Please don't say "wheelchair-bound." You'll notice the story you linked doesn't. Heck, it doesn't even use the word "wheelchair."

Wheelchairs are tools that give their users more mobility, not something that binds them.

An inspiring story about an engineer with cerebral palsy at UCSC who's just won a Google fellowship to develop gesture based control systems.
