Also i think its great when people learn to take sign language. I took sign language for 2 years in school, then we got to go met people our age at our local mall and got to take our sign language to the test.

It's a culture I don't know much about and with which I have no personal experience. However, the mere thought of an audio interview with someone who doesn't speak makes me giggle. But the missed opportunity to videotape the interview and make an effort to reach out to the deaf community (is a typed transcript *really* equivalent to seeing or hearing the person?) makes me groan. Eric - Apparently there are many deaf persons who make video blogs. I would say that there is more than potential - there is real value that some of them are realizing. I can't seem to find it at the moment (I thought I had written about it earlier but I can't seem to find it) but I've come across some fascinating discussions about deaf persons using webcams and cell phone cameras to communicate with one another. Apparently written English is a pretty difficult foreign language for someone whose primary language is sign language since even the written language is largely based on the verbal pronunciation of words (i.e. phonics).

I actually co-facilitated a discussion on blogs, podcasting, vodcasting, etc. in a higher ed grad class yesterday. A student in the class talked about the potential for online video blogs for the deaf community. The video blog at Gallaudet is terrific! Thanks for posting this Kevin.

When I saw that in my RSS reader, I didn't get a chance to check the Chronicle's article. But, I was really surprised to see they had an audio interview. The thought that it might even looked offensive to the deaf community crossed my mind. You're right, Kevin. Really weird. You’re not the only one.
