Caption Success Story with Game Show

By Bobby Cox November 11, 2012

Recently, many people in the signing community have pushed hard for more captioning on internet video — from Netflix to YouTube, Amazon to Hulu; and I want to share with you a success story! When a friend tipped me off to a Kickstarter campaign for a web series of shows about a fantastical arcade where…

Frontrunners in Ghana

By Michael Serrato December 11, 2011

Not too long ago I was backpacking in Central America, exploring the nomad’s life through three different countries. Having said this, I recall meeting a deaf dude at a cafe in Costa Rica. He expounded to me about a leadership program in Denmark infused with leaders. He said the leadership program consisted of an international…

An Open Letter to Deafblind People Out There

By Christine Coco Roschaert November 25, 2011

Life is created by you only. People, objects, events, and education come into your life and they leave with some kind of mark, but only you as a human being remain. So it’s important to live your life the way you want to. If you find purpose in your life, then you have found peace.…

A Guide to the Maternal Reflective Method

By Carlo Ruggiero June 20, 2011

Often, deaf children learn to sign so that they can communicate their needs and also learn in schools for the deaf. However, signing is not the only method of communication. In schools today, there is a Maternal Reflective Method, sometimes called Oral Reflective Method, which teaches partially or fully deaf children how to learn and…

Apple Adds Closed Captioning Support for AppleTV, But Content Falls Short

By Adam Stone January 21, 2008

I went to MacWorld last week! As a Mac user and a newly-minted resident of San Francisco, it was my holy and solemn duty to go. I made especially sure to go the day after Steve Jobs’ keynote so I could see new Apple machines on display. While my hopes for a MacBook Pro update…

Davila, The Pride Of Gallaudet…And RIT/NTID, Too!

By Adam Stone September 18, 2007

Time to wind up the good ol’ RIT vs. Gallaudet rivalry again. Except that, this time, distinguished Gallaudet President Dr. Davila, not a bunch of drunk, obscene adolescents at a pep rally, started it. I refer to this video clip from the September 6th Town Hall meeting posted on Gallaudet’s website. It’s a rousing speech, a call to…

Relay-Interruptus (Or, I Just Want a Damn Pizza!)

By Bobby Cox January 11, 2007

Ok. I am sufficiently fed up enough with relay services to write Yet Another Deaf Rant About the Relay. Let me paint a picture for you. MacWorld, San Francisco (a conference I’m currently attending). Hunger. Dinner time. The buzzing city all around me. Ah! Round Table Pizza (The Last Honest Pizza)– a delectable treat for…

Deaf Identity, Interrupted

By Adam Stone December 11, 2006

One gem emerged from the deaf blogosphere blitz which arose during the May 2006 protests at Gallaudet University. It is Genie Gertz’s video succinctly explaining the complex concept of Deafhood in just a few minutes. When I saw it for the first time, it totally clicked for me. I memorized it and repeated the video to all…

Who’s On First?

By Adam Stone November 13, 2006

Five years ago and half a world away, I was part of the cast of “Rustle of a Star,” an original play at NTID’s Panara Theatre. I was pleased to, along with my colleague, to re-enact the timeless Abbott and Costello routine, “Who’s On First?” A heavily condensed version follows: A: Who’s on first?C: That’s…
