Life is full of things that just aren't fair, like bad traffic when you're already late, the person in front of you getting the last blueberry muffin, getting the flu the night of your big graduation ceremony, or in graffiti artist Tony Quan's case, becoming paralyzed from head to toe and no longer being able to do what you love the most, draw.

Tony, who suffers from Lou Gehrig's Disease, is not one to let something silly like paralysis stand in the way of his dreams. So he developed EyeWriterEyeWriter, the open source computer program that allows him to draw and create art using nothing but his eyes - the last body part he still has control over.

Learn more about the EyeWriter technology in the clip below from the documentary that tells Tony's amazing story:

Heaven forbid you should ever become paralyzed, it's good to know there are pioneers like Tony paving the way for future handicapped artists.
