Double-Amputee Walks Again with a Bluetooth Assist
When you think of Bluetooth, you probably think of a Bluetooth headset - you know, one of the ones that keep cutting out on you all the time and don't sound as good as a wired headset. Or perhaps you have a Bluetooth mouse.
In the case of Marine Lance Cpl. Joshua Bleill, Bluetooth is enabling him to walk.

"Honey, did you remember to plug your legs in?"
Seriously, this Marine is doing all amputees a great service by testing this technology and overcoming the challenges of using Bluetooth communication in this fashion. The designers will probably be tweaking it for a while before it's put on the market, though. |

Never mind the Bluetooth, I admire the guy for being able to smile and go on with his life. The same goes for his girlfriend that is still around.

My prayers are with him. I hope he will use his experience to convince the politicians to get our valuable men and women the HELL OUT OF IRAQ!
