Ed Gallagher may be blind. But he shared his vision for seeing via Skype on NBC's TODAY Show on Monday.

TODAY called the segment: "One man's blind ambition: Doing it all without seeing a thing."

Earlier this year on this blog, Gallagher, 57, told how he uses a Webcam to scan his surroundings, sending Skype Video to a guide over the Net.

As NBC viewers saw, Skype enables Gallagher to ride a bike, ski, shop and to skipper a boat on San Francisco Bay.

With Skype, Gallagher told reporter Jenna Wolfe that it feels as though he has his eyes back. He said the Skype system could help the blind cross streets or to get a job, supplementing the use of guide dogs and canes.

He said that the technology is being tested through about 40 chapters of Rotary international in the Bay Area.

Gallagher appeared at the end of the segment with Wolfe and TODAY host Meredith Vieira. She hardly is a Skype newbie. She's the host of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" which uses Skype in lifeline Video calls to newsmakers, journalists, former "Millionaire" contestants, politicians, doctors, professors and trivia champs, among others.

Gallagher was featured earlier this year in a film, "Ed's Inner Space," made by his friend, filmmaker and sometime guide, Alison Victor.

Victor said: "Skype permits video phone calls via computer, and is free to use between Skype users. So we got this idea to strap a web camera to (Ed's) head, use a wireless internet connection through an Air card and a laptop and BOOM! I can see through the webcam that Ed is wearing, so I literally become his eyes.

"For example, I'd be at home on my laptop, typing, and Ed would call me using Skype. I'd see what he would be seeing if he could see. I have been acting as Ed's 'remote guide' in this way for quite a while now. (As have others)."

TODAY was wowed Gallagher's "blind ambition." Wolfe said if asked if he ever feels sorry for himself Ed says: "Why? I'm just blind. I'm not dead."
