Forums
Alldeaf.com is the first internet deaf community I have been involved in. It’s the largest I have experienced and I met several people after I have
know them online for a long time. I would recommend you join and get to know people there by posting on forums to discuss almost everything.

There are a few more online places other than alldeaf.com where there are more specific focus on different deaf groups such as deaf mom, UK for deaf, and much more that you can find on engine search.

Facebook
Everybody may have Facebook, some may not be aware there are deaf groups. It makes great connections with the group in the LOCAL deaf community.

Make sure you find groups that are still active, then you have a better chance to make connections. It also is ideal for travelers–you can find another deaf group to get involved when you are traveling there.

Blogger
There are thousands of bloggers out there including me. There is a slim chance you will meet them and then know more about parts of their life. Some prefer to keep private because of different reasons. I suggest you to make comments, say something inspiring in response to their blog. They would be happy to reply to your comments. You can start with DeafRead.com, it’s sort of a good guide that can led you find blogs to follow.

Please, don’t be anonymous, you may not get any benefit from them.

Twitter
It’s a micro-blog, they say pretty much anything. You can follow deaf people and read their tweets of whatever they want to say. Unlike blogs, you can respond to them with short comments, like if it’s a text. Only thing, Twitter can keep going up and down like a rollercoaster. Keep up, you get something great. Good start to follow @deafmom, @deafcoffee and @marleematlin. You can also follow me on @illustratorblog.

Reddit
It’s small, I recently started going there few months ago. I’m not sure about the deaf community on there to say anything about them. Once you get used to it, you might meet more deaf at /r/deaf or /r/asl.

However, don’t take the trolls too seriously–ignore them. They’re just ignorant about Deaf habits and Deaf perspectives.

Thank Chevy57!

First, I think it’s great. Usually, there are many FREE episodes enough to try out before purchase whole season. It’s very big POSITIVE!

Second, it’s non-misled as you can see label said that some, not all episode have CC. That tells so well!

Third, I hope for more available by end of this year. With search tool, it would make much easy for us to find. That’s same concept as Power Search on movie. Why not on TV shows? Keep eyes on iTunes…

Thank Chevy57!

TIPS: You can also make the search by type “closed caption”, it will show up the listing in full counts of 1,810 (it actual appear only 1,791).

You can check all photo I took on travel with other 14 deaf, an interpreter, DeafNation staff and Joel. It was amazing!!!

Of course not! It’s joking, there are less advertising than the old one. Yet, these women are amazing!

However… There is something is wrong with Netflix. The subtitle appears to be error. I think it act dumb on certain character key. I think that’s okay.

No, it’s not okay… I’m not really happy when I found out that individual TV series claim, it have Subtitle available but it’s not. For example, Bones have subtitle available, however, one of episode (1st Season, Episode 4) isn’t available to provide the subtitle at all. What given?

Deaf Jane Doe aka Amy aka Samantha
Deaf Jane Doe, (actress: McKenzie Applegate) is the scary girl who tried asking for a help. From what I understand the situation on being abuse that anyone would trends to have blank face or grief after being shock. Since I do not see much of the expressive while make out of communicate with ASL. That what I would agree on how her perform appears. Her true parents appear to know ASL. That’s one question I would like to know if they’re deaf or not. My best guess, they’re hearing, I’m sure.

Oh, if you wonder if that actress, Applegate, is deaf or hearing. Just unfortunately that actress is hearing and had skill in ASL or either being train. She just makes her perform that well. I recall by seen her in Desperate Housewife a while time ago.

Lawyer, Interpreter or Social Work?
Meacham (actress: Michelle L. Gardner) told that she is attorney who know ASL and protect for Jane Doe while Dr. Bones is need to follow from the court’s order, have Jane Doe to be cooperate by take some sample from her mouth and hair. Yet, from what I seen that Meacham’s role act like if she is social work the way she is assist the communicate for her like if she is an interpreter.

It’s rare to seen lawyer who have ability in ASL. Yes, it would be nice and wonderful service to have one. I’m not sure about 100% on how the system works. By the way that Gardner, the actress is hearing.

American Regional Sign Language
Just an concept as “American Regional English” when Dr. Bones figures on where Deaf Jane Doe’s sign language come from. It’s neat that they’re using high-tech to detect on her sign to find the word it match where is base from location – Pennsylvania. It makes excellent sense on how we grew up from school and friends in which location and become our prime communicate. It’s like you said, “Coke” in Southern and “Pop” in Northeastern.

I thought it’s amazing technology to find different sign language that would tell where from. I’m sure that you may remember example from CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: The Two Mrs. Grissoms where Marlee Matlin played in, someone was able to realize from someone’s unique sign that tell where the region is from. This time, that one is much different. However, I do not think they would able to make specs on where location is, if it just a luck show up.

Final thought
I enjoy when I don’t hear any issues with Cochlear implant (CI) like the first 3 or 4 shows like CSI, Law & Order and House MD that had to be involve with CI. That program makes thing feel more reality to deal with deaf when they’re in trouble. I’m little disappointment that find out that actress who plays as Deaf Jane Doe isn’t actual deaf. So, I give it 4 out of 5.

If you haven’t seen, you have 4 weeks left until the free episode on hulu.com will expire from this post’s date: Bones: The Signs in the Silence
