On Mark's "ASL: Not Guilty"
Deaf Ogre Everyone, I’m still not up to blogging anything due to a personal reason: my relative’s health. However this time, I want to break a few weeks of “vacation” of blogging to add a few things to one of my favorite Deaf writers, Mark Drolsbaugh, wrote an excellent article, “ASL: Not Guilty“. Actually, I’m letting this [...]

Am I wrong?
Deaf Ogre *Am I wrong to be thrilled about this promising ‘cure’ for Deafness? First of all, I’m anti-Cochlear Implant and its technology. To think allowing someone put a foreign inorganic object in my head is entirely lunatic. But I support the freedom of choice for Deaf or HoH to choose whether they want to get CI implanted [...]

National Theater of the Deaf: Money Woes
Deaf Ogre It appears that NTD has an economical quandary. Here’s a few excerpts (you have to log in to read): For nearly four decades it has provided a cultural bridge between the hearing and the hearing-impaired, but unless federal and state agencies come to some agreement about its financing, the National Theater of the Deaf may be [...]

Deaf School's future is in question
Deaf Ogre I just arrived from the party (yep, it’s that late). However I got a email with a link from my friend. Read on: GOODING ? Maybe it's the endless farmland and desert, which isolates the Idaho School for the Deaf and the Blind from the rest of Idaho, or maybe it's because ISDB students don?t communicate [...]

A gem from Deaf woman on driving
Deaf Ogre There is a heated argument (and wholly imbecilic to start with) whether or not a Deaf person can drive. I don’t need to expand on this idiotic argument any more than Banjo already did?which he did so thoroughly. Incidentally, I really don’t plan to make an entry about it until I just happened to give [...]

A question from a ASL student
Deaf Ogre My hearing friend (ASL student) asked me a question this afternoon and I quoted his question unabridged: If a Deaf oralist systemically rejects ASL, Deaf Culture and Deafness background, and attempted to imitate a hearing person, would s/he still be considered Deaf due to being incapable to hear anything? Another hearing friend of mine who saw our conversation made [...]

It takes two? (relationship)
Deaf Ogre Sorry but I have to sidestep the “Elitism” issue for a moment. Actually, I plan to post at Rob’s entry but mine is quite lengthy so I created this entry about it instead. Rob Rice of DeafDC.com asked a question that has been throwing around in heated discussions & debates whether or not if a Deaf-Hearing [...]

Eyeth (Deaf World): Elitism IS a problem (Part 1)
Deaf Ogre Introduction:  I had been considering making an entry about “Elitism” in the Deaf community but kept postponing because of two reasons; 1) When it comes to speaking on various controversial issues, I can be a downright asshole about them hence I sometimes try to stay away from those issues as far as I can to get [...]

The internet makes the small world smaller
Deaf Ogre “Small World” is a popular expression term for Deafies (and some hearies) to use whenever their “Hey-I-Know-Your-Brother’s-Roommate” conversation comes up. Why am I making a blog entry about it? Well, simply put, I was contacted by two women?one is a good friend whom I met in Vermont and another one was my long-time sweetheart from [...]

Reading is 'Fun'damental (Deaf-related issue)
Deaf Ogre The sheer thrill of obtaining knowledge, acquiring new information or finding out what happens at the end of the story. Nothing on this Earth can beat that. Well besides love, sex, winning the multi-million lottery and being Superman (who wouldn’t?). Reading books is my greatest passion. I simply love to read books?mostly informative books. I aggressively [...]

Jared's "Where are the deaf female bloggers?" topic
Deaf Ogre [via] Tayler Mayer’s blog I want to address Jared’s “Where are the deaf female bloggers?” topic a bit more. He has good points but I’d like to add a few things. I talked to some female friends of mine to get some more feedback. There are two things that women (my friends) are unanimously concerned about: 1) Sexual [...]
