My Trip to Yuba College March 31, 2009

April 2nd, 2009, 11:42 am by Hana

On Tuesday, March 31, I went over to Yuba College to speak to Cari Carter’s ASL I and ASL II classes about living and working as a Deaf person in a newspaper industry focusing on the Internet. In ASL I began with a general “who I am” introduction before going into family life experience, mainstreamed school experience, college at American River College and California State University Northridge before going into the working world as a computer graphics design, then into webmastering and going back to college to obtain a BFA degree in Web Development through International Academy of Design and Technology, Tampa online. In ASL II, I described the job titles, functions, and responsibilities of Courtney Lopez, Steve Nelson and myself (sorry Robert LaHue, I limited to three job descriptions). After I talked with the classes, it was their turn to ask questions and comments.

Full story is under this jump.

Captioned Movie Trailers

January 3rd, 2008, 11:58 am by

You know those movie trailers? Wish they were captioned?

Fear not. You can find them captioned on billcreswell, one of the blogs that I visit. Bill Creswell is ideal because he works for a theatre that provides Closed Captioning for those who are deaf and hard of hearing, and Descriptive Audio for those who are blind and low-sighted. I know there are captioned trailers on Google and other places, but you kind of have to dig for them.

I kept seeing this trailer for “One Missed Call” and wondered what the heck the main female character was hearing on the cell phones. So I hopped online and checked out billcreswell’s blog. There it was. She was hearing the sounds people made before they died. Now I’m satisfied with the knowledge.

Little things like this leave a big mystery to me and I just have to know what it is.

I thought I’d pass on the information!
