Peter Cook performs for Gallaudet
Deaf Characters in Adolescent Literature While this blog is primarily for adolescent literature which includes Deaf Characters, I like to add topics that may be of interest to young adults in general. As an educator (and a lover of books), I want young people to read; however, I also hope that they attend cultural events that encourage them to play with language. One example is last night's performance by De...

Music Videos Captioned on Tube Caption
bill creswell Hi! I wrote a couple weeks about about TubeCaption. The site has some features that make it easy to import text, and gives an “educated guess” as to where they go. As it turns out, this lends itself well to music videos, which have lyrics easily available online. Insert the url, paste the lyrics, make some adjustments, and [...]

The Ear of My Heart Before I left for my family summer vacation on the Big Island of Hawaii, I told my Deaf friends I was going to swim naked with ‘Honu’ – the Hawaiian name for sea turtles.

Friday I’m in Love
Sudden Silence ...with my CI's! Starting back at the beginning…when Dave, Paige and I first got to the mapping room, my audiologist, Krystine, explained that she would set the volume thresholds on each CI individually.

Noted: subtitling community
Inaudible Nonsense Two posts to Lifehacker this week — DivXLand Media Subtitler Embeds Subtitles into Movie Files and Subdownloader Grabs Subtitles For All Your Movies — lead me into the world of subtitle sharing (what seems to be an outgrowth of anime fanboys and fangirls that share subtitles with each other). Apparently there some legal issues here in terms of who [...]

Deafess and Photography
The Ambling Rambler Someone asked me recently whether I would be so keen on photography if I had perfect hearing. I found it rather hard to answer that question as I've been deaf all my life and have never had perfect hearing. We all do things in life, the things that shape us, through our own experiences, some that aren't of our choosing, and we all tend to bend towards those that we ...

As soon as we begin to inquire how the ASL Dragon and the Wizard came into our imagination in the first place, we need to remind ourselve...
