TAP not supported on iPhone 3G

Posted on July 10th, 2008 by tayler 14 Comments »

UPDATE: AT&T Announces TAP for iPhone 3G [deafmac.org] I’ve been waiting to purchase an iPhone for over a year. First announced in January 2007, the first generation was launched in July 2007. I decided not to get it last summer because 1) rumors were going around that 3G would be available and 2) a plan wasn’t [...]

AGBell plaque: political suppression at NTID

Posted on May 23rd, 2008 by tayler 20 Comments »

Note: there is no transcript of the vlog. On February 22, 2008, I commented: I have so much respect for Alan Hurwitz. But I have personally spoken to him and he implied that removing the AGB plaque was out of his hands. Again, out of respect to Dr. Hurwitz, I recommend this coalition to bypass NTID [...]

The above vlog was produced with Seesmic Video right from my Wordpress blog on the write screen. No longer do I have to upload a video somewhere and paste it in.

TaylerInfomedia releases new video-based forum: DeafThat!

Posted on May 7th, 2008 by tayler 8 Comments »

Forum-based websites are everywhere. DeafThat! is different. Based on videos, discussions are carried out in sign language. Similar to video comments on DeafVIDEO.TV, it’s easy and fast to make a post by video. DeafThat! can be compared to DeafVIDEO.TV, but is different in two ways. Discussions are grouped under forums; and It’s easier to start discussions. On DeafVIDEO.TV, YouTube [...]

Did I finally beat tinnitus?

Posted on May 5th, 2008 by tayler 7 Comments »

As some of you may know, I have suffered tinnitus for the last 10 years. On top of tinnitus occurring more frequently in deaf people, I sustained a brain injury when I was 12 years young. Until recently, I did little to track my daily habits to see what was setting off my tinnitus. Ringing in [...]

Myths about DeafSide

Posted on April 30th, 2008 by tayler 10 Comments »

“DeafSide” means pushed aside Quite the opposite! Jared and I are ASL users and cannot speak. Would we put ourselves on the side? Our interpretation when we first thought of DeafSide: “Our side of the story”. Well, we’re listening with our eyes. We will choose a different name. Everyone agrees on…. I wish! I’ve signed with several people, and [...]

Agree to Disagree: DeafSide discussions

Jared and I expected DeafSide to start discussions (debates?). And that it would create issues, implications and problems. It is all good. One thing I’m seeing is not whether DeafSide makes the lines of division clearer, but that the deaf community is already divided. Before DeafSide (or whatever name) made itself known, people already had ideas, [...]

You will need to restrict your search query to the “google.com” domain only, and select the “Search only closed captioned videos” checkbox to see the relevant results. Hat tip to [...]
