I continue to believe, admittedly based on anecdotal and subjective evidence, that Maryland School for the Deaf - Frederick is THE top rated Deaf school in North America. Want proof? Check out a representative byproduct of that school; Exhibit #A

Jay of the See what you say; say what you see blog has recently released a video series which he calls the 'vMediation' on the subject of possible extinction of Deaf people and ASL. Unfortunately, the video clips are not captioned, nor is a transcript provided. If you're feeling adventurous...

Are these facts verified? I tried Googling a couple, and could not definitively verify them. In fact, a link refers the list to be 'Urban Myths': Deaf Urban Myths

Endymion has released his very first vlog! It is only roughly 40 seconds and isn't captioned, unfortunately. Go to this webpage at: ASL Storytelling Yes, I'm evil! ;)

Looks nice. It appears that Cingular will have exclusive marketing rights for this unit for the time being. I hope Cingular will bundle a data-only plan so that DHH consumers can use this unit. (I think Cingular already is doing this, offering a data-plan, but I'm not a Cingular customer.)

It's a poor man's imitation of Gallaudet's 'Rock Festival'. ;) Just fanning the flames of Gallaudet-envy among the RIT faithful! :D Seriously, though... It's a party hosted by RIT, usually during the RIT/Gally weekend.

I'm only ranked #209, trailing KINGOFNOOBS by a couple of postings. I suspect it will take me a lifetime just to move into the top ten. :) Thanks for the link to the stats page.

I've never seen this sign. Fly Free's description of the Dynasty is the one I've seen used all the time and I assume is the correct one.

Recently, there was a discussion on a forum about Dynasty, a soap opera that aired on ABC during primetime hours in the early to mid-1980's. For you young-uns who don't know what I'm jibber-jabbering about, click on this IMDB link: Dynasty (IMDB) The amazing thing is, I've never really...

Welcome to AD.com. (And welcome MelodyB to AD.com, too! I didn't see you there.) From a guy typing away in South Florida...

Stumbled upon this link; Apparently HBO will release a new documentary about a 65-year old couple opting for the CI regimen. Looks interesting, eh? ;) Oh- It won an award recently at the Sundance Film Festival. Hear and Now Poster

While that kind of criteria is fine, IMO, it still misses the mark by a mile. (And then some!) For adults, the success rate of the implant should also be measured by audiometric data such as speech discrimination levels before/after the implantation. If there's an increase, then the patient...

Long term use of such hand sanitizers can be hazardous to one's health, or could affect the general health of the overall population. For example, on how misuse of these items can affect one's health, visit this link for more info: Antibacterials and Disinfectants: Are They Necessary...

Well, there could be some element of truth in what you say; Still, I don't think the CI is primarily responsible for the diminishing returns currently being experienced at state-supported Deaf schools everywhere. By far, and the #1 reason why Deaf schools' enrollment #'s are declining, is...

Also, if you have listed your name on the DeafVP.com database or a similiar database, do not give out any AIM names, email addresses, or VP-100 phone numbers. I made the mistake of exposing my AIM screenname on DeafVP.com, and have removed it since.

Came across this funny video clip; I don't know if the actor is actually using Cued English or just making it up as he went along. As far as I know, there was never a Cued Club at Gallaudet, either. Now, the News at Gallaudet And yes, the actor also did a similiar skit using the Rochester...

Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to photograph him. If I were to take a picture of a fellow AD'er, it would have been me_punctured, and I would have made a wall poster! ;) At any rate, I did come across a picture which reminded me so much of Endymion... Yes, I'm evil. :) If it helps...

Recently, BlueAppleFilms released an old video clip satirizing people with CI's. Pretty funny. ;) I'm sure the video clip was produced all in good humor and is of a typical self-depreciating nature. I forgot to mention this; it is captioned. DMS CI Video Clip Now, before you CI users get...

Just curious; How is this being done? In the home or in the classroom, or both? I beg to differ. You may not need it, but your daughter certainly needs it. (If not now, but in the future.) I realize that you've essentially made up your mind on this subject, and only your daughter, when she gets...

That kind of agreement is generally uneforceable in courts as a matter of public policy, anyway. However, the point stands; the mere fact that he even suggested it in the first place is a huge warning sign about him as a person.
