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.
