My picture
I’m Anthony Arnold from
Grand Forks North Dakota.
I have been employed with the
Prentke Romich Company
right out of my town house for the past 8 years. I was primarily a remote
troubleshooter in the technical service department.
I was responsible for providing after hours service, which I enjoyed
and was quite successful at. Our customers enjoyed being helped by me, some
would wait for when they knew I was working, which said a lot about the
quality of support I offered.
In recent years, thanks to newer technology becoming available to put into communication devices, the research and development department at PRC has become busy trying to keep up on things. They have been producing a new device more often, and testing became impossible to do effectively at that rate, so they asked me to move up to research and development to help do more of the testing.
At PRC, I'm also a
moderator for their
Speak Share bulletin board system. I also
operate the AAC-List, a listserv for augmentative and alternative
communicators, family members, university students and current professionals
working with augmentative and alternative communication, assistive
technology, education and therapy. Away from the AAC-List, I participate in
discussions on
ACOLUG,
which is moderated by the
Disability Institute at
Temple
University.
Away from my interest in communication devices/assistive technology, I enjoy
lifting weights and riding the
NuStep
at
Select Therapy. I go to work out
every Monday, Wednesday and Friday with a personal trainer, something I have
benefited from both physically and emotionally.
Another form of entertainment is listening to talk shows on the Internet.
I usually listen to
Ed Schultz News & Views in the morning, and then
Ed Schultz and
Joel
Heitkamp in the afternoon, and then
Mike
Malloy in the evening. For a more relaxed listening experience, I
like logging on to
Rhapsody,
106.7
KBPI and
102.7 WEBN.
I enjoy reading various
newspapers online, and I usually can be found browsing on
Google
News. I also enjoy surfing through audio and video clips on
You Tube, and playing pool on
QQ Games.
