ASL Poems and Songs

ASL Poems and Songs:

Poetry in motion: Here are the words Francis Scott Key penned in 1814, the words we all know so well, performed in American Sign Language. Beautiful.



Vibe's Space Gate 38,800-watt bass tunnel

Vibe's Space Gate 38,800-watt bass tunnel: "



Staring into the negative space of the Vibe Space Gate, your sad, pathetic little human life flashes before your eyes. What will happen when you walk into the arch of 36 Space II subs on 16 amps? Will it suck all of the oxygen out of the room? Will your heart realign beats to match the thump of the track? Will your skin melt off? Most importantly, will this finally be enough bass to make our 2 Live Crew remasters sound the way they were truly intended? We just don't know, but something tells us stepping through it will take you StarGate-like into a new universe of hearing loss -- ready?

Fair aims to make deaf community visible

Fair aims to make deaf community visible

But Leff wasn’t part of a club campaigning outside the Memorial Union Tuesday - she was trying to raise awareness for deaf people.

Leff helped coordinate the first ASU American Sign Language Festival at the MU to help raise deaf awareness at ASU. The festival ends today.

“My goal is to educate the campus community,” Leff, an ASL lecturer at ASU, said through an interpreter. “I want to make them aware of the deaf community.”

Students can learn about the deaf community by visiting the festival’s various booths dedicated to famous deaf people, history and advances in technology, Leff added.

“Deaf people are alive and are in the campus community,” she said. “They can do anything that anyone else can.”

While those passing by caught a glimpse of the deaf community’s heritage Tuesday, those who stopped to check out the festival could sit in a nine-minute express class teaching basic sign language, she …

Driving While Texting May Be Illegal in Oregon, Washington

Crackberry addicts may have to deal with Johnny Law if they're caught texting while in the driver's seat if lawmakers in Oregon and Washington get their way.

The Wall Street Journal published a story Wednesday about state legislators writing laws to define a new driving offense, DWT or "Driving While Texting." It appears that lawmakers have been spurred into action by the increasing number of accidents that have occurred where electronic and wireless devices were being used by drivers.

Several states already have laws on the books about the use of cell phones while driving, but I wonder if this latest move to ban texting might be overkill. I mean, I'm sure most people would agree that text messaging or using a Blackberry while driving is not a good idea. But do we really need a law to spell that out? I know for a fact that cell phones and BlackBerries are not the only things that distract people when they're driving.

What about a screaming baby in the backseat? I've seen lots of people on the road hike themselves over the driver's seat of their car, completely turning their entire bodies away from the road, to reach on the floor for a lost binky to pacify a screaming toddler. And I don't see anybody banning babies from cars.

If you think about it, just about anything can be a distraction and potentially cause an accident. When I was 16-years-old, literally a week after I got my driver's license, I crashed into a telephone pole, because I was tuning the car radio. I've never heard of legislators trying to ban radios from cars. In fact, you can't buy a car today without a radio, CD player, and a dashboard as complicated as the control panel of a 747. (Luckily, I live in Manhattan and don't have to get behind the wheel very often.)

And then there are the personal navigator GPS systems from companies like TomTom, which are specifically made for cars. You can't tell me that people looking at one of those navigator maps or typing in a destination address for directions haven't gotten into accidents.

Maybe the answer isn't more legislation, but simply more common sense.
