RNID leans on BBC ?
At The Rim Why is the BBC suppressing an government report, criticizing the RNID's 'Typetalk' text system ? My last blog which gave links and an insight to what is, an official report, is deemed too 'hot' for the BBC ? Surely deaf people have a right to be informed, when they have been validated for their criticism of this system and abandoned it day one ? Sour grapes from th...

Ofcom Slams Typetalk as obsolete and Useless ?
At The Rim Ofcom has final supported, what deaf have been telling the RNID for the past 8 years, in that the 'Typetalk' text-relay system is no use to deaf people, and doesn't work for them. The RNID's flagship BT collaboration system is now in tatters, so how long will BT continue to fund this Turkey of a system ? Even at this time, the RNID is continuing to put funds into t...

Kalalau's Korner A discussion vlog: Carl Schroeder explains that Church people and believers used to say no to Galileo Galilei's discovery in the 16-17th century that the earth rotates around the sun.

Moderation in Postings
RSGeo-007 I had to write this after the near-flamefest here (the audism posts) and on The Deaf Sherlock last month. Over the years, I've been a moderator in chatrooms and message areas.

Becoming an Advocate
The CI Circle News Quite possibly one of the hardest things for me to swallow through our first year of becoming parents to deaf children was the average civilian’s lack of knowledge. Though I’d worn those very same shoes for 26 years prior to having my first child, I quickly forgot my own condition, which was weighted with the same ignorance. I immediately began my habilitation as soon...

Solidarity.
The Regency I was reading a 'disability' messageboard recently and came across the following fine comment:It is shocking how often the people who surround the disabled will attempt to exert power and be abusive. Power over what they will provide - even if you know of a better and cheaper option - power over how you are to be perceived and represented, even if you can do a better ...
