This video highlights some of the changes and adaptations we have had to make to allow me to continue to present in public. Prior to getting #ALS, I presented regularly around the country on many technical topics. As you will see in this video, I now present with my wife at my side.

In this video, you can share the journey and the fun of working through an airport and on an airplane with a Go Chair. This was our first experience doing this and with the help of #Delta the experience went very well. Living with #ALS does not mean you cannot travel; it just means you travel differently. I hope you enjoy this day in the life while living with ALS.

Working with ALS: Tools and Software Presented at KY ALS Resource Meeting July 2023

Present on the tools and software that I use to continue working with ALS for my local Kentucky ALS Association Chapter Resource Meeting in July 2023. In this meeting I discussed both the hardware and voice solutions that I have used since losing functionality in my hands and arms. using multiple cameras I demonstrate the hardware I'm actively using including Roller Mouse, Stream Deck, Microsoft Adaptive Buttons, and Stream Deck Pedal. Some of these tools I do not use in a traditional fashion but it shows how I'm able to use them in my current condition. We also do a short demonstration on using Voice Access in Windows 11. I hope that others find these demonstrations useful and are able to take advantage of some of these tools.

For links to the products and additional information about decisions I made to use these tools and not use other ones, please visit https://dataonwheels.wordpress.com/working-with-als/.

Thank you for your continued support as I can share resources for everyone to use that allows them to continue working in spite of their disability or disease.
