  • How to upload vertical video taken with a mobile phone

    This is a brief video I uploaded to see if a movie rotated in QuickTime 7 Pro can appear on YouTube in vertical format. I took this video with my Nexus One upright (vertically) at the Sea Life Aquarium in Tempe at the Arizona Mills shopping mall. Looks like it worked! How to do this? Quoted from QuickTime 7 Pro help:

    To resize or rotate a QuickTime movie:
    In QuickTime Player 7, choose Window > Show Movie Properties.
    In the Properties window, select a video track and click Visual Settings.
    To resize the movie, type new numbers in the Current Size fields.
    To keep the same height-to-width proportions, select Preserve Aspect Ratio.
    To rotate the movie, click one of the rotate buttons.

  • ASL Policy and Deaf Interpreters at RID Conference

    Abstract

    Reflections on my recent experience at the RID Region V conference, the benefits of the policy of using ASL at all times during the conference (except in a few of the workshops that were interpreted), and the great contribution of deaf interpreters to the field. I also discuss my experience as a workshop presenter and my thoughts on how to make my discussions of interpreting less hearing-interpreter-centric, and more inclusive of all interpreters, especially Deaf interpreters.

  • Andy’s Red, White, and Blue Parfait

    How could I be with this guy for seven years and not have had “his” red white & blue parfait? Last time he said “I think I’ll make ‘my’ such-and-such” was about something else he made in this 13×9 Pyrex dish– “My breakfast casserole” —after we had been together for six years! You got any other tricks up your sleeve, honey? 😉

  • Froyo camcorder Blair Witch Project spoof

    I got Froyo (Android 2.2) on my Nexus One yesterday and found out that the camcorder could now record video with the LED flash on constantly. My first thought was to do a Blair Witch Project spoof. Me so silly. By the way, I forgot I had my night guard in. Ha!

  • Digital zoom test with Froyo camera app

    I finally got the Froyo (Android 2.2) update pushed to my Nexus One today, and I noticed digital zoom as an option in the new Camera app. I ran an experiment by placing this ad down on the counter, and standing in the same place taking photos at 2x, 1.5x, and 1x digital zoom.
