Amazon no longer allows Illinois professionals to get credit for referrals to Amazon due to a sales tax dispute. I will be referring to Powell's in the near future.

What is that TinyURL notation that you see in my blog? For those who use a screen reader, the link that is hidden behind words like Tech Psychologist Guide remains hidden. However, screen readers can read aloud the website address, or URL, if it was produced by TinyURL.com. Also, sometimes these addresses are so long that they wrap around several lines or overlap into colored areas of a website that obscure the actual address. Intrigued? You can create your own tinyurl's at http://tinyurl.com

A different Kind of Travel Show

Zach Anner took up Oprah's challenge to create a new program for her network, and Zack submitted a charming video. Although he did not win (reportedly, there was some controversy regarding the voting process)Zack was not deterred and has continued to create videos. Here's his audition:



He now has his own website: http://therealzachanner.com/. Check it out!

Even though Zach has obvious physical challenges, I'm glad his mother helped to nurture his creativity and sense of humor. She did a great job, and I hope to continue to see Zach sharing with anyone who will listen.

There are many who seek to exclude those who are different, whether wheel-chair bound or walking, Muslim or Christian, but they are all members of our communities. Do not allow those who spew hatred over the media silence those who dare to remain visible. You rock, Zach!
