Here’s another neat photo I found on Flickr, taken by a concertgoer at Hyde Park for Blur’s last UK concert on July 3, 2009. It’s neat to see it in the upper left corner standing out so strong and bright!

My Photos at Blur Concert in Hyde Park
I got a couple of comments on my original greyhound photo from concert-goers who let me know how my photo had been blown up huge for Blur’s Hyde Park concert on July 3rd. I did a bit of Googling and found this person’s photo of the concert stage, where you can see my greyhound image looming large on both sides of the stage. How exciting!

My First Speak & Spell Workshop
Thanks to Joy Marks at the Desert Valleys Regional Cooperative for taking this photo and for providing the logistical support and classroom, and thanks to Joy and ACDHH for providing the promotional materials and CEU sponsorship. Thanks also to the 15 people who attended. We all had a good time and I do believed we all learned a lot- including me as I did my research in developing the workshop!
My workshop title was Speak & Spell: How to Pronounce & Spell Foreign Names & Words, and it involved a comparative survey of the phonologies (sound systems) and orthologies (spelling conventions) of a variety of the world’s languages. I mixed lecture with interactive exercises that encouraged participants to spell, pronounce, talk about and explore international names and words. Our focus in this workshop was the mastery of foreign spelling and pronunciation in our ASL-to-English and English-to-ASL interpreting.
I’m happy to say my workshop was a success! I’m now going to spend the next two months developing my next workshop, “Just What They Said: Retaining Ambiguity When Interpreting Vague Language” on Saturday, September 19 from noon to 5:30 PM (location TBA).
