finally adding my comments

Dear all,
I’m so sorry I’ve taken forever to contribute to this project! I have a love/hate relationship with my computer and the technology, and that is itself a statement about my ambivalence about the technology: blogs, e-mail, news updated by the minute, radar maps tracking impending thunderstorms to time an outing at the river. Something that we see happening with this project is how — regardless of where we live — this instant documentation and recording of experience is part of a culture we all share, and adopt as the norm. Another example of how culture changes and evolves, and a definition of culture itself: what we percieve as the norm. I’ll upload samples of the work my students completed during the Spring 2008 semester at VCU, in Richmond Virginia.
