Firing the Laser
So Don and I purchased a high quality, American made, 40 Watt laser cutter. I’ve had it about a month now. Back in March, a week or so before the iPad came put I picked up the most boring domain name I have owed so far – iPadLaserEngraving.com. I added minimal content since I didn’t even have the [...]
Not really an update…
I have a bit of writer’s block lately so forgive the stream of consciousness post…. I figured it was better than not writing at all. aaaannnd.. that as far as I got…. d’oh…
Charlottesville-Albemarle Saxophone Ensemble
Here’s a medley of views and music from a gig the saxophone ensemble had at the Scottsville Farmer’s Market on May 1. We’ve been playing together for well over two years now and our two year anniversary for our first performance is coming up next month. Check us out on Facebook to follow the latest [...]
Awesome photos from Telluride, Colorado
One of my favorite places ever to ski and to visit is a tiny town in the Southwest corner of Colorado called Telluride. I’ve been there four times over the last five years staying around a week each time. The town is small but very nice to walk around with many places to visit. You don’t [...]
More deaf with CIs
One thing I’ve noticed since getting CIs is that I’ve never been as deaf in my life as when I don’t have them on. It isn’t so much the change in my hearing but more the fact that I was never without my hearing aids and never without spare batteries. I even slept with my [...]
A really useless transcription
Barely enough to get the gist of what he’s saying…. could have done better just focusing on trying to hear. I prefer using text relay versus captel. The relay operator is a better advocate than I am for myself. Outcome: no CI activation until the 4th even though I had an appt scheduled for tomorrow with [...]
Waiting and snow storms
Today is the day. I’m not first this time so have to wait more I think. Not terribly hungry due to stomach butterflies. I had to reschedule/cancel my pre-op appointment that was supposed to be two days ago because Charlottesville got over two feet of snow. The snow stopped Saturday night but my street didn’t see [...]
Residual hearing post Medel CI
I just had my 6 month mapping and will post about that soon. In the mean-time for those who are curious, here is a comparison of my implanted ear’s audiograms before and after the CI (residual hearing). Hearing With the CI is 15-25 across the board, 250 to 6000 (they don’t test 125 Hz but [...]
Playing with Google Wave…
By now you’ve probably heard of Google Wave. It’s a new “collaboration tool” from Google designed to replace email some day… or something like that. Right now, to me, it just feels like a cross between threaded instant messaging, a multi-user forum, email, twitter, a chat room… I’ve used instant messaging (IM) for years and years [...]
More about work and motivation
Dan Pink on the surprising science of motivation | Video on TED.com I love the talks at TED.com. Not only do they have subtitles in multiple languages on I think ALL videos, they are recorded in such a perfectly clear and high quality way that I can understand them without the subtitles. Even on my tiny [...]
