Blogging at the University of Minnesota
I received a link to this white paper today. I'm so happy that blogging is being taken seriously at the University of Minnesota. Shane Nackerud is trying to get an initiative going that would have weblog hosting on the University of Minnesota's server, looking to Harvard's model. I hope it works out.
And, on a totally unrelated note, Adrianne, the tomboy, won America's Next Top Model. Yes, you may throw rotten eggs at me now for watching trash TV. I do it to unwind! :-P

Adrianne
Tonight was the first time I happened to watch the show, but I knew Adrianne was going to win. That other girl was far too normal looking (and she refused to do a nude shoot or something).
On a related brain-drain tv note: Simon Cowell has agreed to stick with American Idol. Yay!
eggs for me too, please
Well, I didn't watch the last ep. what with being in a forgetful depressive sludge and all, but yay for Adrianne. I was hoping it would be her or Elyse. Sue me, ANTM took over Buffy's time slot, and I couldn't just NOT watch TV then, now could I? :p

I wasn't sure...
Janice Dickinson said about Shannon: "she's a princess; she can sell anything," and there was all that talk about "the couch" on The Tonight Show. They couldn't see Adrianne on it but could see Shannon, because Adrianne has that Chicago "homeboy" accent. I was also thinking about the implications of their choice. Shannon *refused* to do the nude shoot, but Adrianne happily obliged. Shannon's a good girl; Adrianne's a bad girl (smoking, cursing, etc.). Shannon is much more feminine, and Tyra described her as "apple pie." I was wondering if they would take middle America family values into consideration. Anyway, I'm so happy that Adrianne won.
The Part About Blogging
Can't figure out the commenting forum here; thought I was on the wrong entry but then realized the other comments were about the other content. Ok anyway, I'm glad to see that news re: blogging in general.
I'm not a rhet person (am lit) but blogging obviously has huge scholastic value for those willing to analyze that discourse. I'm fairly fascinated, as an observer.
