By BitcoDavid I worked for a company that made a computer assisted fleet dispatching system, utilizing a z-80 microprocessor and cassette-tape disk drives. I owned Boston’s first 4-bus, 24 input, live mixing console – a Biamp 1642. I drove for 2 different cab companies and dispatched for 2 more. I delivered pizzas for a mobbed-up

By BitcoDavid It occurs to me, that you might want to see the actual petition letter that we will be sending to the Florida officials asking for a pardon for Felix. I added links, for this post, and they will not be included in the official document. The original document was drafted by Heather Hardy

By BitcoDavid I was checking Felix’s petition when one name caught my eye. Pamela Bondi – Florida. In the notes section it read, “Dude. Hook me up on this, and he’s all yours. I’ll go down there and spring him myself.” Yup. Conservative Florida Attorney General and noted Republican, Pam Bondi, jumped into her cherry,

By BitcoDavid Jack and I took the trusty Ford Escort into the shop today, to get the brake lights fixed. The talk within the dingy concrete walls – of course – was all about the Trayvon Martin Case. Sadly, it wasn’t sympathetic. All over the country, yesterday and today, there have been protests ranging from

By BitcoDavid Named after the chalet in which it was drafted, Aktion T4 was officially adopted in Sept. of 1939. The law enabled the government of the 3rd Reich to commit euthanasia on those it deemed Lebensunwertes Leben – Life unworthy of life. The aged, the infirm, the birth-defected, the intellectually challenged and the Deaf.

By BitcoDavid AlterNet just posted a piece on certain states enacting laws against baggy pants. I’d have filed this story under humor if I was kidding – but I’m not. Cities around the country including Cocoa Beach, FL, Lynwood, IL, Boston, New York City and Shreveport, LA have enacted – or are in the process

By BitcoDavid Generally speaking, if it transfers energy through gears and pulleys, if it works by electrons coursing through wires, or if it involves bouncing binary digits off satellites – I’ve got it down. But Marsha Graham and I are working on ways to create virtual access to the ASL Meetup. What I would like

By Jack I know this has nothing to do with the Deaf, or the justice system, but I managed to talk BitcoDavid into giving me the mic, for just a few words. The 4th is tomorrow, and I’m asking dog owners and non alike, to take a moment to think about how we 4 legged

By BitcoDavid Texas – the state that’s turning execution into a pastime – publishes the last words of death row inmates. We got this story from an excellent piece in the Gray Lady. If you read it, pay particular attention to the comments section. We tend to forget that in America, most people view inmates
