This is a space for unfiltered thoughts and experiences from my perspective and a space to call my own on the internet. Here, you'll find a humorous (and sometimes brutally honest) take on life, navigating the seeing world as a person with sight impairment, and the wonderful (and often frustrating) world of technology, all served up with a healthy dose of my unfiltered thoughts and opinions.

To me, it is the only way to ensure that this device remains a tool under my control, rather than a master of my attention.
