On today's #PositiveNews:
A man who was born without a left lower arm creates incredible prosthetic limbs for children in his garden shed for free, using a 3D printer.
Stephen Davis spent years without using a prosthetic limb. He was disappointed by the look of the arms on offer, and launched Team UnLimbited, which creates customized lightweight, "cool" designs that the children want to wear.

I've updated my avatar to show the mustache that will be slowly arriving over the course of November. That was last year's particularly shaggy look.

I'm seeing a lot of people talking about Zello and other apps as backup communication during a disaster. Specifically how well this worked in Houston during Harvey. There's an important distinction to be made here.
In Houston, much of the communication infrastructure was still operable. Power stayed on to the cell towers and they still had connectivity. [1/5]
