Survey
This was posted on one of the mailing lists I receive. If you are 18-65 and late deafened (hearing loss age 12 or later; or majority of loss age 12 or later) this is for you! My name is Jill Meyer and I am a doctoral student at the University of Missouri. I am currently working on my dissertation which includes a survey on how coping affects individuals who have late deafness. All information collected is anonymous. We will raffle off 6 VISA gift cards ($50) for participation. The on-line survey link is https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/CVD7SG9 Please participate soon and feel free to pass to others. Thanks!

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 laser yet. Apparently Google likes it when your domain name is the same as a search term. The site received 1000 visits from google searches in April. I’ve now engraved 6 iPads and expect 8 more soon, not counting Don’s. It turns out that corporate orders are the easiest, they already have their artwork, their logo. For the iPad focus I want to create an “artist series” of engravings. This would be helpful for individuals who...

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 need a car once you are there because you can walk right to the ski lifts. The gondola offers free transportation to the more modern and built up side of the mountain called Mountain Village. The skiing is a fabulous mix of miles of beginner runs that take half an hour to make it all the way down and tons of lovely expert terrain with enough steeps and trees and bumps to wear anyone out. Then there is the Hike-To terrain, and even back country access and...
Welcome
I'm a 30-something year old girl originally from upstate NY and now living in central Virginia. My background is in mechanical engineering and I worked full time as an engineer for 8 years. In 2010 I quit my job and started a laser engraving business.
I lost my hearing at age 14 and have been using hearing aids since then. In April 2009 I received my first cochlear implant. That went really well so in December 2009 I got the second. The CIs are what prompted me to start writing publicly - but I try to cover other things as well.
