So, the credibility of this article has been challenged, and though I do not have an iPhone (am not a fangirl!) and do not believe everything I hear, my gut tells me there is some truth in this story. Anyhow, here's the link for, at the very least, your amusement. And the tourniquet was for his leg; he bandaged his head.

Ah, I liked the visual of the tourniquet on his head!! You brought up a very good point, though, Jasmine. Technology is helping us in ways we never imagined. And I think technology allows us to use our creativity to move forwards or sideways, or however we want. I think I sounded too negative in my blog, but I worry about the equality of technology.
