After wearing an eyepatch for many years, he recently got a prosthetic eye implanted – and decided he wanted to become what he calls an "Eyeborg" – a part-human, part-camera cyborg.
"I was looking at the small camera on my cellphone, and I got to thinking about the Bionic Man," he said in a recent video on his website.
"I want to turn my prosthetic eye into a wireless camera,"

"I didn't think anyone would ring up but I've had at least nine or 10 people calling about her. It's gone mad. There was no one I knew - just people asking, 'Is she still available?'"..
