New Year, New Blog 01/23/2010
RI RID needed a face lift, so what did we do? Added board members....check! Colorful newsletter....check! Updated website....check! Trendy blog...um check? Our new blog is way to connect people to RI RID's real membership. Sure we post information about conferences and workshops, but do we go? We post about things happening in RI, but what do we think? Our first blog will give a kind nod to a fellow interpreter showcasing his work on YouTube. Eric Witteborg, or Ewitteborg as he's known on YouTube is getting lots of hits, and rightfully so. Ewitteborg shows some of his interpretations of songs in English and Spanish, and stories about being a CODA. I've laughed, I've cried, I've tried to make my face move like his. I'd like to share one of his recent posts showing how dynamic ASL really is. He uses a few handshapes in this interpretation basically to show how awesome ASL. His more articulate reasons are posted below his video at http://www.youtube.com/user/ewitteborg#p/u/3/t3JIL_IW7Rg Enjoy and tune in soon to see what else is going on with RI RID! Thanks! Hayley J.

Just had to ditto Eric's amazing ability to add more dimension to a song than I've EVER seen. My husband and I are interpreters in WA state and can't talk about Eric enough to everyone we know. My two favorite videos are Bust Your Windows and Handlebars. Pure genius!
