I only translated the first 2 paragraphs to ASL but it was only 40 signs.
Just in case anyone was interested. There is no good way to translate it
other than by human. Isabelle 

 

Cool, that sounds like a challenge.  We figure out how to get a seventh
generation game console with movement sensor, such as the Xbox 360 or a Sony
PlayStation 3 to watch someone do ASL signs and translate it into text.

Then use Windows Media Center graphics to translate text into ASL.

I already knew what an Xbox360, a Wii and a PS3 are.  Oh my, am I a hipster
hepcat or what?  I am so with the mod scene, man.

If someone really wants me to do the entire thing, I will, and I will
annotate it.
