Visit your local Harley-Davidson dealer. They have a program called, Rider's Edge, which is a motorcycle safety class to learn and earn your motorcycle license. They use the 600cc Buell Blast and it's a lot of fun. ...And addictive!! Last summer, I got off my butt and took the class...

Call me paranoid, but I won't set up a DMZ on my router. The videophone works fine with the required ports set. It's vague to make a point. I set up SprintVRS's IP on SpeedDial and it didn't work. Sorenson went through the trouble to block IPs, or range of IPs. They clearly show their...

I don't really care that Sorensen has a special button on the main screen for calling their VRS operator. What I don't like is their blocking of outgoing IPs entered manually or stored on SpeedDial. Especially when they post a call-back notice. We use Sprint Relay Online for outgoing...

[x] Educate them They obviously don't know what the hell they are doing... :nono: Steve

I voted no, meaning they will never understand. If your own family just doesn't get it, how do we expect the average person to figure it out. One really good book for hearing people, perfectly titled... http://www.deaflife.com/deaflifepress_books/hpo.html 3rd Edition is now in print...

Lip reading is not a language. Don't think of sign language as coded-English (such as SEE). Go take an American Sign Language class in your area. You will see it becomes second nature after some practice. You'll be happy you did. Steve

When you know your Iowa schedule, please use the Deaf Events and Meets forum. It won't get buried so quick. Steve & JessHercules

Got a videophone? Try using only that for a while - You're already paying for internet. Absence of telemarketers is very noticeable! The calls made through the VP-100 or DVC-1000 are very clear. Phone number's are overrated. Gotta have a voice plan? Get a cellphone for same price for...

Make a habit of changing smoke alarm batteries when you change you clocks for daylight savings time. Our CO detector plugs into an outlet. All six smoke flasher/alarms in our home are wired and synced together. Steve

Snoop-Dogg types GA on his SK too! :) ...and other words. Steve

I actually know an older Deaf woman in my community who did this. Her husband rushed her to the hospital and when the got her eye opened, it tore off her cataract!! :shock: The docter was shocked, but in good humor asked if she wanted to try that in the other eye! She laughingly refused...

I heard about the fantasitic roller coasters there! Unfortunately, we will not be able to go this year. Steve

I'd go on Deaf Day! Went to the Six Flags near Chicago about 4 or 5 years ago with a group of Deaf friends. Steve

The CSD folks set up the router they install with the DVC-1000. They do not use DMZ (firewall shutoff - all ports are left on - for one internal IP). The D-Link router has an I2Eye specific toggle to open specific ports to allow the data to pass through. This makes it really easy. I had a...

The SKII's online syncing is what drives me nuts about this product. Why would I upload all my Outlook info, just to download it again. And pay $10 for each SK in the household. My beloved Blackberry connects directly to my PC and syncs with Outlook. I don't hand off anything to my service...

The installer talked my wife into letting him change the router settings. I believe he did what they told him to do in some seminar or something. There's only one way to make a BigMac, huh. The router is not blocking outbound pings to sprintvrs.tv from my computer. Hmm, gonna try pinging the...

While it's nice that Fox News and MSNBC recognize the BlackBerry brandname, they both got it wrong. The obvious clue is the pictures. A Blackberry can not take pictures. http://money.cnn.com/2005/02/21/technology/personaltech/hilton_cellphone/index.htm?cnn=yes Also posted on the BB...

She shoulda got a Blackberry! - Steve http://news.zdnet.com/2100-1009_22-5584691.html Somebody posted all the pictures she took from her SK too. http://www.invizibletouch.com/paris-sidekick/ Work-safe Warning: Few topless photos of her.

Heh! Sorenson's rep came in, set the VP-100 to 192.168.0.125, then on my CSD provided D-Link router, they set the VP's addy to DMZ. I don't like anyone messing with my network, so after he left, I switched it back using the D-Link I2Eye's preset ports on an internal addy of my choice. I'm...

I was hoping for a new epic. I hated this flick. It was an "Look at me!, I'm Brad Pitt" movie. :thumbd: However, I did like the first kill in the very begining where he leaped at the huge guy and stabbed him downward between the neck the shoulder. Downhill after that. Steve
