I finished my two conference papers and board the plane shortly. For those of your stumbling upon this site, be warned. It ain’t finished yet. Things remain in a state of digital disrepair. So please keep that in your brains, and mind any bent nails you find coming out of the floor. If you’ll be at the conference, call, text or email so that we can meet up.
By a twisting path I was directed this morning to this fascinating blog post about Edward Abbey living in Cullowhee, which I hadn’t known about. Apparently he was unhappy. I love a good curmudgeon, and for my money, The Fool’s Progress is one of the best American novels ever written, at least top three.
Also, special congratulations to Viz. and the Visual Rhetoric Workgroup in UT Austin’s Digital Writing and Research Lab (DWRL), which was named in a tie with ProfHacker for the Kairos John Lovas memorial Weblog Award. John Jones, Tim Turner, Vessela Valiavitcharska and I founded Viz. four years ago. Congrats Viz.!
Here’s a picture of a huge slug I found in the Hoh Valley on the Olympic Peninsula after the RSA conference in Seattle two years ago. The place was littered with ‘em. May my discoveries in Minneapolis be as exciting.
