I just stumbled upon more of the story of the YouTube video I posted a few days of the 29-year old mother who received a hearing implant and was able to hear for the first time.

I had the privilege of joining in as a special guest of episode 124 of the Techology Show this morning. We chatted about numerous topics including the Missional Holiness Convention I attended last week in Allentown, the Pat Robertson Alzheimer’s statement, Octomom’s public statement of hatred towards her children, our dislike of the new Facebook home page, the Machine Gun Preacher movie, and even Angry Birds Halloween costumes.
The Techology Show is a weekly podcast that I attempt to make time for every Wednesday morning from 9-10AM as they live stream over at thetechologyshow.com!
Tonight while at Ella’s Kindergarten orientation, I received a Facebook message alerting me that one of my friends was watching the local evening news and that one of my earlier Tweets regarding the East Coast Earthquake was read on the air!

This method is definitely a 400-level course – and I LOVE it.
I’m VERY tempted to try this when Winter strikes in a few months – I wonder if I’ll have the same success?!
I’ve heard of this method before – creating a magnifying glass from ice – but I’ve never actually seen it in practice until stumbling on this video!
