This is my first attempt at a vLog. I’m quite happy about how it turned out. My VP-100 and my limited knowledge of movie editing software bore non-bitter fruit. I’m hoping to use my vLog to help me digest the enormous amount of information that I need to read while preparing for my thesis. My goal is to use the discourse theories I’m studying to produce. This project excites me and I look forward to see what comes of it.

Tamara is already making fun of my unique “signs”. I don’t always have the sign vocabulary necessary to match the english words in my head so, I reach for approximate translations. Tamara, my fiancee, has pointed out that I’m probably using “bloom” incorrectly. Personally, I feel that it is an appropriate adjective given the context in which it is used. Self actualization, when applied to Deafhood, is a sort of blooming, isn’t it?

Cheers.
