First, watch this video - it's captioned and is only one minute long.It would be nice to have a handshape alphabet for our computers, eh? :)

Thanks to DeafRead's latest controversy, courtesy of SeekGeo, I've collected a couple of links debating this issue. My personal thoughts about ASL? I think it will vanish altogether, but not in my lifetime. Probably 100 years from now. The inexorable and relentless march of progress will continue to reduce numbers of deaf people, and there's only so much hearing people can carry the beauty, grace

I'm surprised that the following news haven't surfaced throughout DeafBlogLand. Might as well as comment on it, but first, here's the news: Minimally Invasive Cochlear Implant Surgery The implications of the article are profound. If the researchers are successful, it could very well mean that all future CI surgeries would be conducted on an outpatient basis, and activations occurring on the

For a fun lil' exercise for the armchair statistican in myself, I decided to see how many Deaf people lived in my state, using publically available resources. Sure, my methodology and numbers may be off, but it did struck me on how low our numbers truly are. Ready? Brace yourself...The total estimated Deaf population for the State of Florida is roughly at 7,180 people. Yes, that's not a misprint

Why use ASL Gloss?Obviously, videos are the best way to capture ASL narrative and record it for all posterity. However, I know that digital videos have a definite lifespan and such works may be lost forever. Here's a couple of examples;The video hosting provider could go out of business; (Yes, even Google Video/YouTube are not immune from market forces!) The hard disk drives containing the videos

Despite the fact I suggested a random blogroll for Deafread, I went ahead and put in a regular blogroll for this blog. As you may already infer, the blogroll only links to blogs produced by FSD alumni.It's very nice to know that there's more and more FSD'ers in DeafBlogLand! Who knows? Maybe if the blogroll gets too big, I'll actually have to use a random blogroll! A nice problem to have, indeed.

Last month, I have had the pleasure of meeting Joseph of the Deaf In the City (DITC) blog, here in South Florida, and had an impromptu, superfical, and ad hoc interview with him.

Added a mission statement of sorts; It's a 50-second captioned vlog and is in the footer. Now, I may have missed out on the header, but I'm pretty sure now that my footer is the first blog to have a vlog in there instead! ;)I particularly liked the sign I created for this blog; It's the 'Triumph' sign, starting at the eye level and spinning out upwards from that point.Also cleaned up some links.
