I just checked out their website and it looks to me like they’re starting up sort of a “Deaf MTV” site where songs are reinterpreted with captions, ASL and so forth. If this sticks around and expands, this might be the best place for me to discover new music.
I’m definitely keeping an eye on […]

Definite food for thought here. What struck me about this video was yet another way in which people equate spoken language with intelligence.

Wow…it works (the scanner you can purchase at Library Thing). And I’ve got linux, so that’s great news, it seems to be bullet proof.
I am SO in trouble Just wait ’till I get home tonight…

UpdateThe public defender for Wright is at tsmith@minnehahacounty.org.
Her lawyers are preparing a defense for her that basically says that she’s too stupid, on account of being deaf, to be properly tried for anything:
Court papers filed by Daphne Wright’s lawyers say that people who’ve been deaf since early childhood have severely limited vocabularies and a hard […]

So I’m going through more of the vlog entries I can find for various different clips I can look through. I’ve also actually made one myself (although it’s very basic) but I notice that there are very few female vloggers. I’ve seen individual posts done, but are there regular ones a la Joey […]

Over at Mike Schmidt’s Oh I See blog, he’s got a great vlog called From Solitaire to Poker. Go take a look if you haven’t already. I very much enjoyed watching it and picked up a couple of new words as well!
