Hulu: Search for Videos Using Captions
I wrote on Oct. 6 that captions benefits everyone, because it provides access to reading. Now there’s another immense benefit: Hulu.com has a new feature which allows searching by captions. What this means is if the title of a movie or show is forgotten, you can search for it by quotes you may remember in [...]
DeafRead ain’t dead, take two
I’m not repeating this to rub it in – a earlier post, “DeafRead is not and never was dead“, didn’t appear to convince certain persons. How’s this for additional proof?
DeafRead Top Ten – November 26, 2009
This time it’s a screenshot so the evidence is forever. Anyway, the meat of this post, as described in “DeafRead [...]
I reserve the right…
y3 is my personal blog, therefore I reserve the right to choose which comments are approved. Comments that are not relevant, off-topic, or off the point are not likely to be published. There are many issues to discuss in the deaf community, so it’s incredibly easy for things to go off on a tangent.
If you [...]
FCC: No prison for 26 charged defendants?
I’ve been in middle of a cross-country move, and with Thanksgiving dinner being prepared, I’ve slowed down. Being busy, the headlines of the 26 people being arrested did not escape my attention. Of course it did not; it’s probably the biggest news in the deaf community since the Gallaudet protests of 2006. It certainly ranks [...]
Impact of Online Videos on Two Cognitive Biases
This YouTube video was originally published on YouTube/DeafVIDEO.TV on September 29. I’m re-publishing it on my blog because the two cognitive biases are also affected by blogs, IMO. Watch the video and share your thoughts!
Ella come back!
Ella, I strongly urge you to return to your post as CAD secretary. First, you walkout of DeafVIDEO.TV, and you’re now abandoning your elected position at CAD. You were nominated and elected by people who believed in you. You’ve been a long-time CAD board member. I admire your passion for Deafhood Foundation, but what are [...]
The First Jump
If you haven’t yet, please first read Did I Lose or Win? to understand the title.
My wife Debby just accepted a position at the NAD as an attorney. So we’re moving east. She said to me it’s such a big move. I replied that it wasn’t as much of a big move as when we [...]
Did I Lose or Win?
Last week at the Purple Trailblazers Gala, there were 1000+ people in audience, plus more watching via DeafNation’s webcast. Sitting in the audience were national leaders, such as Nancy Bloch, Alan Hurwitz, Ron Stern, Roz Rosen, and I’ll go as far as saying one of the trailblazers is a national leader: Dr. MJ Bienvenu. I [...]
Language as key
When my mother learned my older sister was deaf, she turned to a deaf distant cousin and asked what she should do to best educate her daughter. The deaf cousin, Michael Cashman, said “Look at me. I’m doing fine. What do I use?”. My mother answered, “ASL.” It was from his response that my parents [...]
