To most folks, a day working from home means time all alone and taking it easy.

And while telecommuting does come with its own benefits, Alex Abenchuchan isn't like

most people.

First thing every morning he's in his office searching for the most important new stories

of the day and getting ready to connect with hundreds and thousands of people from his

home in Buda.

ALEX: Really, my bread and butter is the daily news that I do here in my home studio and

the things that I'm covering from the news stories I'm finding on the internet.

I'll usually pick around eight news stories and then distribute it online.

First it felt funny, it felt like, as if I was talking to myself.

I didn't know if people were even gonna like it.

BOB: Uncertainty did not stop him from stepping into the spotlight.

Three years ago, Alex started doing something that would not have been possible without

social media.

Delivering an online newscast from his spare bedroom entirely in American Sign Language.

So I was born deaf and both of my parents are deaf as well, so I grew up with American

Sign Language as my primary language.

I can remember when Russia was doing the annex of Crimea.

Huge news story.

I noticed that the deaf community wanted to know what it was that was going on but they

wanted to have it accessed in American Sign Language.

There's a bit of a disconnect between the deaf community being able to keep up with

the news.

A lot of deaf people enjoy reading captions but reading captions isn't the same as having

it in your own native language when you're watching the news.

So I had decided to do just a short little video to explain what it was that was going

on and I posted it to Facebook and it got shared over 300 times.

Social media has really just changed the game.

I can do everything right here with a computer and a camera and do the same work.

I'm just able to do it and if people like what you're doing, you know, your viewership

will increase.

BOB: Lights, camera, action.

And so The Daily Moth was born.

Fluttering into the streets of the information super highway.

When responses started pouring in from all over, Alex took it as a sign to keep going.

Now he receives hundreds of comments, thumbs up, and even art from appreciative fans.

ALEX: I always get emails, comments everyday, just saying, 'thank you so much for doing

this.'

Sometimes I'll meet someone in person and they'll ask, you know, 'hey can I take a selfie

with you?'

You're a celebrity.

Uh, yeah, in the deaf community.

Yeah, there's a lot of recognition that I've got because lots of people are watching.

The hearing community doesn't know me, I'm kind of hidden in their world.

BOB: Well, his face may not be on the cover of tabloids but Alex does deserve some fame.

Behind the door of The Daily Moth is a one man band.

And a tour of his tiny studio is proof..

And so this is where the magic is happening.

BOB: ...that it's all still very homegrown.

But shining a light on a community spread across the world.

While other countries are very condensed and everyone is born into the same culture and

has the same food and has a very similar experience growing up, for us in the deaf community,

I might be the only deaf person in the house.

ASL is kind of what connects us.

I use my toe to control it and then I'll do my sign language from there.

That's amazing!

And there are hearing people that can learn American Sign Language as well.

Hello, I've got a special guest here today and what's your name?

Kelli, and Kelli is from

BOTH: Texas Country Reporter.

Report.

Report.

Report-er, there you go We can't grow ear cells so it's tuff for us to join you but

you can always join us.

The internet and social media's been so important 'cause I feel this connection of what it is

that's going on out in the world.

American Sign Language is it's own language.

It has its own grammar, it has its own rules, its own structure, it is its own culture.

Deaf people depend on lights to see each other signing, so when we come to a place that's

really dark, we tend to gather where the light is brightest, so that we as deaf people are

kind of like moths.

So it's kind of funny, it's a deaf culture thing to be a moth, so that's where the show's

name came from The Daily Moth.

There's kind of this, like, looking down on us, but you gotta understand that for me and

for the rest of the deaf community it's our own reality.

We're fine, we're doing well.

We wanna be viewed as equals.

And the world is unlimited.

There's so many languages, cultures, people all around the world, it's impossible to experience

everyone's life.

But, you know, is one superior to another?

I think we're all just equal.

I think we have different experiences based on our upbringing and, you know, being deaf

is just one of those diverse parts of life.

BOB: Deaf humor, deaf culture, deaf news, all bringing the deaf community closer together.

Using visual language rich with expression, The Daily Moth is a testament to the human

desire for connection, the need to feel understood that all of share.

