Nice Pic
OK, this Blog is supposed to be all about my research. But I thought I’d share this nice pic. Thanx to Tyson Crosbie for this one.
Dissertation Topic – Online Video Conversations
Here is a video directed at my dissertation committee. However, as it discusses my direction, I am posting it here.
12 Seconds
I was recently introduced to 12 seconds. It is another online video site. However, with this one, you only get 12 seconds to say what you need to say. At first thought, this might seem a questionable format, as there is little one can say in a mere 12 seconds. However,

Is this the answer to bridging geographic distance textually but using rules clearly based in orality, afforded by the new technologies?” I took this to refer to bridging the situation that since you are not right…

Continuing the conversation on Residually Cyclical Styles (the cyclical nature of orality and literacy), I realize the next (or most recent) cycle.
