Oh my! There are 28 holds on this book in the library. Obviously it is a popular one.

Interesting. I'll see if our library has it.

Re: Loneliness

Having just lost my beloved 17 year old Faith kitty, I am becoming familiar with that gut-wrenching lonely feeling again - and it definitely sucks the big one. I've had Gary Zukav's "feel your feelings" and Eckhart Tolle's "be in the now" batting it out in my head for three weeks now and I am no more confused, emotional than I was.

Diane, all I can say right now is let the tears flow when they are there and count your blessings when you feel them. Life is messy and uncomfortable at times.

Shan, I love how the book taught you a lesson even without reading it!

Re: Defective Mystery Clue #1…and Big Bird Would Be Sad.

No more sleeping with bird brains, Amber! And, yeah, breathing is critical; I learned that the hard way. Here's hoping that your healing is as simple as being more discerning about your bedfellows. :)

Re: Defective? Maybe. But Determined.

An easy-to-cure-once-diagnosed Naslund Syndrome sounds like you. Wishing you well, Amber.

Wow! Very insightful. Well spoken. I hope Matthew finds where he belongs; he has much to contribute.

Re: A Fabrication of Our Feelings

I have realized that most "experts" place unnecessary limitations on those of us with disabilities. Many of them don't see the potential - the kind that is beyond your wildest imagination - and that is far more limiting than our disabilities.

This weekend I was at a business conference (and that comes no where close to describing the event, which is more of a community than a conference) and everyone I talked to was so supportive, encouraging about helpful towards my desire to become a public speaker despite my significant speech impairment. And, it wasn't patronizing support either. I keep thinking of my high school guidance counsellor; there's no way he would have advised me in this career direction. But,that is the way I am going!

My advice to parents of kids with disabilities is to surround them with positive, supportive, creative people, including peer role models, and watch their kids grow and flourish beyond what the experts say was possible.

Re: How Noah Kagan (From AppSumo) Built A List Of Over 600,000 Followers (After Getting “Fired” From Facebook)

GlendaWH — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 19:38:21 -0000

Great interview, Clay. Very meaty. I do, however, take issue with Noah's comment that tying speed is linked to intelligence. I type with only my left thumb due to my physical disability. Because of my slow typing speed, I have found other ways to increase productivity to compensate. By using typing speed as a hiring criterion, AppSumo would miss out on my other knowledge and expertise that might benefit the company. Be careful that the metrics used are actually measuring what you think they are.

Pam, I like that story. A good one to remember.

Karen, thank you for reminding us to be mindful today.

Re: 13 Steps to Creating Your First Kindle Ebook

GlendaWH — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 17:08:58 -0000

Thank you, Denise. Yes, my book is enrolled in KDP Select and made a whopping $1.70 last month...it is a start !

I was all set to try a free day or two this weekend, thinking people would be open to curling up with their Kindle on a cold, wintry day. But then I froze. I wasn't sure how using a free day worked as promotion. Does Amazon do something on their end to promote it?

Re: 13 Steps to Creating Your First Kindle Ebook

GlendaWH — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 01:08:40 -0000

Denise, makes perfect sense! Thanks to the two webinars with you and Daniel, my autobiography I'll Do It Myself is now available on the Kindle - http://amzn.to/sfLHBm.

A presentation from last year has been written up and is with an editing friend. I hope to launch it within a few weeks. A few other ebooks from existing content are also in the works.

The piece that is lacking is the marketing strategy.

A beautiful, heartbreaking post! Thank you for sharing, Mark, and for doing what you do. And, yes, many curb cuts are a pain in the butt, literally!

Re: Mobile Marketing Isn’t a QR Code

GlendaWH — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 18:22:05 -0000

Another case of where web accessibility is a must!

On my way home from LA on Monday and seeing QR Codes EVERYWHERE, it struck me: I need a QR pointing to a landing page on the back of my scooter! Next step: figure out the how. Suggestions welcomed.

Re: Web Accessibility in the real world

GlendaWH — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 23:05:51 -0000

Thank you for a great interview with Derek and for raising several important issues around accessibility, like finding that balance that works for each organization.Perhaps by being diligent about being accessible, it'll became part of your work flow and, over time, you won't give it a second thought.

If you need someone to keep accessibility on your mind, then I am "Your Accessibility Conscience".

Tip: When providing a transcript, indicate the speaker for each segment. It'll make following who said what much easier.

Re: One way Google Circles can be amazing

I'm a Google+ newbie as of today, but can't you share with "Public"? I'm just not sure who constitutes "Public".
