[nagdu] o/t My friend Albert J Rizzi on GoodMorningAmericausingdevice to see with his tongue

[Tamara Smith-Kinney]

Yeah, it was really fascinating.  I remember hearing a few years back about
a new gizmo they're working on that will let people see with their tongues,
which my "source" thought was really exciting while also being excitingly
weird.  That was the extent of my source's knowledge (can't remember who;
I'm thinking someone at dog park or stranger on street corner), so I sort of
penciled said gizmo in on my to do list of things to research sometime in
the next 3 to 5 years...  Complete with a margin note, as follows:  HUH?????
/grin/

Now it all makes sense, and the technology is beginning to arrive.  I'd
heard about the camera glasses, too, and inevitably get the image some crazy
60's bad sci-fi special effect...  /lol/  I knew it wouldn't be like that,
but I was able to see enough to counter the image with one of good old dark
glasses.  Ain't progress a wonderful thing? /grin/

I thought the piece was really well done and well presented, too.  Good job,
Albert!  Oh, I was happy to see some pretty pale yellow fluffyness and
exclaim: "Doxeee!"  It was early when I watched it, so I am very easily
entertained.  /grin/
