Last Blog

I'm back. My twelfth blog of the semester-a pretty pathetic performance. But as I said at the beginning of the semester, I won't hold any student accountable to a higher standard than I met in my blogs.

In the last class, I am asking each student to look at every blog from their classmates and give a holistic evaluation of each student's performance. I'd like you to rate each student on a scale from 1-5, with 5 being excellent, and 3 being my own meager performance. I'd like you to rate each blog in terms of its engagement with class readings, reflection on their research project, and overall interest. Also give a one or two sentence comment. For example, your entry for student A might be:
Student A:
Class readings: 4
Project: 3
Overall: 4
"I really like her reflection on her fantasy novel. It's
an interesting project."

The Blogger is Back!

Here I am: The inconstant blogger.

While I was at the WIDE conference, I hear Johndan Johnson Eilola talk about RFIDS and Spimes, and I got very excited when he discussed how these technologies were "textualizing our lives." I know Steve Pepple is working on a proposal related to RFIDs.

The writer who has recently raised interest in these issues is Bruce Sterling, one of the UR-writers of the Cyberpunk movement. My interest in Sterling goes back to my days at the Clarion SF Writers workshop in 1972. Sterling's very interesting blogging on the subject is at:

It's often a hoot!
