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...

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 [...]

DeafHope Video
found in blank If you've come here looking for the DeafHope video, I've taken it off my server after exceeding my bandwidth limits twice in one day. 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. I'll e-mail [...

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.
