Vlogs. I noticed that more and more people are starting to do vlogs. Years ago there were no closed captioning on televisions and now we have that option and a lot of shows/movies are now either closed captioned or subtitled.  We faced another problem when television shows and movies were being uploaded on the Internet (Hulu, iTunes Store, etc) and there were no subtitles and finally after a while most of them have subtitles. With vlogs that’s not going to happen…

Vlogs are created by people themselves and I know it’s a lot of work having to create the subtitles yourself. I noticed a lot of bloggers are starting to do vlogs and I could just watch it and not understand it unless there’s a transcript to read along with.

I have seen some of my deaf friends’ vlogs and they’re interesting and fun to watch. Last night I created a vlog and I hate seeing myself sign. I hate the way I sign — my “style” that is. Everyone who signs have their own “style”. With hearing people – everyone’s voice doesn’t sound the same. I know some deaf people who sign beautifully and smoothly.

I hesitated about showing my vlog because I think it’s lame. At least I warned you. (Subtitles included)
