kestrellMy summer internship at PegaSystems ended yesterday: I can't believe how much I learned, and working with their accessibility team was amazing! As someone with an autoimmunce diseas, however, I felt as if I had no energy for anything else, so I'm looking forward to being able to do some writing and other projects again I'm still planning to pursue certification as an Accessibility Technology Professional.
Speaking of accessibility, Google recently announced that they've added some new features to Android

including Sound Notifications. This is a feature for people who are deaf and hard of hearing: it will alert the user to environmental sounds when they occur. Android already has some default sounds, but now users can add their own by recording sounds such as microwave beeps or specific alarms that you want Android to alert you to.
