Hettie, you don't want to guess what my current SMS/notification sound is on my phone then....it's a short sound clip from the original Frankenstein movie...LOL!

But, don't really plan to try anything quite that odd, whereas, yes, you know I play around with all sorts of other alternative forms of gadgets and software.

Stay well

Hi Jacob
You see that was the fact that you love cooking and are a technology boffin,
could be a dangerous combination...

LOL!

Hettie, you sound almost like my sighted occupational therapist sister now -
she was worried about a blindie using sharp knives in the kitchen, and I
told her to go have a look in my one cupboard, where my non-kitchen knife
collection is sort of stored - yes, I have a lot of knives there, of all
types and sizes - and, I reminded her that, ranging back to sighted days,
I've spent a lot of time in the kitchen - probably more than most of the
rest of my family, because I enjoyed it...

Stay well

Just make sure what you're cooking, it might become your body part...

Interesting, and, I also like the following piece of the description:
"augment our own bodies with stuff we make in the kitchen"

I like cooking...<smile>

Hi all
I hope you enjoy this as much as I did. Imagin one day you may need a new
ear and receive one made of an apple plus....

Andrew Pelling is a biohacker, and nature is his hardware. His favorite
materials are the simplest ones (and oftentimes he finds them in the
garbage). Building on the cellulose structure that gives an apple its
shape,
he "grows" lifelike human ears, pioneering a process that might someday
be
used to repair body parts safely and cheaply. And he has some even wilder
ideas to share ... "What I'm really curious about is if one day it will
be
possible to repair, rebuild and augment our own bodies with stuff we make
in
the kitchen," he says.

Why (some) parents don't vaccinate

The many-headed dragon of public anger has a mouthful of fire for parents
who don't vaccinate. But such scolding misses the mark, alienating caring
parents who just want their kids to be safe.
