A child of the Southwest and of the 50s -- a woman who knew me well once said, 'Yeah, the 1850s.' Generally culturally conservative and distrustful of new and improved innovative change. Very seldom overtly serious, but many a truth is spoke in jest and all of my truths are. Worked my way through UT when I was up in my 30s. If I'd, by some horrible miscalculation ended up in Bryan, I would've worked my way through that school over there. Have worked all over in printing and publishing. I've held a bunch of jobs and quit all of them but one. I am a journeyman printer and followed the trade and heard its dying gasps as it was throttled by technological change. I had a sponsored blog on a newspaper but quit the job.
Take a peek at this vid, sent by a friend who sends me stuff, of a baby hearing sound for the first time, thanks to a cochlear implant. His face tells the whole story.

That is a prime example of a picture is worth a thousand words.
I also watched the twelve minute video of the little girl (it was the next one) and it was delightful to see a whole new world open for a family.
This is timely for me, as a friend of mine just received an implant and she remarked at lunch, "Is this what salad sounds like?"
We take so much for granted until someone opens up our eyes, don't we?
