All Things Wise And Wonderful
Lantana's Latitude I would like to reccomend the following website: www.paperbackswap.com I am one of those weird people who like to read while watching t.v.! I guess it is a survivor thing, since DH likes to watch Speed t.v. and that sort, so I always have a book handy to grab incase the program is really bad! Yes, we have more than one t.v. but we find that we prefer the [...]

Hartig: The French Connection
150 Years on Kendall Green: The Blog We've just finished the previous panel, and according to the schedule, we're supposed to have a break. But Brian Greenwald is on stage, and is making an announcement. Greenwald says that yet again, we're a bit behind schedule, so there's no break now– we're going straight to the next panel, and then we'll break. This next [...]

How about that?
Jaymie's Epiphany About 7,500 vibrating beepers were distributed to deaf residents of Israel to alert them of an Iraqi missile attack. There is a siren that blares and anyone in the Israel proximity would hear it and take refuge and attempt to avoid getting hit in the missile attacks. What about the deaf Israelis? The IDF Home Front Command implemented the distribution of the beepers. [...]

The supposed "iconicity" of ASL -- nope!
A Taste for Ideas Just thinking about this after poking around on deafpundit's blog and running into this comment from JPR.I personally see no problem with trying to "explain away" the supposed iconicity of ASL. So first off, what is iconicity? What does it mean to say that a language must be "arbitrary" in the symbols it uses?Okay. Now, there is nothing particularly canine [...]

Healthy discourse requires opposing views
Oh I See! Healthy discourse requires polarity to progress. Once we reached a compromise from both sides in discourse, we can learn views from both sides. (For example, the Gally protests would not have happen from negative views. It caused positive change). Sharing thoughts from my Theory of Personality class based on Gestalt psychology and a class exercise on polarities. Also [...]

Who said no-one in the UK isn't being active?
Grumpy Old Deafies Recently I've seen this in a few places: no-one in the UK is doing anything politically. Crap. What do you think a blog is? Why is your definition of activism so narrow? Sitting in the middle of a road is one way to demonstrate, going along to a meeting is another. Blogging about something, and actually having open conversations is another. For the record, [...]

The solution to the GallyNet insanity!
The Orange Deafie Blog Recent posts on GallyNet at their new host gives strong suggestion that they will be carrying the same scourge and childishness that deafvision.com permitted in their Deaf California News mailing list 4 years ago. Gallaudet stakeholders really need a safe discussion list to discuss issues surrounding higher deaf education and we have just the place for it. [link] [...]

A figuring out kind of life Mary Ruth talks about bumping into folks at parties who are sitting down elsewhere asking questions point blank that either require long answers or simply need to be diverted. Here's her idea so you can continue on to the bathroom. And yes, note the thumbs up.

Deaf rejecting deaf
ReunifyGally You spend a lifetime with hearing people, most of whom don't sign, or who don't sign well, or who might sign well but forget to sign when you need it the most. Some of them might be your own relatives. You love them, but you wish communication with them wasn't so hard ALL. THE. TIME. You are surrounded by lack of communication. You are drowning [...]

Strict Standards
Deaf Queer News South Dakotans sound off about Daphne Wright and the death penalty By Chuck Baldwin There was some surprise around Sioux Falls when a jury Wednesday night announced that Daphne Wright would spend the rest of her life in prison. She had tied a clear, plastic bag over Darlene VanderGiesen's head and then cut up the body with a chain saw after an attempt to burn [...]

Deaf Queer News The trial of Daphne Wright on charges of first-degree murder, kidnapping and felony murder was Judge Brad Zell's first capital case. In fact, it was the first capital case in Minnehaha County since the trial of Robert Leroy Anderson in 1999 - and that was a McCook County case that was transferred here, judge and all. Zell sat down with the Argus Leader the day [...]

BSL Bible Translation Project
Grumpy Old Deafies The British Sign Language Bible Translation Project now has its own website. I'm only going to focus on BSL as a language here. Irrespective of what your religious beliefs are (even if you have them), this is an important project in terms of raising the status of BSL. Whether the Bible is translated into a particular language has been used as one benchmark in [...]

It might explain to an international audience some of the politics that goes on deaf organisation wise. There's much more to it than what is stated in this blog post, but its a start.

Response to Kiss-Hand ASL's apology
My Weblog Hi David, You are a human being. I knew you meant it like "shuck" or "shoot" I was not offended by your sign but I felt warm by seeing your coming forth to apology for those who took it as profane. I´d do the same if that irritated them. Let us put this aside, look at the language as cultural/linguistic part. I can understand why Roger Kraft raised this question, [...]
