:bowdown: Some general thoughts about ASL... If it is to be offered in a high school setting, offer it as an elective. I can't see ASL being offered as a class in primary settings (i.e., elementary schools) because most states have standardized curriculums and testing in place, and adding in...

Just curious; At the Viable booth at the Pomona DeafNation Expo, were there demonstrations of the VPAD in action? i.e., consumers could call up their loved ones or hearing people using Viable VRS right at the booth?

*Opening a can of Diet Coke* *fizz* Ahhh, tastes great! :)

Really? They didn't require it when I applied back in the 1980's. About time, too.

Scott- Best of luck. Gallaudet should be a very good experience for you.

When you do move back to Miami-Dade and enroll your children into your community school, you should request an evaluation if your child has never had an IEP. If your child has had an IEP with MDCPS, then I guess an evaluation isn't necessary. At the IEP, you can ask for speech and itinerant...

I don't know if you have Avon in your area; but this is what I use: Alarm Clock with Vibration I love this vibrating clock. Pretty neat! Also, if you have a Blackberry, you can set it to vibrate to wake you up every morning. I used my Blackberry for this purpose, until I got the Avon clock.

I have a pretty good deal of experience and understanding of C; but haven't programmed in it for a long time. One favorite trick is to use the Char variable as a Byte value. I'm learning C# now on my own initiative and time. It's been difficult, though. There's a lot of new programming...

DeafDC is following up on Snap!VRS and Ojo videophones at: Snap!VRS Letter

Anyone know a little bit more about this link? Wither Ojo?

I do watch some ASL vlogs, but gotta admit that some commentators run too long. :( ASL vlogs are not like podcasts; a hearing person can listen to a podcast and 'multitask', i.e., working on the computer, cleaning dishes, etc. With ASL vlogs, I've gotta watch it, and am judicious of my time now...

The table tag was originally designed for columnar data. That web designers are using it to layout their pages truly smacks of fitting a round peg into a square hole! :) I have worked with CSS code before, but nothing really complex. I prefer to use existing layouts and tweak a little here...

Would you rather that they be placed in a Varying Exceptionalities (VE) classrooms? (For those who don't know, they're self-contained classrooms populated by students having the same disability, i.e., a Deaf classroom. And as you can infer from my tone, I'm admittedly not much of a fan of VE...

Want a Q&D method in finding out how much a new car loses its value once it is 'driven off the lot'? Look at the lease downpayment requirements; essentially, it's to cover the 'hidden' depreciation charge the car suffers once 'bought'. Of the lease terms I've been looking at for new cars, most...

Just installed Ubuntu Server Edition v7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) onto my laptop. It was a cinch to install, and went smoothly w/o any problems. If you're curious, you can check this page out; it pretty much mirrors what I went through in setting up a LAMP server onto my laptop. Ubuntu Linux LAMP...

Might as well as give this topic a wee :slap: bump! :) Here's another one; You know about that teleportation thingie you see in Star Trek movies, right? Where you instantaneously pop up anywhere you wanted to go? For starters, I would love to have this kind of transportation! I would be...

I'll admit it; I'm a sucker for popular entertainment featuring time travel. I loved Journeyman, and hated to see it end. I watched the Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles last night, and it did feature time travel! Whoo. I'll be watching that show... It doesn't hurt to see some eye candy...

Whoo! Another trip down AllDeaf.com memory lane... She Blinded Me With Science! Time Machine Thread ;)
