No Sight Required is ranking number 1 on Amazon in new releases for computer and software. I am speechless. I am so grateful this book is helping to address these gaps in fundamentals with AI and assistive technology. Thank you, thank you. https://nosightrequired.com #AIForTheBlind #Books #AssistiveTechnology #Tech #Amazon

Just got done talking with another friend of mine who is certainly a Claude engineering expert... So many ideas, so much to hop on board with, but, we both agreed. It just needs to be laid out in simpler terms, from a first hand perspective. That's my new book, No Sight Required. Available for purchase on Amazon, and accessible formats upon request. https://nosightrequired.com #AI #AIForTheBlind #tech #assistiveTechnology #Motivation #Accessibility

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.

Friends, I've been pouring my heart into something for a long time, and I can finally share it: my book, No Sight Required: The Blind User's Guide to AI, is coming to Amazon in 2026. 💛
Here's the truth that drove me to write it — for the first time in history, the computer can meet us halfway. As a totally blind musician, assistive-tech professional, and advocate, I've navigated my whole life through screen readers — NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, TalkBack. And I've watched AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini open doors I once thought were closed for good.
But too often that technology comes wrapped in jargon and gatekeeping. So I wrote the guide I wish I'd had: clear, practical, and written from inside the blind community. No fluff, no barriers — just real, step-by-step help. How to navigate every major AI platform with your screen reader, a ready-to-use prompt library, and real-world wins: on the job, troubleshooting, gaming, even building your own accessible software.
Because independence shouldn't be a privilege. It's a right. And to claim it — no sight required. ✨
It launches on Amazon in 2026, and I'd love for you to be the very first to know. Drop your email here and I'll send you one note — no spam, ever — the moment it's live:

(And in the spirit of the book: Written by me, helped by AI, finished by a human, checked by more humans. 😊)
Thank you for walking this road with me. Every single share helps this reach someone who's been waiting for exactly this. 🙏
With gratitude,
Tony

For some reason, the Mail app on my Mac isn't showing all of my email. I've checked every setting I can think of, made sure everything looks correct, restarted the computer, and I'm still missing messages that show up just fine on my iPhone.
One thing I noticed is that VoiceOver keeps announcing "Primary." Does the Mail app on macOS have some kind of inbox categorization that could be hiding messages? Has anyone else run into this or found a fix?
