vlog 0007: label me this. label me that. and macbook woes.

A vlog about trouble with using Sorenson IPRelay service to call AppleCare. The call resulted in damaging my Macbook and was without a computer for 3 days. Thanks, Sorenson and AppleCare!

UPDATED! An added note about an earlier post a few weeks ago, I am proud to be Deaf and DUMB! So I added the logo on my blog/vlog.



POSTED 5/3/07: With the past hot issue about being pre- or post-lingually Deaf, badges have sprouted across the Deaf blogosphere. I hesitiated putting one up because I like to be unique. So, I got the template from Banjo and made myself a new one:

What do you think of that? I am proud to be Deaf & DUMB!

Of course, some of you are gonna get pissed off. But, wait!! There's more. An explanation via vlog tomorrow EVENTUALLY! ;)

vlog 0006: introducing markie lee.

6 minutes and 33 seconds
I know I went over the suggested standard limit in vlogging minutes, but I felt this is an important person to recognize and appreciate his sweet spirit. I feel so honored and privileged to know this young man, Markie Lee, from Phoenix, Arizona. His life story is very inspiring!! He is also a budding artist with a lot of experience in various mediums. I would like to present you his latest work in 3D (and it's in ASL!).

It is WORTH checking out! Here's Markie and his "Deaf Angel's Way" video!

9 minutes and 26 seconds

vlog 0005: congrats in order.

Congrats to several bloggers and vloggers for their mention in this weekend's issue of The Wall Street Journal!

Hilary is graduating tonight from high school! I'm proud of her! :)



It's too bad her high school had limited tickets, so I wasn't able to go

see her graduation ceremony. I told her father not to forget the camera

because I wanna see what she look like in cap, gown, diploma and

flowers!



Congrats, Hilary! Xoxo!

at a baby shower.

at a baby shower. Originally uploaded by Deaf258.

That's me at Hedor's baby shower. It's my first time to attend a Deaf baby shower. I wonder if it is different than hearing baby showers.

Are the games different, the topics discussed, timing of the party varies, just for women or could men come?

I noticed men are also invited to Deaf baby showers, but never heard of men going to hearing baby showers. This is something that has been on my mind all week. I wonder if there are any ladies, Deaf or hearing, who could elaborate more on their baby shower experiences.

On a side note, DAMN YOU RIDOR! I was counting on having a good time with you today at your sister's baby shower! :-P Next time, beeotch.

a response to Mary Ruth's disclaimers vlog.

This video is a response to Mary Ruth's vlog topic about Are vLoggers’ Disclaimers Neccessary?

vlog 0002: anonymous bunnies.

I know I was supposed to talk about the topic about what is a "friend," but it has been taking some time to get my thoughts out. It's a sensitive issue.

Anyhow, you can still get another topic today about anonymous commentors! I know it is kinda overdue. I made this response to David Eberwein's vlog and other vloggers/bloggers discussion about anonymous commentors. I also explained a bit that I do not allow anonymous comments on my blog.

vlog 0001: why 258? what is revver.com?

vlog 0000: popping my vlog cherry.

Pardon me since this vlog is over 10 minutes long! Not too bad for a starting vlog. Hopefully, I'll get the hang of it and make better, clear and faster vlogs for easier loading.

Enjoy!
