I saw this Clip the other night, its a documentary video about a boy named Ben Underwood, who had taught himself to use echo sound location to navigate his way around. Ben is basically blind, but he managed to do something really incredible. This is actually just the first part clip of the documentary and there are five separate parts if you have time to watch.
I really thought he was amazing. It reminds me of that movie "Daredevil".
I never really thought it was possible, since I only seen it done on movies and cartoon animes...That's a real Wower. How can a blind person play Video games?...that is something.
Received this from a Forward Email,..Last week. I thought this would be really awesome to share who doesnt know yet. Pure awesomeness!!
Working Replica of Noah's Ark opened In SCHAGEN, Netherlands .
Man Builds Noah's Ark to the exact scale given in the Bible.
The massive central door in the side of Noah's Ark was opened and the first crowd of curious townsfolk beheld the wonder. This replica of the biblical Ark was built by Dutch Creationist Johan Huibers as a testament to his faith in the literal truth of the Bible.
The ark is 150 cubits long, 30 cubits high and 20 cubits wide. That's two-thirds the length of a football field and as high as a three-story house.
Life-sized models of giraffes, elephants, lions, crocodiles, zebras, bison and other animalsgreet visitors as they arrive in the main hold.
A contractor by trade, Huibers built the ark of cedar and pine. Biblical scholars debate exactly what the wood used by Noah would have been.
Huibers did the work mostly with his own hands, using modern tools and with occasional help from his son Roy. Construction began in May 2005. On the uncovered topdeck .... not quite ready in time for the opening .... will come a petting zoo, with baby lambs and chickens, and goats, and one camel.
Visitors on the first day were stunned. 'It's beyond comprehension', said Mary Louise Starosciak, who happened to be bicycling by with her husband while on vacation when they saw the ark looming over the local landscape.
Now that I am old and gray....give me the time to tell this new generation (and their children too) about all of Your mighty miracles.
Psalm 71:18
Here's Some more images: Check it out..Isnt that huge?...it took 4 years to build it with just him and his son...thats a wower!!...Amazing!
Saw some clips of this Flying toy last Night, I thought it resemble to those UFO stuff.
I guess technology is being taken to its new heights.
It looks really awesome, I found it cost about 250 - 300 dollars plus insurance and other parts separately sold...hhhm..I might think about it.
