Ph. and I whistled into the Syracuse train depot yesterday afternoon; we’re
\nhome from the excursion to the conference. Everything is unpacked,
\nlaundered, put away. <\/p>\n

I have plans to put the paper to an mp3 and sync it with the slides. I
\ncan do this, of course, because my talk was scripted. It’s endlessly
\nreproducible as a result. But recording will have to wait until I shake off the
\ncough-inducing tickle that has been getting the best of me all day today.
\nSure, I could delete out any of the hacking and rattling that makes its way into
\nthe mix, but why? I’ll just wait it out. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I turned in my travel receipts today, worked through a bit of grading and
\nresponse, and circulated my diss prospectus draft to the committee for review at
\ntheir convenience. That’s enough for this day. More grading
\ntomorrow. And I have to exchange a shirt at the JC Penney store and drop
\noff the lawn mower for repair. The grass isn’t green and growing just yet, but the
\nsnows have backed down so that only small, sparse, melting pockets interrupt the
\nbrown of yard, bold in their last stand against spring’s rain and regreening. <\/p>\n

A few more crumbs from the conference: here’s the slideshow that went along
\nwith my talk at CCCC.<\/p>\n

\n<\/object>\n<\/p>\n

And the links to the beta testing (i.e., impermanent) spaces for the clouds and the maps:<\/p>\n

Sliding
\nTagclouds by Issue<\/a>
\nSliding Tagclouds
\nby Volume<\/a>
\nAuthor-location Map<\/a>
\nAuthor-Grad
\nProgram Map<\/a><\/p>\n

If things go well, I’ll have the audio of the full talk added to the
\nslideshow and posted by week’s end (which<\/i> week?…excellent question).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
