Pardon the mess . I am still tweaking the whole blogsite!

Updated (4:15 PM):  Comments cannot be submitted for some reasons.  I will need to figure out what went wrong.  Bear with me! Please come back and leave your comment or opinion later.  I do value your input.  Thanks.

Updated II (5:30 PM)  The problem is solved!  Still fine-tuning some certain areas especially the IE issues.  The design looks so beautiful on Mac & Firefox, not PC & Explorer! So typical of PC & IE!  

This is the second attempt — discussing my interpretation of a Zen story, "Just Go to Sleep"  and its implication for "Don't Cling" and ASL.  Hope it works this time! :)

Teri discusses four issues — killing four birds with one stone!  A follow up of "Don't Cling". A couple of responses; to Iammine and Drolz. A brag on her CSD, Riverside students' vlogs. Enjoy!

An anniversary post  (Oct. 13th 2006). . .

It shows the gathering of several deaf women playing the Tripoley game on Black Friday (last year) and it was cut short after finding out about the arrests being made at Gallaudet.  It is a priceless document  — showing several deaf women getting together and giving FSSA their support.

Previous Post:

"As the night folded around us, the players, we felt for the protests being arrested, our minds slipping away from the game, toward the horrors of a future at Gallaudet. Even we are far, far away, we, The Trippers of SoCal are with you . . ."

Question: Where were you on that fateful day?

Note: Tripping Over?  Well, it is a word play — we call ourselves as Trippers. Gotcha?

Teri expresses her thought based on  a Zen story, "Egotism" and how she compares it to the deaf culture's unpopular mean, Crab Theory.

The video clip discusses a response to Joey's video clip, "Looking At the Bigger Picture", a Zen story, "Successor", and its interpretation — how does it apply to the deaf people.

Whew! It is almost midnight now and I do not feel well — having headaches all the day and night long. Me go off to bed. Good nite.

Links:

Wayne Betts Jr. Film, "Blue Sheet" 

Aidan Mack Film, "Deja Vu"

Gary Brooks, "Why Deaf Films Failed" 

Update: This video clip is not intended to put Aidan or any deaf filmmakers down. I just want to share my perspective after watching both films by Aidan & Wayne, and discuss the copyright issue — how is it compared to a Zen story, "Working Hard".  I certainly hope this conceptual story will help people understand the issue and how I feel what's going on in the deaf vlogland. Hope it helps deaf filmamkers realize that they need to work harder and be different!

*It is okay to copy a concept as long as you give due credits*

Deafridge Tom's video clip, "Solve Mystery" is a perfect example of using the same concept of Wayne's film, yet the whole storyline is about totally different.  It is with a twist.  Not to mention, Tom includes the titles and filmmakers' names showing where and who he got the idea from on his post. Bravo, Tom & Dustin!
 

Note: I decided to remove the video presentation, "Copyright". I realized it is a class assignment that my professor asked to use as an example for this and next several sessions and the data rate were already affected.
