-- a deaf involvement in other New England Pats controversy
New England Patriots is in the Super Bowl but the team cannot
escape controversy. The latest one is the play clock behaving
funny in the 3rd quarter of the game with the Colts. The Pats
had the ball with 6:11 remaining, and with .05 seconds
remaining on the play clock. Suddenly with 6:10 remaining,
the play clock, which should have shown .04 seconds remaining,
suddenly shot up to 25 seconds! Well, what about it? The
fan who shot the video of this funny clock is a deaf person. He
had the video posted on his facebook, and already, probably
over 1,000,000 hits!
-- most popular site in DC agrees to be accessible
The National Museum of Crime and Punishment, located in
Washington, DC, will now be accessible to the deaf,
under agreement with the Justice Department. How popular
is this museum? People visiting DC have rated this museum
as a must "visit" site along with the White House and
other sites.
-- a popular person captions all of his videos
Who is Tyler Oakley? He is well known among youtube
followers for his comments on many issues - healthcare,
education, youth peer pressure, humor, etc. One of his
friends is Michelle Obama. He made an important
announcement - that all of his youtube videos are to be
captioned - captioned professionally, not from
these freebie captioning software (that leads to
so many errors). Many of us have our own favorite
web sites - and many, many of these videos are NOT
captioned!
