I’m reading more about the “next greatest thing on the Internet” called SecondLife.
It’s a virtual community where you can create your own world, and possibly make money from it.
Is there a “deaf community” there yet?

Where Sign Language Is Far From Foreign
Since I live in Rochester NY, I do have a unique perspective.
Recently DeafNation held it’s show in Rochester, NY. How many attended? I don’t think it even hit 3,000.
How does this square with 90,000 deaf or HOH that the NY Times claims?
And there’s a lot more to Rochester than just the deaf culture. How about jobs? Deaf-owned businesses? Mr. Zack is hearing, so why is he part of the story? We have a deaf insurance agent and a deaf owner of a sign language agency. Why not interview them?
Of course, the “NY Slimes” leaves out the full story, as usual.

I’m getting really frustrated that there are podcastings available that I NEED to listen and there’s no transcription available (yeah, yea it’s all about the money).
Has anyone come up with a creative solution to use VRS to interpret a podcast?
Or is that a no-no?

Back then, I wrote about podcasting and the deaf .
Thanks to Digg, a real estate agent with hearing loss wrote about how podcasting is gaining a wider acceptance in selling real estate, while forgetting about their potential deaf customers.
