The two blogs I want to mention today are very different. One is about women supporting green consumer and business choices. The other is about technology and politics for the deaf.
In Women We Trust deals with women's power to choose products and services and how that can change the world. The blog's owner, Mary Hunt, has written a book also called In Women We Trust with tips for making businesses friendly and helpful. Recent posts in the blog talk about topics as diverse as using Ask Patty to help in car buying decisions, organic raisin bran, and the business model of Big Green Purse.
The deaf tech blog is Stone Deaf Pilots. This blog is by Kathryn Hill. It covers deaf technology, assistive technology, and tech-related accessibility issues faced by the deaf and hard of hearing. It's a fairly recent addition to the blogosphere, but has gained a substantial audience with posts about everything from captionioning, movies, podcasting, text messaging, and video from the perspective of tech needs of the deaf and otherwise disabled. One thread I found particularly interesting was about the unpreparedness of 911 call centers to handle calls from disabled people. Although I'm not deaf, I'm certainly interested in making sure the Internet is accessible to everyone. I find this blog very helpful.
