New Blog Entry
Posted 8 Feb. 2008
Just posted to Conjecture, my personal blog - an entry that delves into the darker side of my annoyance with fearmongering, rankings, ratings, and useless rubrics applied to everyday life that, for some reason, counts for "News" in some circles. I was just too irritated to ignore it. The post is, for those of you who don't like reading so much, fairly long, but you'll get used to my sanctimonious babble - you might even find it amusing or enlightening.

Two book reviews have been posted, William Gamson's Talking Politics (1992) and Richard Davis's The Web of Politics (1999). Soon to come are Edelman's Symbolic Uses of Politics and Bimber and Davis's Campaigning Online (2005). Expect new books on the tab of about one per week. Also updated was the family site, with new videos (including downloads), photo galleries, and archives available. Expect a new update to the family site fairly soon, including holiday videos and a photo retrospective of 2007.

Book Reviews
Posted 29 Jan. 2008
This is a new section. I've been reading dozens (literally) of academic books about politics, interface, digital media, rhetorics of the image and more, and I thought I'd post my favorites as I found them. Coming soon: Edelman's Symbolic Uses of Politics, DeLuca & Buell's Liars! Cheaters! Evildoers! Demonization and the End of Civil Debate, and William Gamson's Talking Politics.
