So let me summarize the 2010 NAD conference the best I can! It’s really also the story of my trip home from Japan. Actually, let me start by saying that before I left, I had a pretty relaxed week; most of the time was spent creating ASL materials like a video with numbers and another [...]

Passport Hijinks
My last post, about the phone rental, was made last Wednesday night. On Thursday morning, I placed the rental reservation, and the confirmation email said I needed to send a copy of my passport as required by Japanese law. So I went to get it out and take it to school for scanning, and…it wasn’t [...]
HIowa!
So at last it can be told! I spent the weekend in Iowa! I couldn’t say anything before, because it was a surprise for gretchen_marie, concocted by at_the_stars. I had posted on gretchen_marie‘s Facebook invitation and said I couldn’t afford the flights, and at_the_stars contacted me privately and said “hey…can I help you come out [...]
Blogging from the Air
I am posting this from my netbook at 30,000 feet. Not just typing it, posting it. Delta offers Gogo Inflight Internet, and there’s a code on the welcome page for first-time users to get a free pass. I assume it places a cookie when you get it, so I will delete that and see if [...]
Travel Together Or Not?
Somebody left an old issue of InTouch magazine at work, so I was flipping through it. There’s a short piece on the Air France 447 tragedy, the plane that disappeared off the coast of Brazil in June. The Schnabl family of Sweden is highlighted, with the following story: Swedish nationals Fernando and Christine Badre Schnabl, [...]
Dolphin Swim
Woke up at 8:00 and did not want to get out of bed. I managed to get up because I wanted to get to Sea Life Park early for my Dolphin Royal Swim at 11:00. The bus ride was an hour through some random neighborhoods, and I did get there way too early. I sat [...]
More Play, More Work
I woke up at 8:00 this morning and decided to run out and go geocaching. I knew there were two in Ala Moana Beach Park, and I suspected a third, so I figured I’d go there. I took the bus and as I got off, I realized I had forgotten to bring a pen to [...]
Wandering Honolulu
I decided to take today off from homework and wander around. I didn’t really have anything specific planned, so I figured I’d go to the Waikiki Aquarium. I waited and waited for a bus, but nothing ever showed up so I walked instead. The Aquarium admission was $6 with my student ID, and that included [...]
Half Work, Half Play
This morning I was up at 7am for no reason. Oh well. :A: was up too, but she had to leave for work about 8am anyway. When she left, I went downstairs too and walked across the street to the beach. I walked around for a few minutes, and then my phone rang – :A: [...]
