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...

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.
