Oh man, how I wish I could go! I would LOVE the opportunity to meet him and pick his brain one day. I loved his book!
 
That would be interesting. I actually emailed him right after my hookup and he even replied. A nice guy.
 
He should visit Norway.... you guys (and girls..) get all the good stuff...
 
I really should read his book. It's on my to read list.
 
Like Deafskeptic, it's also on my next to read list! If I wasn't feeling so blah-y, I'd go to the Library right this second. heh. I'll probably stop by tomorrow and let the kids play there after we pick up my oldest from school.
 
Awesome! I wish I could go. :(

He commented on my blog once and I got all giddy that someone so famous actually took the time for little old me.:giggle:

He is definitely a very nice guy!

I wonder if he lurks on here?
 
I'd also love to go and would love to read his book. If it's anything like the journal on his website, I'm sure it's a fascinating read.

R2D2: Wouldn't it be great if Michael did lurk on AD? If he did/does, I wish he'd come out of lurk mode. :)

I think he found my blog through HearingExchange.com. I had just registered there and the site owner added a link to my blog on her home page. The next day I had a comment from him.

:D

It may have helped that I had also just added a link to a video clip of him discussing his CI experiences. ;)
 
Mamatoes: Can you provide the link to the video he made about his CI?

The only video I found was when he talked about what CI is and stuff. THe video was captioned which is a good thing as I wouldn't have been unable to understand him.
