Two ideas in one post!

A student of a friend of mine analyzed my blog for an assignment and came to the conclusion that I never blog on more than one idea at a time. I think that was a nice way of saying my blog is boring, so tonight, two ideas! Wait, not really ideas, just links.

John Walters used the phrase "OHM Thesis," to refer to the Ong, Havelock, McLuhan thesis that, in McLuhan terms, boils down to "the medium is the massage." A cultural, epistemological, ontological massage at that! I had not run across that phrase until reading John's post. John is also moving to the middle of the country (Omaha)--welcome to the fly-over, John, and congratulations. (Does that count as two ideas?)

Billie Hara at TCU linked to my end of semester angsty post about teaching (thanks!), and when I visited her site (new to me), I found that she does great work with digital photography. I'm going to have to work her work into Visual Culture and Language next time I teach that course.

I've actually got other ideas, but will save them for summer--my favorite blogging season.
