00:04 Tempt: One night I had this strange dream. I was 00:08 walking through downtown Los Angeles in 00:10 the future. It was a filthy, overcrowded 00:13 megametropolis. Even in a situation of 00:17 seemingly no hope, a spark of creativity 00:20 and beauty existed. I never took anything 00:24 for granted. Because you never know when 00:29 everything will be taken from you. 00:32 (ventilator pulsing) 00:34 But they can’t take my memories. 00:37 Chaz: He knew what to do with the Gothic letters to make 00:39 them strong and powerful and put the 00:41 muscle in it. That's what I admire about 00:42 Tempt. His letters were gorgeous. 00:45 (somber music) 00:47 Angst: As L.A. emerged, Tempt has always been a 00:49 leader in terms of style. 00:53 Tempt: ALS is a neurological condition where nerve cells 00:55 die, causing full paralysis. 00:59 Ron: He says to me, “I want you to know I'm gonna fight this 01:00 disease, and the people that are around me 01:03 have to be people who do not believe I'm 01:05 going to die.” 01:07 (wheels grinding) 01:08 Mick: When I heard that story, something in me 01:11 just clicked. I'm not a doctor, I'm 01:13 not an engineer, 01:14 I've got no training in this, but I gotta 01:17 figure out how this guy can draw again. 01:19 Angst: I mean, I do remember those conversations, but they didn't know if it 01:22 could be done or not. 01:23 (upbeat music) 01:25 Mick: If there's a device that we can get him that allows him to 01:27 move his eyes back and forth and then 01:28 that moves a cursor on the screen to 01:30 select the letters that makes the robot 01:31 talk, then why don't we figure out how he 01:33 can move his eyes back and forth across 01:35 the screen, it moves the cursor, and that 01:36 lets him draw again? And they said, “You 01:38 can do that?” What the heck did I 01:42 just commit to? These guys flew in from all 01:44 over the world. Hacker-maker culture is 01:47 just, you do whatever you need to do to 01:49 make it. 01:52 James: Dude this isn’t even stranded wire, 01:54 and it said stranded on the, no it didn’t, it said solid. 01:56 Well, that sucks. 01:57 Mick: We just dogpiled on it with a 01:59 bunch of mad scientists and misfit geniuses. 02:03 (somber music) 02:09 This was it, it’s the last night. 02:15 (somber music) 02:21 Mick’s Son: Is he drawing his name? 02:22 Mick: Yeah, he’s drawing those with his eyes. 02:25 (applause) 02:27 Tempt: Feels like taking a breath after being 02:30 held underwater for five minutes. 02:35 Mick: Seeing Tempt draw again was one of the most 02:38 incredible things I've ever witnessed. 02:40 That was the birth of Not Impossible. 02:43 (upbeat music) 02:45 Joe’s Wife: She said, “You’ve got Parkinson’s.” 02:47 Joe: She seems normal now. 02:49 (cheering) 02:50 Mick: The vibrating stopped. 02:51 (upbeat music) 02:54 Yeah!
