[nabs-l] Inclusive Digital Accessibility World

[Sami Osborne]

Hi Kevin,

Wow, really nice story! It does seem that you've been through a 
lot in the past 6 years.

Wow, you've actually been to China? That's cool.  I've never been 
all the way over there, but would love to go some day and see how 
it is.

How was that Skype conference you were talking about? That's 
really awesome that you got to travel around the world, which is 
also one of my dreams :)

Good luck with all your future endeavors.

Thanks,

Sami.

Resurrecting Kevin's Blog After Six Years...
August 14, 2014
The Summer of 2008 is when my cousin, Michell Gip experimented 
with
Beike Biotech and went in for treatment for an entire month in
Qingdao.  In May 2009, I went to China to make myself a test 
subject
for stem cell therapy.  This was an attempt to create a solution 
for a
problem that I experienced when I was 14.  A decade ago, three of 
my
cousin's (10 years old girl, 5 YO boy, and 12 YO boy) on my 
mother
side of the family, and I were diagnosed with: Leber hereditary 
optic
neuropathy (LHON).
Since October, 2009, I had Twitter.com/KevinChao89 and handed the
Twitter account over to my significant other in June 2014.  Our
joint-personal Twitter handle is: https://twitter.com/janicem2020 
and

On 10/1/12, I was ask to RSVP - Skype Closed Beta Days 2012.

In the mix of my business trip to Europe, I had to plan for my 
work
with JPMorgan Chase & Co.  as Digital Accessibility SME in San

technology company, and working in Silicon Valley all came true; 
I
felt like I was in paradise!!!
