Now You Can Listen To The Radio!

By Adam Stone November 12, 2007

Alas, deaf people! How tragic our collective disability is! We are lacking in hearing, and because of this, the world of radio is a mysterious realm. FM 98.1 has as much meaning to us as coriander does to a person who cannot taste. How many of you know about NPR–National Public Radio? According to my dad,…

By Adam Stone September 18, 2007

Relay-Interruptus (Or, I Just Want a Damn Pizza!)

By Bobby Cox January 11, 2007

Ok. I am sufficiently fed up enough with relay services to write Yet Another Deaf Rant About the Relay. Let me paint a picture for you. MacWorld, San Francisco (a conference I’m currently attending). Hunger. Dinner time. The buzzing city all around me. Ah! Round Table Pizza (The Last Honest Pizza)– a delectable treat for…
