David Armand illustrates in "Where I Lay My Hat" what sign language and English via lyrics/music can accomplish in a visual way with a comedic twist. This is the influence I've envisioned that sign language can have on the hearing world, that it can add so much more import to what hearing people already hear. Not to mention that d/Deaf people "get it" that much quicker. :) His performances...

On my trawl through the week's schedule looking for things to record, I found a lone episode of Kojak on ITV in the middle of the night/very early morning depending on your perspective. I watched it last night and it transpired it was one of those shows with a person doing sign-language in the corner of the screen (or the Little Man as my niece used to call this service). At first I wondered if it...

Dealing with some technology is challenging enough for the hearing-impaired without scammers taking advantage of federal dollars meant to help them. That's exactly what has happened with the Federal Communications Commission's Video Relay Service (VRS), however, and 26 people were arrested Thursday for scheming to steal "tens of millions of dollars" from the program. VRS was first launched...

"Where Are Your Keys?" is an open source, high-speed language game that uses sign language as a "bridge" to learn any spoken language. The sign language supposedly keeps you from thinking in your native language while allowing other players in the game to know what you are thinking. The game, according to its creator Evan Gardner, is based partially on another language teaching...

I am thankful for a Savior and for songs. I am thankful for sign language so the Cherub has some means of communication. I am thankful for the gift of speech, and also for the gift of silence. And I am thankful for the gift of sound and for friends who share links like this one . It's so amazing I don't want to give anything away by sharing even an excerpt. It is both beautiful, and horrible. Deeply...

Oxford University Press has chosen unfriend as its word of the year for 2009. To unfriend is "To remove someone as a ‘friend’ on a social networking site such as Facebook." Christine Lindberg explains that unfriend assumes a verb sense of “friend” that is really not used (at least not since maybe the 17th century!) Altho a search for the verb forms, friended and friending...

What’s this guy thinking? Does he know what I know? Most of us develop the ability to make inferences about what other people might be thinking, the hallmark of “theory of mind,” at age four. Scientists have long known that the acquisition of language plays a role in this process, but so far it had been unclear whether social experience could substitute for it. A new study suggests...

My disability means that I need help for almost all physical activity. So, to enable me to live an independent life in my own home, I need a live-in personal assistant.

Looking back over my notes from last nights show, it's funny to see I obviously had some prejudgements regarding Insane in the Brain , a 'street dance version of One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest ' by Bounce . The show opens with a stage full of dancers dressed in incredibly baggy grey tracksuits wearing white masks. It soon becomes apparent that they also have masks on the back of their heads, as they...

Have I mentioned that I'm getting a bit hard of hearing since I've been helping in music lessons? Or it could just be that I've realised it. I've always been quite careful of my hearing and don't tend to go to loud concerts and the like very much and I live in a relatively quiet place, but I suppose that life takes its toll. The Sage has pretty good hearing however, if he uses it. I went to a meeting...
