Assorted Like A Pack of Skittles

  • Elbows out at SU: Somebody from the Laimbeer family is hooping for the Orange this winter.
  • Tech Access Queue: Add this--the hundred dollar laptop--to the rare examples of folks doing more about access than invoking it as an angle of technology critique.  I'll continue to log them when I run across a find, but they're infrequent.  Raises tough questions of just how actionary access advocacy might be.
  • We're Moving!  Late-semestercide, but, well, it's time.  We'll be closer to Ph.'s school and only a tiny distance farther away from mine. (Familial note: D.'s prepping an email with our new info.  Looks like we might finally switch to 315 cell numbers, too.)  
  • I Feel a Sore Throat Coming On!  For lunch, I'm strolling over to New Garden in Westcott and carrying home a gigantic hot-n-sour soup. 
  • All afternoon: spread out the Social Network Analysis stuff I'm putting together for Method~ologies.  Do a little bit of mix and match on the kitchen table. Patterns?
  • Collin and Jenny have posted photos from last week/end's symposium on digital and visual rhetorics.  I was just thinking I ought to get my notes into blogable shape one of these days.

"Whether by intent or default, we have centralized in our conversations a default view of what can be sanctioned as good writing (as enacted often through a traditional view of the freshman essay), a view that has functioned ultimately to tether, rather than enable an evolving discussion" (24).
