These are the musings (personal, academic, perhaps sometimes borderline wacky) of a rhetoric and composition teacher who adores the written and spoken word in all its forms.

New on Kairos
I just noticed two new discussions on the Kairos blog that relate to Multimedia Media--one is the announcement for Matt Barton and Bill Loguidice's new book on vintage video games, and the other is a blurb about Microsoft's new "Word Stickers"--I don't really know how much of a learning aid those would be for someone just learning to type. As platypus matt says, one could find that same information from going through another route.
I missed most of the documentary series "Rise of the Video Game." Excellent show.
Thank god for YouTube. :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ras4E4N1S5E (And before anyone fusses at me about copyright issues, I checked Discovery first. They did not have it for sale.)
Me, at five, in all my Strawberry Shortcake obsessed splendor (and if you look real close you can also see "Western" Ken and Barbie in their Winnebago at the bottom corner)
Sara: I teach composition, rhetoric, and literature courses at a local university. And, when I have the opportunity, I paint watercolors. I am married to Brian, the wonderful man with whom I am enjoying a fantastic life and who loves wine as much as I do.
Brian:
I love poetry and wine and food. But I love nothing more than making my beautiful wife smile and laugh.
