As Christmas Eve is around today, I wish you the Merry Christmas, and I made the short project gallery to select most of my favorite pictures by Flickr users titled, Sign Language Wonders. This is the eye-candy treat for your Christmas to bring the best merry of all.

Western Pennsylvania Health Information for Deaf, Deafblind and Hard-of-Hearing website launched in evening of May 27, 2009.
The website address is: www.healthbridges.info.
The description:
A newly developed website seeking to provide reliable health care information to people who are Deaf, Deafblind and hard-of-hearing, in a format that is accessible to all. In addition, it is our desire to encourage effective communication between healthcare providers and patients by educating both about individual perspectives, rights, and obligations in the healthcare setting.
All of you know who I am writing in very blog here, I developed healthbridges.info site with a team of our deaf task force in Pittsburgh. The site is 100% powered by WordPress, web publishing platform, to ease my development work in my spare time.
I learned something new in my web environment which I never thought of: Deafblind. My priority goal is to have this website is 100% accessibility. I used the free evaluation web tool, WAVE - Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool to track down the accessibility errors and fix in our web site to ensure this is full accessibility for all - especially Deafblind.
I am very grateful to have my learning experience with group of deaf task force, shared the feedback, discussions, and challenges.

After the restaurant. Jerry at Laura's place.Jerry: So I really had a good time.
Laura: Yeah, me too.
Jerry: So you want to go to the party on Friday night?
Laura: Yeah.
Jerry: All right, we're taking a car service. So we'll swing by and pick you up. How about six? (Laura looks offended). Six is good. (Laura looks offended and angry). You got a problem with six? (Laura opens the door and gets out). What? What?
(Commercial)
......
At Jerry's apartment.
Jerry: See I was saying "six" but she thought I was saying "sex". We straightened the whole thing out though.
George: She confused "six" with "sex"?
Jerry: Yeah.
George: Well if she can't tell "six" from "sex" then how is she going to lip read from across the room?
Jerry: Well "six" and "sex" are close.
George: It's two completely different sounds. "ih" and "eh".
Jerry: Eh.
George: It seems like a problem.
Jerry: Well I'm not dating any other deaf women.
Should I date hearing woman? Depends on hearing woman understanding in Deaf culture and communication in America Sign Language.

I remember back in late 1990s when I discovered the 8-bit Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) on emulators and illegal ROM games, became craze in Internet.
Until yesterday, my friend shared with me, to check out the gaming site: vNES or Virtual NES, that allows playing any 8-bit Nintendo games (including homebrew and unreleased games) on web browser without needing to download into local hard drive.
The only real requirement to play those 8-bit games is that you need Java 1.5.0 or higher to play on the computer.
The only interesting part in my mind about vNES, can this emulator be played on Internet Browser over gaming platforms I own: Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DSi and PlayStation3? I bought my time to take some experiment to try this out if it is compatible with browser platform. I selected the vNES game page, Super Mario Bros 3 to try:
Wii: Internet Channel
Developed by Opera Software, I just discovered that Opera does not support Java package. The screenshot would look like on my 42-inch LCD HDTV:
Source: Wikipedia - Wii Internet Channel
Wikipedia - Opera Browser
Nintendo DSi Browser (Titled: Opera Browser)
Another one for Opera Software, I tried to get into selected game to play, and I get the whole black screen on web browser with nothing in there:
PlayStation 3 Internet Browser
Built by Netfront (a microbrowser for embedded devices) and developed by Access Co. Ltd. of Japan, I get the same whole black screen as DSi.
Conclusion
All three gaming platforms with Internet web browser application does not support Java 1.5.0 package which is required to run and play Virtual NES games, it is sad to see that I am unable to play NES on web browser-based emulator on gaming systems.
What can I say? I enjoyed it...
