Ordering at a restaurant using your table's Surface
Proud Geek Imagine ordering food at a restaurant, or drinks at a bar, by putting your hands on the table and making your selections. No more asking the waiter for a paper and pen, or pointing at menu items and then negating the "onion" listing, or speaking your choices and hoping the waiter understood enough to bring back the right dishes. Microsoft has announced [...]

Grabbing It
Adam Stone I leave Sri Lanka on 24 June. It's hard to describe the feelings I have about this–but the children are quite upfront about it. “Sad,” they sign. I keep responding the same way: “Not now. Forget about 24 June. Don't think about that just yet.” It doesn't quite validate their feelings, but it keeps the [...]

Todays Deaf Leaders
The Talkie So I see lots of 'Prominent' people here in the world of blogging. Those whose opinions are exceedingly respected and whose posts are taken for majority view. But who are the real front people? Who are the ones that if you were electing a Deaf President and congress you would want to see somewhere in the list. What makes these people stand out?

Sign Language Class Preparations
You Have to Be Deaf This coming Sunday I teach my first Sign Language class. Now keep in mind as you read this post that I do not teach classes. I taught a Relief Society class many years ago for a few weeks, and once I tried to teach the Sunbeams (5 year olds). That lasted three weeks and then I was released from the calling after allowing the kids to run around in the church halls [...]

Do the majority of Deaf people still belong to Deaf Clubs? Do you just gossip with your friends? The reason I ask is that it seems so many of you know each other, or at least OF each other. I [...]

Sign language in advertising
Grumpy Old Deafies Earlier I blogged about the use of BSL in marketing. However, this was intended for a Deaf audience. Here's an interesting one, obviously aimed at the general population but uses sign language and importantly humour: Perhaps it should be an advert for sign language classes too!
