Rob interviewed by BBC Access 2.0 blog
Grumpy Old Deafies Rob got interviewed over on the BBC's Access 2.0. Its good to get some coverage, and I have to congratulate the BBC for showing initiative here. Question: why does the BBC have to call us hearing impaired, especially when Rob has used 'Deaf' throughout his interview answers? Note to Rob: you've been vlogging since June 2004.

For RidorLive - re: Paris Hilton .. It is NOT Deaf related...
Here I am ... It is not Deaf related but ..... I don't feel sorry for Paris who is in prison because she violates the probation. Paris must be treated the same as many of us. Paris can survive there -- Psych and Medication services are there for her. Think of Deaf and Hard of Hearing inmates with a lack of communication. It is unfortunate. I don't feel bad for them but the lack [...]

The question was in regard to whether the fingers should be pointing sideways or forward when signing the letters G, H, P, and Q. He says the fingers should be pointing forward. This little exchange as well as [...]

Karen Stephen Hopson, over at Adversity University, has tagged me for a post on the Secrets of Overcoming Adversity.

Differences Between Deaf and deaf.
The Talkie Since Ben Vess suggested I do it, here it is. When I first became involved in learning about people who were deaf, I had no idea what made people Deaf. I was, of course, too proud to ask Ben, so I read around until I figured it out.

Der Sankt Speaks... Earlier this morning I was having a conversation with a cute boy about Gallaudet and Deaf culture in general and I came to a realization–Jane had it wrong, it isn't that she wasn't "Deaf enough," but I wouldn't be too hasty to say that her fluency in American Sign Language wasn't a factor. Now, this seems like a taboo subject [...]
