Here's a partial screen capture from Deaf Weekly May 26, 2010 newsletter highlighting its most-read story in the last issue. I did not expect to see my blog piece highlighted in the Deaf Weekly newsletter. I suppose it was the title that got people's attention. This was also the case in Deafread's Top 10 Blogs over the last 30 days where my blog generated alot of initial interest, curiousity, and perhaps certain assumptions what my blog title may have suggested. But this is not about the number of hits. This is about getting people's attention to the fact that the hearing community along with parents of deaf/hh children sometime do have a different perspective and feelings about the Deaf community. Especially among the few who may have a habit of making the Deaf community look bad. Something to ponder when it comes to people with different perspectives on life in general and the people they meet along the way.
Oh, before I go, take a look on the left side of my blog. You can see a picture of me with a YouTube logo that contains a link to my new Kokonut Pundit YouTube channel. Check it out if you're curious. Not much there yet but feel free to look around. It's still quite new.
UPDATE: Something to add here. Check out my first Kokonut Pundit's ASL video message to deaf community.
I hope you will enjoy my video. It's not much.

Oh yea! When my husband approached me with your post on his Blackberry and mentioned that story, I knew you got hits from just about every deaf person in America. You see, he does not check out blogs nor vlogs. Neither does he bother to read mine. :p Somehow, your post got his attention. LOL.

Hi Mike! I just watched your first Kokonut Pundit YouTube channel. Great job! I was bowled over with the clarity of the video. would you mind telling me what equipment you used? I'm so tired of blurry and dark vlogs. your signs are expressive and elegant.
May I offer some constructive feedback for all vloggers? I have a short attention span. Please compose your thoughts BEFORE starting the video. If you could get to the point in 3 minutes or less, that would be great. Maybe if the video could be edited to eliminate the pauses, the hand-, nose-, chin-rubbing, and the beard- and head-scratching, 7 minutes could be saved right there. :P
