My first project was to build an ionization gauge control circuit for Professor Edgar Everhart's Cockcroft-Walton accelerator.

They tried to take it out but were obliged to put it back. He is fed through his nose.

Who wouldn't want to? But I don't want to be the guy responsible for him not getting to that next level. He's got a future beyond high school and beyond the college level. He's one of those special kids. In a couple of years we could turn on the tube and see Gavin Brooks on the mound.

When you turn on the tube you see him hitting six 3s in a game, so you know he can shoot the ball. And this was just one of those nights when he caught fire.

Drilling systems today mainly use water to move mass up the tube and away from the bit. In space, you need to develop a closed system to do that.

You toss the tube in the the duffle and there it is ready to go when the circumstances are right.

I spend a lot of time in L.A., and I think it would probably be easier if I lived there work wise, but there's no city like London, there is so much going on. I can jump on the Tube and be anywhere in 20 minutes, and all my friends and family are here and I'm not prepared to give that up.

I can see why many people would not want to wear the 'stereotypical' hearing aids of the bygone era, such as the hearing tube that looked like a trumpet coming out of your ear, or the wires and cords - but a lot of men nowadays have hearing loss. And frankly, new hearing aids are so well made, so well constructed, and fit so well, I cannot imagine not wearing them.

I decided one night after working with this one foster baby who kept pulling his feed tube out of his nose, I decided to use my two degrees in fashion design and make an outfit that would stop him from pulling these tubes out.
