DeafDC.com fans can now kick back and read the musings of Christopher Jon Heuer, the latest addition to DeafDC.com! Many of us know him from his long (and thoughtful) comments in our blogs (which some say are blogs within blogs).
He is the author of All Your Parts Intact: Poems and the upcoming Bug (due out this fall from Gallaudet University Press). Heuer also wrote columns for the NAD Members Only Area (MOA) several years ago. The columns were actually blogs but we didn’t know it at the time.
Heuer teaches English and is a rabid Battlestar Galactica fan (the ultra-cool remake, not the campy 1970s original). He spends much of his time competing with his wife, Amy, for possession of their household’s sole computer, which they (cough) share as a conscientious answer to the global warming crisis. Otherwise they would have just bought two.
Please give him a warm welcome to DeafDC.com!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Welcome. And judging from the length and frequency of your comments, your wife hardly ever uses the computer! ;)
I don’t think he sleeps much either! :) Welcome, Chris.
I think DeafDC.com now has jumped the shark. Farewell my friend, it was nice knowing you.
“Jumped the shark?” That’s a new one on me… what does it mean?
PS thanks all for the welcome…
Hi Chris ~
From what I have been able to figure out, it is a term used to indicate when something that was good turned bad. There is an actual website called “Jumped the Shark” that can be found at http://www.jumpedtheshark.com
According to the website, it means “a defining moment when you know your favorite television program has reached its peak. That instant when you know from now on…it’s all downhill.”
In another words, it’s not flattery. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
Not that I agree - congrats on joining the DeafDC stable, and I look forward to reading your posts.
Interesting.
That guy (jumped) had no business saying that. Perhaps DeafDC is better off without him if that’s how he thinks. I’m thrilled you’re onboard, Chris!
Hi Cali:
Nah, it’s cool. It’s part of the experience. At the very least, for those of us who didn’t already know, we learned what “jumped the shark” means.
Since you’re now part of the stable of DeafDC bloggers and the fact that you appear unfamiliar with cultural references like “jump the shark,” you might want to consider taking the time to read “Internet trolls” at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_%28Internet%29
I’ve enjoyed your postings and look forward to reading some more thought provoking articles from you.
Hahaha! Cool! Smacked by an internet troll!