And for Alex Abenchuchan, well, that's what it's all about.

Everyone wants to find their purpose in life.

I love getting to be behind the camera, to do news, and to use American Sign Language

to meet all these different people.

I also feel like I'm giving a service to the community that they're benefiting from, so

it's a beautiful thing and I want to continue doing this for a while.

Don't Mess with the Texas Horned Lizard - Duration: 1:16.

- [Narrator] This is the Texas horned lizard,

a species which happens to be the official state reptile,

and you know what they say, "Don't Mess With Texas."

(gentle music)

The Texas horned lizard is aptly named

because of its numerous horns.

The most prominent horns are the two central ones

located at both the center and rear of the skull.

Frequently preyed upon by other animals,

its distinct coloration allows it

to camouflage itself amongst vegetation.

But when hunted by creatures

such as snakes, coyotes, and hawks,

they can either inflate to a larger size

or flatten in order to blend in with the ground.

However, their best and more unique defense against prey

is their ability to shoot a stream of blood from its eyelid,

directly into the enemy's eyes.

The Texas horned lizard's population

has dropped dramatically in recent years

due to the state's rapid urbanization,

leaving them with a shrinking habitat.

This is the Texas horned lizard.

BREAKING News Out Of TEXAS…

LOOK WHO JUST GOT REUNITED!!!

SPREAD THIS!

Two siblings in San Angelo, Texas, were reunited for the first time after their parents and

2-month-old sister were killed in a head-on crash earlier this month, Fox News reports.

Five-year-old Zachary Clemens was reunited with his 8-year-old sister, Angela Clemens

this week, Teresa Burrell, the children's great aunt, said on Facebook.

Teresa Burrell‎ to Siblings fight for their lives after losing parents in fatal accident:

"I stand all amazed at the miracles which occur when we align our prayers with our Heavenly

Father's will.

Yesterday, we asked for you all to send a special prayer for Zachary.

We have seen so many miracles with him.

Yesterday, he was able to leave his bed and get into the wheelchair for the first time.

He and Angie were able to see each other for the first time.

Angie has had a lot of brain injuries, but yesterday she was able to read and sing with

us.

Our hearts are so full of the miracles we are experiencing.

This morning Wyatt was taken out of his wheelchair and was walking towards the physical therapy

room and the therapist had to stop him from trying to run.

Thank you so much for your support and prayers.

We feel them.

Miracles are Happening!

This is Zachary and Angie.

They are able to touch each other for the first time since the accident.

Our prayers are for these little ones who have a long journey of healing ahead."

Zachary, Angela and their two other siblings, Wyatt, 4, and Nicholas, 2, were involved in

a head-on crash on Saturday, April 7, FOX News reports.

The Clemens were heading back from a family outing when the driver of a Tahoe lost control

of the vehicle, veered into oncoming traffic and hit the family's Suburban, KTXS-TV reported.The

children's parents, Jim Alan Clemens, 31, and Karisa Brianne Clemens, 29, were killed.

The crash also claimed the life of their 2-month-old sister, Juliana.

Zachary, Angie and Wyatt were all taken to a local hospital in critical condition while

their 2-year-old brother escaped the accident with only minor injuries.

He is now with his grandmother while his three siblings are treated at Cook Children's

Medical Center in Fort Worth.

"Little Zachary broke his back, but could feel his toes and that's awesome.

But when they took him in for surgery his lungs, they really struggled," Burrell said,

according to KTXS-TV.

Angie, who only recently awoke from a coma, suffered various brain injuries as a result

of the crash.

Wyatt was paralyzed on his left side and suffered strokes following the accident but is on the

mend.

Burrell wrote on Facebook that the 4-year-old is an "active little boy who is walking

(carefully) and playing.

He rarely sits still."

Two separate fundraisers have been started to help the family pay for funeral and medical

expenses.

One fundraiser, on Facebook, has raised more than $100,000.

The other, on YouCaring, has raised nearly $40,000.

Local authorities are still investigating additional details of the crash, People magazine

reported.

We wish them the best.
