The Pleasures of Computer Gaming May 12th, 2008 Essays on Cultural History, Theory and Aesthetics Edited by Melanie Swalwell and Jason Wilson “This collection of essays situates the digital gaming phenomenon alongside broader debates in cultural and media studies. Contributors to this volume maintain that computer games are not simply toys, but rather circulate as commodities, new media technologies, and items of visual culture that are embedded in complex social practices. Apart from pla
Limuzina

Limuzina Aseara m-am plimbat cu limuzina. Era lunga, cum ii sta bine oricarei limuzine. Era cald si bine. Luminitele de pe tavan sclipeau haios, isi schimbau culoarea tot la o secunda. Diverse chestii luminoase se vedeau prin jur. Alaturi de mine, doua femei de virsta a doua, secretarul general al partidului PNTCD, inca un domn, istoric - amindoi aveau niste esarfe galben cu albastru, cu insemnele partidului. Si inca o fata, probabil de la PR. Ne-au recoltat din Drumul Taberii, din statia de

Bizarre: Paul Hollis Announces Candidacy for Senate on CoinNews.Net
posted on Sun, 11 May 2008 15:52:06 -0700
A few days ago, Mandeville Republican and rare coin dealer Paul Hollis announced his candidacy for the United States Senate on — fittingly– CoinNews.net, referring to himself as “nationally-known,” which will definitely prove to be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Hollis will be challenging John N. Kennedy, who he refers to as a “perennial candidate,” for the Republican nomination, the winner of which will face Senator Mary Landrieu in the fall. Hollis describes himself in the third person (The ar

Thoughts on Obama/Wright

Humid Haney featured his own “Beware the Terrible Simplifiers” post, in which he transcribes Bill Moyer’s entire remark on Jeremiah Wright. After reading the comment thread– and discovering the way in which at least one Republican feels about the implications of this story, I decided to add in my two cents. I’ve been wanting to follow-up on this story, considering I’ve posted about it twice in the past. Plus, with the amount of time the media has spent superficially covering the story, it’s wo

Taking a break from writing to post a few links: Via a Twitter connection, I just found out about David Modigliani’s new documentary, Crawford, which looks at the impact of George W. Bush’s presidency on his adopted hometown. One of the details revealed in the trailer is that Bush and his family only moved there a few months before he ran for the president. Also notable is how attentive the documentary is to the ways in which the image of Crawford is a construct of the news media, as TV came
Storytelling, Virtual Worlds and Fan Communities

I have been watching a remarkable video of a talk by Professor Henry Jenkins, head of MIT’s Comparative Media Studies Department. He is the author of the book Convergence Culture: Where Old and New Media Collide and his talk was remarkable because it was held in the Teen Grid of Second Life and the subject was Fan Culture and how that phenomenon interacts with virtual storytelling but also with real world ethics. I found out about the video thanks to the New Worlds Notes. The distinguished pro
