Well, class
Is it time to end our blog? Is there a propoer ending for a blog? Do we let it die quietly or go out with some more ceremonial gesture? Does a gesture have any meaning if no one is on line? (like a tree falling in the woods. . . ).
take care all, and hope to see you before the break. If not, then have a good one. I'll miss you (sniff).

Hi all--
I read the study and it certainly makes me think that I must be some kind out weird outlyer (well, perhaps you all knew that already). At leats I know how all you under 30 types are spending your email time (that's you, Raz!!).
Anyway, I am sorry that we cannot go to Bertucci's Thursday but am happy to bring something to drink or eat on thursday.
see you sooon

Hey class--
Just a reminder that lit reviews are soon due. I have told a number of you that I have some additional resources for you. That doesn't mean that you have to include them in your lit review!! Simply that they might be worthwhile in your study. There was a good deal of research on I/CT at teh conference, so I am hoping to get some of those papers. Unfortunately, i was unable to attend many of them due to m own conflicting panels. Nonetheless, it is reassuring to know that this is an important area of research for many--whether the field in interpersonal, intercultural, performance, rhetoric, etc.
Anyway, hope you had a good week. see you soon.

For those heading off to NCA, I'll see you there. For those remaining in Amherst, I am leaving Tues. AM and won't be back before your lit reviews are due on the 25th. I probably won't be able to read my email very often--if at all--so l am trusting that everyone is doing okay with that assignment.
If i don't see you all before I go, take care and have a good week (no class!!).

So Steph--what does it mean that i just went to the blog--even before checking my email? Looking for some action, I guess :} And avoiding working on the paper I need to be writing right now. . .
Iris--glad you got something out of the workshop. I just wish i hadn't learned Dreamweaver a few weeks before. . .now i'm really feeling "disjunctured". Who am I if i have multiple websites?? :)
all right, back to work

Whoa!
Who says Ira is a guy to begin with?? I think you're making "namist" assumptions :) Seriously, Ira might well be a woman or a FtoM. I never thought ze was a man. As for the phrase Lauren was discussing about there only being one kind of sexual relation, I was putting the emphasis on my understanding of the larger analogy ze was drawing--that betwen gay and straight sex and an economy of power relations. Although I like the analogy and feel (ala Foucault) that there is something to it, I think that ze was oversimplifying relationships on the basis of their hetero or homo qualities--and thus, perhap oversimplifying the (re)productive moves of bodies and/as machines. I tend to gree with what steph had to say at this point. And, speaking of metonymy--yeah, that too.
Re" tamblyn. The phenomenological take sounds pretty much on target, in my book. Writing is somehow more authentic because we are physically drawing the works. Like chinese calligraphy versus typing chinese characters into the computer. One form is somehow more pure that the other and that has to do with the correlation between the act and the word--removed in the process of typing a letter that aready exists on my/our keyboard.
Soooo--what did you all think of Fred's workshop?? Was it worth taking the class period to do that?? I'd like to hear your comments.

Hey--
I like the fee "information society beneficial to all" . Sounds like politics to me. . . glad it's beneficial to all, anyway. that certainly "shapes" policy.
