Thomsen Young, one of the staff writers of Signews, interviewed several deaf/hh bloggers to get their side of the story on why they write. One of the interviewee was me which will be seen by subscribers of Signews.

McConnell, who lives in New Mexico, believes that deaf blogs brings the deaf community together. "The Internet is a powerful communication medium, whatever the source of information that is passed on whether its e-mail, instant messenger, video-phone, blogging, or personal web pages, both deaf and hearing communities benefit greatly. It actually brings people a little closer enabling them to understand each other better." McConnell uses Blogger.com, a free hosting internet website that give step-by-step instructions that makes it simpler to self-publish on the Web.

At least this deaf-oriented online magazine fared much better than the now defunct Deaf Success magazine of which I was the last one interviewed by Trudy Suggs for their Fall 2003 magazine (see here and here containg my interview with pictures). Deaf Success magazine barely lasted a year.

Another recent interview by a political blogger who asked me about recent political events and my opinions. Also, be sure to check out my exclusive report of sComm, Inc that will hit deaf/hh expos across the nation in 2006.
