Let me tell you short history in Pittsburgh about Deaf Professional Happy Hour (DPHH): the founder of DPHH Pittsburgh borrowed the concept idea of DPHH, in Washington, DC to Pittsburgh as social deaf bar events established sometime in early 2000s and died in short year. Then in 2004, the second generation of Deaf Pittsburghers including me, bought DPHH back, and died in summer of 2006 again, and yet third generation of new committees bought DPHH back alive again on March 2007.
I was the last second generations with seven DPHH Pittsburgh committees, I was the only person have talented web site to get our dphhpgh.com running. On November 2005, I left DPHH Pittsburgh as committee, no one want to take over my position as DPHH web work. The website became idle, the second generations of committees had to send out distribution email to Pittsburghers for DPHH event announcement. DPHH is suffering slowly in last few months, deafies are declining to attend DPHH, and died.
Now, DPHH Pittsburgh got whole new attitude in 2007. New committees. New website and photo sharing site. Actually, it's not dphhpgh.com. The new web address is: MySpace Pittsburgh DPHH and Google Picasa to view the photos. It's interesting to see how the new committees who have little or no experience with web skills, they figured out the easy way to have free web application tools like MySpace and Picasa to get DPHH website running.
