    Surviving Work

    (rules as they come to me)

    1. If a meeting has a specified end time, leave at that time, even if the meeting isn't over.
    2. If a meeting does not have a specified end time, call the meeting convener and ask when the meeting will end. Leave at the specified end time.
    3. Bring something to work on in case the meeting starts late.

    The Rhetoric of New Media or Hypertext or . . .

    Thursday, 30 October 2008 2:48 P GMT-07
    I’m writing a syllabus for an upper division class that is tentatively titled “The Rhetoric of Hypertext,” but as I said earlier, I am wondering now if it should be called “Digital Rhetorics” or “The Rhetoric of Ne

    back in Denver and not writing RBOC for once

    Monday, 27 October 2008 2:12 P GMT-07
    Got back to work around noon, coming straight from Breckenridge and realizing too late that my office keys were at home, so had to have the cranky office guy (yes, you know who you are) open my office for me. Had a few appointments with students, wro

    night in Breckenridge

    Sunday, 26 October 2008 1:15 P GMT-07
    Last night after dinner, we came back to the condo and stood outside on the balcony and drank wine. The sky was inky and full of stars. We could hear the Blue River running by just beyond the trees and smell the pine trees all around us. It was warm

    After sleeping better on Friday night than I have in months, I slept terribly last night, having a series of bizarre and disturbing dreams, including one in which I was chased through Medieval streets by a band of angry Catholics (I truly cannot expl

    writers' retreat, day 2

    We began the day with a walk downtown to get coffee and muffins (Clint’s has the best muffins in the world, but you have to get there early to have a good selection). Back at the condo, we restructured our chapters a bit, collapsing two chapter

    Friday, 24 October 2008 2:40 P GMT-07
    Amy and I have made great progress on the book, but the first part of the book—six chapters that cover stuff we’re not nearly as excited about as we are about the rest of the book—was not getting written. Every time we tried to writ

    RBOC (late October edition)

    Thursday, 23 October 2008 7:13 P GMT-07
    This made me laugh more than anything else has in the past few weeks. I love this. I could watch it for hours straight.  I stepped up the roleplaying activities around peer response in my comp 1 class and it seems to have had the intended effect

    For the past few months, I can’t seem to sleep more than about 5.5 hours in a row, which is odd because I’ve been an 8-9 hours/night person my whole life. Since May, I sleep 5.5 hours, wake up, usually stay in bed and sometimes doze off f
