If you’re using RegisterFly for domain registration or domain registry, this is important news for you.
RegisterFly no longer is authorized by ICANN and therefore your domains are at risks. You need to transfer your domains OUT of Registerfly ASAP!
I switched all of my domains to NameCheap.com and I highly recommend them as they had to manually authorized a few of my domains, which is really above and beyond their call of duty. That’s what I call exceptional customer service!
If you’re having problems read up the FAQ at RegisterFlies.com
Don’t delay - act now to save your domains or kiss them goodbye.

When there’s a disaster, Red Cross is there. What happens if the disaster victim happens to be deaf? How can a hearing rescuer communicate?
UbiDuo to the rescue!!
Rochester Red Cross now has TWO UbiDuos - one in the office and one in the disaster rig.
Thanks to 13Wham.com, Rochester NY’s ABC Television station for getting the word out.
If you want you local Red Cross to considering purchasing the UbiDuo, please contact Winfreepcs.com for assistance.
(full disclosure - Judy S. Gunter, webmaster of deafbiz.com is also Manager of winfreepcs.com and has helped Red Cross with the UbiDuos).

From LifeHacker:
Stuck in the UK trying desperately to figure out how to sign “where’s the loo?” Then point your cellie to MobileSign.org, a visual dictionary of British sign language. You enter the word to look up, and Mobilesign will spit back a downloadable video viewable on your phone demonstrating how to sign the word.
Mobilesign was created by the Centre for Deaf Studies. Nothing against you Brits, but I want this so bad for American sign language it hurts
Zdnet has more details.
Anyone know of something similar in ASL? And will it work in Treo 650?

There’s an upcoming PBS documentary that explores nearly 200 years of Deaf Life in America called “Through Deaf Eyes”.
Be sure to check the local PBS schedule and tape it for your deaf library.
