By BitcoDavid It’s written in an ASL finger spelling font, that is available for free download, from Gallaudet via LifePrint.

By BitcoDavid I hope you all had a great New Years holiday. Since my days of wearing lampshades have gone the way of the pterodactyl, my last vice consists entirely of food. Like all Jews, to me the last day of the year means one thing and one thing only – Chinese! I’ll be running
