Closing Ceremony
found in blank The biggest dinner event I've ever seen - hundreds of tables on the field serving probably every national delegation member. Plus every person in the audience gets a free dinner box too, along with a fan and musical thingamajie! A grand ol' party to top off an incredible Deaflympics.

Post-Op Photo
found in blank I'm seeing a rash of photos of new Cyborgs/Cylons/Cured-Of-Deafness persons, proudly sporting their white badges of honor. So I'm throwing in mine from nearly seven years ago. Enjoy! Funny, my expression in that photo describes exactly how I feel about my CI now–all that ambivalence.

Culture’s Promise for Deaf People
found in blank One of the classes I just completed was “Voices: Deaf People in America,” taught by Dr. Tom Humphries. It wasn't exactly the most exciting course, and in fact, three out of the six of us managed to get it waived. Sometimes it was a hassle because this class would conflict with our real classes in [...]

March for Equality - Nov. 15
found in blank Marches are awesome on any day, but especially when you get to do it with other Deaf people. I think about 10 of us showed up, and the rest of you missed a great show because we got to march right behind the lead banners, ahead of 20,000 hearing-ass fools (er, allies). Deaf privilege rocks! Facebook [...]

Edward S. Klima
found in blank I never heard of him until I got the UCSD campus-wide e-mail about his passing. Here is a well-written obituary of him by Margalit Fox, author of “Talking Hands” which I loved. And then just yesterday I read an article in where Klima was cited, and I am left wondering how many times I have [...]

NTID Applicants and Alumni - Request Fraud Alert Online
found in blank I thought this was important enough for me to repost from Jared's Global Microbrand (thanks, Jared for typing that up!). You fall in this category if you have ever sent an application to NTID since it opened in 1968 (and that obviously includes all NTID/RIT students 1968-2008). The word has gone out that there was [...]

CI-Related Articles Published In The Last Three Months
found in blank After reading a few powerful articles about the hearing agenda, the eradication of the deaf-world, the rise of the CIs and so on for my EDS 125 class (History, Theories, and Politics of Bilingual Education), I was inspired to see what was going on with today's research into cochlear implants. So I went to EBSCO [...]

Edward Miner Gallaudet’s 1881 Review of the Milan Convention
found in blank At California School for the Deaf (Fremont), there's a library bookshelf with several shelves of American Annals of the Deaf from the 1840s onward. Because of my Deafhood class, my eyes immediately searched for the 1881 volume; surely there would be some articles about the Milan Convention of 1880. Sure enough–there's several of ‘em. The [...]

Deaf Person Featured: “Drafting The Future of Avant-Garde...
found in blank Here's an article about one of our fellow Deaf people, Jeff Mansfield, who graduates from Princeton this month. The wonderful thing about this article is that it's not about his being Deaf, but instead highlights his undergraduate accomplishments in the field of architectural theory. Only in the second-to-last paragraph is his Deaf identity mentioned, and...

DeafSide: What A Great Idea!
found in blank Transcript: Hi, I'm Adam. You know how DeafRead was set up about two years ago by Tayler and Jared? Now they've set up a counterpart blog aggregator called DeafSide. (suggesting a sign for DeafSide) What's DeafSide for? Its goal is to be a place where people can celebrate their language, community, culture, and history. When [...]

Deaf Population Is 90% Unemployed?
found in blank At Lt. Gov. David Paterson's press conference today, he was asked how he felt about becoming New York's first Black and first blind governor. The fact that it’s taken this long in some ways is a sad note. But if it in any way allows for African-Americans or those who are disabled – 71 percent of [...]

Assa Vassa Bassa
found in blank Many of my good friends come from oral backgrounds, so it's not rare to see our almost-actualized Deaf adult selves mocking our own attempts to speak. One way of doing this is mouthing “assavassabassa” very quickly (or as the case may be, very slowly). Maybe it's just an inside joke, who knows. Imagine my surprise [...]

Defamation In Your Blog Posts and Comments: Your Legal...
found in blank I had the pleasure today of being of the presenters at the DeafRead Conference in Burlingame, CA (a short drive south of San Francisco). It was an absolutely incredible experience to see so many bloggers, vloggers, and readers come together in one place. Imagine the perpetually elegant Amy Cohen Efron stepping out of her vlog [...]

Please leave a comment here if you'd like to download the two-minute, thirty-second .mov file of CNN's brief story about DeafHope (aired Tues. Nov 27). Unfortunately, it's not captioned.

AGBell/Tower C Mania
found in blank I happened upon Tayler's post about the name of one of RIT/NTID's residential buildings, the Alexander Graham Bell Hall. Commonly known as Tower C, its first floor is the campus daycare center, while its second story is mainly apartments for graduate and fellowship students. The post amused me to no end because I had written [...]

Mr. Scissorhands Learns The Rochester Method
found in blank So I posted this video on Facebook and it is apparently cracking up viewers (much to my surprise). So, for the rest of you, here it is below. Let Wikipedia teach you about the Rochester Method! In other news, egh, I don't like the Headless style anymore. Do you? Time to find a new one.
