Awesome to see someone on Adam Savage's stature proactively work to destigmatize hearing loss. Way too many people out there resist getting the help they need because of the dang negative stereotype.
Communities have their local legends. Whether it's a dude with a weird haircut who's hung out on the same corner for 40 years, or a mythical bringer of late-night tamales, people like this become a fixture of local culture. Even if you don't know the person, their fame can travel by word of mouth and they become a kind of real-life myth. Here's the tumultuous but uplifting recent story on the Tamale Guy. For something nice, here are some wholesome memes for a little boost.

Zapata Racing just released the Flyboard, a water-powered jet pack available to the public. The Flyboard gets it propulsion from a jet ski idling nearby; its hose forces water to shoot out of the user's feet. Not as cool as a the real deal the public is waiting on, but I guess this is a happy medium for now.
