With the termination of Klango under way and Twitter getting ready to deprecate their streaming API, I figured it's time to look at alternatives. Hence, I've started a blog here on Elten. I suppose I should go into who I am. My name is Garrett Brown, and I'm a technology geek, as well as a starter for game development. I'm also blind, thanks to a dog attack when I was two years old. I also lost a finger because of that dog, but quite frankly I don't notice it much, which explains why I don't tell very many people about it. Since the attack I have undergone at least 15 surgeries, and as a result I have some facial scarring, an opened right eye and a closed left eye. The position of my eyes is stagnant, meaning I can't blink, close, or open them. Because of this, I have to constantly use eye drops for my right eye. To prevent me from getting up in the middle of the night to put in drops, I use ointment and a patch so that I can sleep peacefully. That's all I can think to say right now, so leave your comments below if you have more questions. Thank you for reading!

Hello!
Hello.
Wow, how tarrible
It’s not that bad, I don’t remember it, after all.
wow dude, that must really suck
Again it’s not that bad, I don’t remember it, after all.
Holy crap! How did a dog attack you like that! He even blinded you? By the way, I am a fan of your videos and your youtube channel, I also like the shadow rine thing you did. If I had that same problem like you, I don’t know what I would do.
But you do, right? Aren’t you blind like me?
No I do not have the same problem like you, I was blind since birth, and I can open and close my eyes normally
Also sorry for my inactivity, I didn’t see your comment because I didn’t follow the blog.
I wasn’t talking about the problem with no sight, I was talking about the problem with moving your eyes, I can’t imagine havin that problem.
