(10 comments)
The current state of affairs makes me think of possible similarities between events after the Great Depression and our national attempts at revitalizing a crippled economy. I came across an old paper that caught my eye while cleaning out my stuff at home in Florida over the turkey break. I've ...[keep reading]
 Hulu Now Has Closed-Captioning Search Filter by Adam Stone
(12 comments)
It's been a long slog, but our usual deaf barriers for watching internet video are crumbling. Hulu.com today added a filter to its search engine to return only closed-captioned videos. I've been catching up on new episodes of The Simpsons for weeks now, and their captioning is wonderful.

Hearing aids can be a great asset for me, except when the “hearing” part doesn’t work anymore. Then they are of no “aid” at all. One time, my hearing aid started malfunctioning. During this particular period, work was extremely busy so I couldn’t take time off to go get the ...[keep reading]
