…no more than 2,971 to go.

If I live blogged my Computer Supported Cooperative Work final, could I turn it in? I think I just blew my own mind.

    Did you get a head start in Amsterdam?

    And how is that you can get to a site called asstastic but you’re blocked from flickr?!

    No, I didn’t because by the time I got to Amsterdam, I had hardly slept on the plane at all. I did start jotting down a few notes at DTW.

    Asstastic must have been deemed consistent “with the religious, cultural, political and moral values of the United Arab Emirates.” Then again, the UAE censors might be reviewing the country’s traffic logs on Monday morning and then adding asstastic to the blocked list.

    Maybe you can borrow some of this klassik text?

    Ordinary Constructions of the Extraordinary

    The British writer Mason Cooley said, “Placing the extraordinary at the center of the ordinary, as realism does, is a great comfort to us stay-at-homes.” He is speaking to how the extraordinary becomes known as the ordinary. Our class examined how this has occurred in relation to electronic politics. I observed that extraordinary politics were most easily categorized through their construction as stories, visual symbols, and rhetorical techniques. Ultimately, extraordinary electronic politics occur when a story presents itself and news organizations use their production and editorial power to enhance and extend a sense of necessity.

    You know, every semester at some point I claim that I turned in “the worst paper I ever wrote,” some shabby collection of quotes and run-on sentences thrown together at the last minute. Thanks for the reminder that I will *never* even approach the awfulness that was that Multimedia Politics paper.
