. I am adding a cohost who is a close friend of mine and is heavily involved in the assistive technology industry.

I know for a fact that it will be very cathartic for me as well, but I am hoping that this could make people more comfortable with sharing their own battles with their disability identity.

I always thought U had to be old to write an autobiography. However, thanks to my friend Macy Lewis I learned a lot of my preconceptions about autobiographies were wrong. I have decided to start working on my own autobiography with the theme being my battle against accepting my disability identity.

My heart breaks for all of my amazing disabled colleagues in the UK. The discrimination and outright hate you are facing from your own government is unjust.

Just had a total Jimmy Neutron brain blast for my game and I cannot wait to start writing for it!

Finally got my laptop back from the shop. I can now get back to writing for my game!

My laptop has been in the shop for a couple days needing work and boy have I felt lost without being able to write for my video game.

It is hilarious that Trump and his Nazi regime want to assess the threat of SSRI and antipsychotics… The only threat would be if you were to make those medicines harder to acquire for the people who desperately need them.

It all happened naturally, but I am working full-time on my RPG video game for the foreseeable future.

Spent most of the day thinking about names for the various shops in my RPG game. Additionally, have started to think about names for the various consumable and battle items.

Treated myself last night to some Omurice and Okonomiyaki as a reward for 28 straight days of riding at minimumοΏΌthree hours a day for my video game.

Spent three hours today working on ideas for attacks I want to feature in my RPG game I’m making. That was only blade attacks and I still have gun and mace attacks to work through.
