News: Wheelies hits the big time
Wheelies Video on MSNBC Newsweek
Wheelies, my disability themed nightclub has reached the big time as it appears in this week’s Newsweek cover feature in Secondlife. More impressive is the link above and video below. I am smiling 
The Newsweek video is great, a well balance view of Wheelies which is amazing.

The article in Newsweek was great, I only wish it had been in the American version. The video, however, was even better. My only disappointment was that they didn’t have you talking. The media still doesn’t understand how important hearing you express yourself is, especially since you have a speech impediment. Seeing someone interview you and responding appropriately is one way for people to learn how to respond to people with speech impediments. It would be a great educational opportunity.

Hey Simon,
Big fan of yours here, have been following your work for a while, great stuff, keep up the good work!
Wanted to let you know though that your blog is not displaying properly (I’m using FireFox) and unless I am mistaken, the issue is the size of the video you have embedded above (it is too wide for the template). So you either need to shrink the embed size or take it out altogether, then the rest of the blog should display correctly.
I’ve been using Wordpress for years and have done this to my blog(s) many times. So you are in good company!
Take care,
