Welcome to AllDeaf! Just wondering; Did you go to FSD? I know a couple of Deaf people in that region, mostly FSD alumni.

One major ding against it is the lack of a keyboard. While this isn't important for the general populace, the Deaf community needs it. Also, is iPhone equipped with push e-mail capabilities? If it isn't, then the BB will win out as usual.

While I think it's all local, I think this area is relatively oversaturated with counselors who know sign language. Moreover, thanks to the low incidence of Deafness in the general population, a counselor could go through YEARS before ever meeting a Deaf client, unless this counselor works...

Hopefully there'll be a non-camera version. However, one thing of concern; if the rumored BB 8800 has WiFi capabilities, count on T-Mobile insisting on the WiFi internet access plan of $20/month. This is in addition to the $30/month BB unlimited dataplan, for a total of $50 a month! Better not...

Just saw the slideshow, and it looks like it was very well attended and everyone had a great time! I'm glad to see this kind of thing going on in your corner of Florida and hope this will be a self-sustaining endeavor. Last week, I successfully hosted 2nd Annual Expatriate Night locally in...

Well, no. Granted, your vlog had simple content, short, and seemed rehearsed, which all made it more easier for clear SimCom usage.

Just a friendly suggestion; How about just signing for your vlogs, and then voicing over them later? That SimCom stuff can trip up even a most accomplished orator, and could muddy up the message. However, I'm well aware that it's largely a personal preference, so I'll leave it at that-- A...

Thank you for the warm message! I must have missed this one the first time around. I still amaze myself about how truly small and connected our Deaf universe actually is. Your posts on AD continually bring a smile on my face. While we're speaking on this subject, I just had the pleasure of...

Thanks for the tip! One time, my BB 8700g decided to make a call on its own! :( Now, I don't have to worry about it anymore.

This has been a disappointing turn of events for AB. The primary focus on the CI regimen always has been, and will continue to be, in speech discrimination. No more, no less. Music appreciation is a marketing concept, at the most, and shouldn't be used as a selling point for a particular CI...

Why would a city like St. Louis have three Deaf schools? Given the low incidence numbers of Deaf people in the general population, having three Deaf schools in a city is overkill, and wastes/duplicates invaluable educational resources geared towards Deaf education. As for the general...

Go to Google Video and use this as a search term; triomphe loeil You'll find my videos. :) Enjoy! Interestingly enough, Google Video now searches through captions! Now, that's cool, and I hope will spur more captioned content, now that such content is indexed by Google's search engine...

I'll assume you're familiar with the Bi/Bi method of Deaf education. Previously, I had been a Teacher of the Deaf and for a while, I contemplated the idea of having a bi/bi approach in educating my students, but with a twist; I would use Cued English for the reading assignments, and ASL for...

Thank you for visiting my blog and for your warm comments! They are certainly flattering. If I may make a humble suggestion, how about bookmarking DeafRead.com instead? This way, you'll see other blogs, and my blog's feed will go through the site, too. Spreading the gospel of Deaf blogs... :)

The captions are there now. :)

Cool! I got mine a few days ago! I love it so far. How did you get that? I tried the software developer's website and put in my email address, but I never did get a reply. Is there another website where I can d/l Ramble? The form factor is still a little bit bigger than the Pearl, for example...

Finally posted a 2:04 Google Video clip tonight about the BoT's decision today. I haven't had time to caption it, so non-ASL users here are 'left' out for the time being. Hopefully I'll caption them tomorrow and let you all know. For the ASL'ers among you, feel free to check it out! Triomphe...

About time! I'm very glad to see the news.

After visiting Gallaudet this past weekend, I realized that I had to drop my Luddite persona, ASAP! :) I folded like a cheap suit and went for a BlackBerry 8700g through DeafPagers.com. The provider will be T-Mobile and I'm on the unlimited data plan ($30/mo), w/ no voice minutes. I did...

I was at Gallaudet this past weekend. It was truly an unique a weekend there'll ever be at Gallaudet for a long time, and I was glad to be a part of it. Anyway, I've had the pleasure of meeting AD's resident agent provocateur, none other than Endymion himself. He easily exceeded all of my...
