Oh wow, Mike.... Thats really awesome! You even can multi-task with your thumb on your Mac! If one says that they cannot do what they would like to do, they should watch you! Even though I have moderate to several cerebral palsy, I have chills from watching you because you made my point regarding my favorite quote We Can Because We Think We Can!

My youngest sister had CP and little control over her body. There were simple communication devices but nothing like we see in this video. Technology in this case has without a doubt helped to improve quality of life. The value of life was and is always there.

If that Warlock only knew, I'll bet he wouldn't have done that to the guy :P

Mike seems like an awesome guy, I'd love to have a video game jam session with him sometime.
