What is occupying your weekends, folks? I am playing a few rounds of Battlegrounds on Hearthstone, got my new bed from Facebook marketplace all situated, and some bits of cleaning. Of course, Claude to the max... :)

Drop Deck has hit a total of 1500 downloads in just 30 days. I am so grateful this software has helped bring accessibility to streaming and radio for so many. Thank you endlessly to the feedback and bug reports you all have sent into the ether. It has helped make this an incredible program to use. Microsoft Azure code signing is coming this month, so, no one will have to worry about smart app prompts warning you on a harmful software due to it's lack of signatures. Taking steps one at a time without breaking too many things... Cheers to you. 🎉🎊🍹

Reminder if you needed one today: it is not too late to learn the new tech.

Go easy on yourself. You are doing fine.

New free app for my blind and low-vision friends: ElevenLabs TTS Studio — an accessible desktop app for ElevenLabs text-to-speech.
Keyboard-first and screen-reader-first: searchable voice picker, generate, play, save, history. Every control announces properly. Bring your own API key.
Built by a blind dev, tested with a real screen reader — because accessibility is the point, not an afterthought.

Go do the thing that lights you up today. Play one song. Write one line. Build one small thing. Passion isn't a lightning bolt, it's a fire you feed one log at a time. ?? #Passion

I'm proud to announce the launch of Blind Productions.
Blind Productions is a showcase and community I built to celebrate blind creative professionals — musicians, DJs, actors, authors, podcasters, and content creators — and to give us one place to discover each other's work, collaborate, and connect.
Here's the honest part: this is the ground floor. The doors are open, the foundation is built, and now it's time to fill it up. I'm inviting you to help shape what this becomes — a living archive that future generations can search to discover the musicians and creators who came before them, and a moderated space where we create, support one another, and network as a community.
What's here today:
• A searchable directory of blind creatives, each profile with a bio, links to their work, audio to listen to, and video to watch.
• A moderated community forum for collaboration, support, opportunities, and networking.
• Accessibility built in from the ground up — screen-reader friendly, fully keyboard operable, with adjustable text, themes, and high contrast on every page.
So here's my ask: start submitting profile suggestions. Nominate yourself. Nominate the artists you admire. Bring the people who deserve to be found. Create a free account, join the conversation, and let's build something that lasts.
This is how a legacy gets started — together.
Explore and submit: https://blind.productions
You must be 18 or older to join.

We can't make every one happy. Someone will love what you do, and there will always be someone else who despises it. Don't let other's insecurities be what defines you, friend. 💙
NVDA is the most used screen reader around the world right now, and training for students is just not as popular as it should be. NVDA Coach was designed from the ground up to fill that gap for newly blind adults and kids around the globe to have free resources at their finger tips. More time learning and preparing for their future, and less time spent on the frustrations of affording tools.... www.tonygebhard.me/nvdacoach

Chase the thing you'd do even if nobody clapped. That's your real passion. The applause is nice, but the fire was yours before anyone was watching. Keep it lit. ????
I used to be an avid user of Waves TrueVerb for IR and stereo imaging for spaces in my mixes, but, shoot, TG Spaces does it all with so many rooms and configurations. Try it out! Promise you won't be disappointed. https://tgstudios.app/spaces/
No Sight Required is now available on Bookshare for Bookshare authorized customers. Beyond happy to see this book help so many. I'm smiling ear to ear. https://nosightrequired.com #Accessibility
Blind professionals have always worked a second, invisible job alongside the visible one. The access job. Converting the inaccessible, working around the broken, doing in five steps what colleagues do in one.
AI cuts that job's hours dramatically. That is the quiet revolution in my book.

I will be setting up an automatic payment portal to that will allow you to choose the format of your choice outside of Amazon. Thank you to those who have been patient while I answer every single accomodation request this first week for the book. I apologize to the few that got overlooked for a brief moment, appreciate the follow up emails in the inbox. For right now, I will handle special format requests by hand until I have it automated by stripe. you are amazing! https://nosightrequired.com #AI #Books #AssistiveTechnology #NoSightRequired
Self support tip nobody tells you: asking for help is a strength move, not a weakness. Better to feel the hard stuff in someone's arms than alone with darker thoughts. Reach out today. ??
NVDA Coach will be localized for the Chinese language in the coming week. Preparing No Sight Required for spanish release, as well. Can not wait to update everyone on some exciting things coming our way! Remember, you rock the socks! #tech #AssistiveTechnology #BlindStuff #Traveling

Chatting with Meta's Muse right now in Whatsapp, and it unsubscribed me from over 75 different lists that were sending spam to my Gmail. This took less than 5 minutes...
I am excited to announce a Spanish translated edition of my book, No Sight Required, will be launched on the website later today. I want to thank my partner, Mateo, for being super patient and incredibly dedicated to help with this project. https://nosightrequired.com/es/ #AI #SpanishBooks #Technology #AssistiveTechnology #NoSightRequired
