Everything XR — including virtual reality, mixed reality, and augmented reality — need to be born accessible because accessibility is for everyone, not just folks with disabilities.

@Bill Curtis-Davidson the video didn't come through. I think I know what video you're talking about, but couldn't find it. Would love to share it with everyone here.

I'm aware of people with disabilities who were applying for jobs and so frustrated that they couldn't get anywhere regardless if they identified as disabled on their application or skipped it. And they were well-qualified for the job but probably competing against hundreds do the same thing.

Couldn't agree more about Reginé, @Josh Gipper

The challenge is getting someone to type the cc. Auto captioning would be nice ... but it's definitely not ready for regular use. Just for a good laugh 😎

What if someone is hearing-free aka deaf or a lipreader? Video is very hard to lipread.

Agree partly with "use names." One company's tech support used my name so much that it felt contrived. See second email here for real-life example:

I can literally say I heard nothing! First of all, no sound here ... second, born hearing-free 😬

Re: Friday Q&A: How do you deal with people copying you?

Meryl K Evans — Fri, 05 May 2017 13:07:30 -0000

Tell stories. Harder to copy. Sometimes I weave experiences as a person who is deaf in my articles. It'll look awful silly for a hearing person to copy it.

Definitely get sick far less than I did when I worked in an office. No feels-like-I-gotta-throw-up moments from encounters with an unclean fridge or microwave 😎

Amazed the plain offer outperformed the content offer. Shared it with a client. Thanks for telling us about it, Aaron and Borja Obeso

Re: Zero Notifications: The Phone Hack That Could Change Your Productivity Forever

My husband and I are opposites here. He has a lot of apps notifying him. It even distracts me when his phone is nearby. Mine is set for only SMS notifications. Being deaf -- people don't call me, so they email or text. Have to be available to family.

Many of us -- me included -- are like Pavlov's dog. We can't help but check our phone when it buzzes or dings. If I can't be interrupted, I'll put the phone in my purse where I'm less likely to feel it buzz.

Here's another option that doesn't cost anything if you have a iOS, Android or BlackBerry phone. Download Zello and you can talk to more than one other person. It works with Wi-Fi and data.

Re: Writer Mama Every-Day-In-May Book Giveaway: Day 24 Book By Lela Davidson

I was trying to recall a time when I laughed to tears and nothing in recent times came to mind. I think I’m like Libby – laugh meter broke
or fell due to stresses of everyday life. But the biggest laughs these days come at the spur of the moment when my youngest and I do our little thing.

I especially love it when my husband of 20+ years says something funny or laughs at something I said. Good reminder we still have our sense of humor. We also discovered “The Big Bang Theory” this year and those brought a few guffaws.

I go in waves. Generally, I don't have a favorite actor. It may happen with a favorite TV show or a movie that made a big impact on me. Every role is new and different. While it's true that actresses like Meryl Streep can bring every role to life -- I tend to admire an actor based on something I've seen.

You're too generous, Debra. Thanks. Not sure you want to be there with a bunch of annoying 13-year-olds :)
