Impulsive generation
Oh I See! Do we "click click click" on our mouse or Enter button and expect people in the real physical world to function immediately the same way we expect from our computers or communication device?

It's also about the follow through, how people with disabilities are treated. I am amazed at what some people think they can get away with. Let me give you an example.... Jean [...]

Understanding Deaf Culture: in search of Deafhood
The deaf boy in the world I decided to read Understanding Deaf Culture: In search of Deafhood by Paddy Ladd. I got that book about 5-6 months ago at Deaf Studies at Utah Valley University. I got it autographed by Paddy Ladd himself. It has been sitting on my shelf for few months because I basically have no motivation to read it in the first place. But after reading or viewing various discussio...
