Here I am!

Yes! Apparently . . . this is blogging!!!

As for content for this brand, spanking, new blog?

About this past Thursday's reading. Page 11 of the manifesto. Under a few reasons--and they do mention that there are more--for why traditional departments insist upon "the very disciplinary structures that emerged in the course of the formation of modern universities in the 19th century even when the intellectual ground has shifted out from under their feet." (And I typed all of that, did not copy and paste, as don't know how to do that from the document. So that's a good indication of where I'm at, tech-wise.)

In their list, they do not mention anxiety. Which, at least for me, is certainly the dominating reason that I am not already more versed in new media than I am. This, to me, seems a major oversight.

That's it for now . . . I'm on the peninsula, right now, in Portola Valley (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portola_Valley,_CA), instead of at my house on Mt. Davison (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mt._Davidson), so it will take me a minute to drive up to SFSU.
