FoxyTunes and Planet: Make Your Browser Foxy!
Denver – Good afternoon, everybody! I hope you had a great weekend. Deaf Experts in Deaf La-La Land continue to ooze confusingly conflicted views regarding the Deaf Bilingual Coalition (DBC). In fact, a leading ASLWinkWanker – another term for a self-anointed Deaf Expert – recently declared:
“First impressions are important! The DBC sucks.”
I am not kidding you!
HaHa!
Anyway .. I am deaf. I really have no useful purpose in caring about podcasts, but while surfing the Internet recently, I accidentally came across FoxyTunes. So, I checked it out, and after reading a few online articles about FoxyTunes, I downloaded the plugin for my FireFox.
FoxyTunes is pretty cool. I figure those of you music and video lovers will get a kick out of FoxyTunes because it allows you to control your media players from your browser, rather than having to switch between windows, programs and applications.

FoxyTunes Planet is something else, too. For example, by clicking the FoxyTunes button in my browser, I commanded my iTunes to play a specific song. Then, as the song played, I clicked the Planet’s button and was lead to an interactive web site with lots of options, including additional videos of the same song, lyrics, pictures and even autobiographical information about the artist.
Foxy!
Through FoxyTunes Planet, I happened to come across a subtitled music video and in fact, because I am so impressed with FoxyTunes and Planet, I decided to post the video that I found. So, check it out if you like.

Anyway, I have to go now – I am going to the mall (unfortunately) – but the point of today’s article is not that the DBC still sucks. The point of today’s article is that FoxyTunes and Planet may make your online browsing more interactive and fun.
All ya’ll might want to check it out.
Be good .. or be good at it.

Hey you!
Thanks for the information on Foxy Tunes! Definitely something I really would use. I hate switching back and forth between applications, especially if you have a playlist on your computer. So…this is really neat and I’m gonna download that, for sure.
Nice song.
DBC still sucks, no matter how anyone cuts it.
See, they’re so confused cuz they know DBC sucks…
Paotie!
Off the point if I may…….
Take a look at MishkaZena’s blog. See the comment #129 made by MariMom. And #133 made by Dr. Hocokan.
See Candy’s blog as well……
*DBC…….shakes head*
Paotie and Friends,
Here is Dr. Hocokan’s new blog….
http://hocokan.blogspot.com/2008/07/hocokan-center.html
I tried to reach Candy’s blog…..her blog is down!
Hey, hey… you are mighty quiet….
What a bum…
I stopped by to see your blog….
Your door states that “Gone to the pink surfing”
We are all bored.
DBC and AG Bell saga continues since the 27th of June……We wanna to hear from you…..
I am so tired of the saga…
Bring us something new Paotie, pretty please????
I know Ben,
But I want Paotie to see the DBC’s powerpoint at MishkaZena’s blog…….It made me really ARGH! Deafhood must go.
I’m really pi**ed off. Many parents will not understand this, at the same time, they are grieving over the news with the new “deaf” babies.
*Sigh*
Paotie would come up with an excellent one liner…
“DBC sucks even more.”
LOLOLOLOL!
BTW, I’m ignoring my blog now. I’m just not in the mood.
Seems like people are afraid to tell the DBC leaders, “hey, now. Stop acting like children.”
instead, we get slammed again and again.
C’est la vie

Ben, I saw Lois’s comment over at your blog.
From the looks of it, DBC isn’t changing their tune and they think that just because everyone comes out of the convention with smiles on their face, means that the convention was a success. We know deaf people always have smiles on their faces after participating in lip services. Come on, after a social venue, everyone has a smile on their faces.
So, we just let them dig their own grave and let it be.
Which is doable.
But, beware, NAD is probably now under the influence of these DH proponents. Kind of scary, eh?
At least a real world exists in which we can live and play in should the deaf world become too delusional.
Paotie–
You’re missing quite a drama!
-Ben
Heh heh….
*rubbing hands*
My plan is working flawlessly.
Mike, any idea on where Paotie is?
He just recently started his residency (PhD) so he’s busy. Just be patience. You don’t get your PhD for being lazy.
Ha!
So, he….Pleaze Help Deaf! Do it, Paotie!
DBC is having a mess.
Okay, Mike… glad to hear that he is striving for better. He does not need to be distracted.
Ohh If i had a choice writing a dissertation or dealing with this…
I would write a thousand page epic on the genius of microdriles.
Ben
Dissertation….that is….he’s working on dissertation….
Which topic? Phd. “P-leaze h-elp d- eaf”! That’s what he’s working on his dissertation. Hee, hee, hee…..
Microdriles? Ha! I know what you are talkin’ about.
Public policy, I believe…
PAOTIE! You are back… finally!
You missed a lot of action

miss you…loved the video- it was in Italian…*smile* Jodi
