  • New Vague Language (VL) workshop dates scheduled

    I’m happy to say that a couple more of the people who read my article on Vague Language in the RID Views contacted me about coming out to their cities to present my vague language workshop. The two dates I recently added are September 24 in Virginia Beach, VA and October 15 in Milwaukee, WI.

    Other Vague Language workshop dates include August 12 in Monmouth, OR; August 20 in Honolulu, HI; October 1 in Yuma, AZ; and November 10, 2012 in Minneapolis / St. Paul.

    For all details, including times, locations, etc., see my calendar.

    If you would like me to present my Vague Language workshop or any of my interpreting workshops in your city, please contact me.

  • I think that our business with Netlix is…

    I think that our business with Netlix is about to end. What company would charge you 60% more just so they can expand into Mexico and South America? Netflix is who. I know when I’m being screwed and this will not be the company that does it to me!

  • Singing & Signing “Over the Rainbow” in 1995

    This was a song I worked on translating with a mentor in 1994, and I performed it as the finale to a one-man show I put on San Diego in 1995. I was only 28 then! If you can’t tell, I sang & signed this song simultaneously– a hard feat because what I was signing was not the same as what I was singing. I signed it as ASL as I could while singing English. Do you like it? Leave a comment to let me know what you think. Or, if you would sign it differently, post a video response. (By the way, looking back I can see that I took this song too slow, and my singing and signing were a bit over-the-top. Oh, well! 😉

  • Tribute to Grandma: Her singing & My signing

    My grandmother’s stage name was Linda Preston when she was younger, and she recorded this song under her stage name, so I can only guess she recorded it in the ’40s. When she was older, her screen name was Audrey Arent when she acted in TV commercials and as an extra in such movies as King Kong (1976), Turning Point, and Network. She was my maternal grandmother, and the second photo in the slideshow at the beginning is of her holding my mother when my mother was a newborn baby. You can also see Grandma with me when I was a little boy.

    This video is closed-captioned for the signing impaired. 😉

  • Re: Exactly what is ASL?? (my Happy 4th of July video)

    Thanks to YouTuber xkorijaidenx for emailing me about her video response to YouTuber soph1951’s vlog “What Exactly Is ASL?” Soph’s vlog was inspiring and liberating for me, and moved me to create this video response. I will leave it up to people who know American Sign Language to understand this video without captions or preface. It speaks for itself.
