Anyone going to SAMLA in November? It's in Charlotte, NC this year. If so, come on to my panel:

50. Sexuality and Visual Rhetorics in the Advanced Writing Curriculum
Advanced Writing Session
Regular Session
Saturday – 9:45 a.m. to 11:15 a.m.
Morehead
Chair: William P. Banks, East Carolina University
Secretary: Michele Eble, East Carolina University
1. Attracting Readers: Sex and Audience in the Blogosphere – Clancy Ratliff, East Carolina University
2. Sexuality and Visual Rhetorics in the Advanced Writing Curriculum – Misty Carmichael, Georgia State University
3. Does Sex Have a History? Toward a Sexual Literacy in a Writing-Intensive Course – Robin Martin, East Carolina University

And/or, we could have a SAMLA/Charlotte area blogger meetup. Let me know.

Also, read this article about a guy who decided to take an "energy diet," in which he and his family consumed less carbon dioxide and energy. I LOVE IT. I wish similar articles were printed in newspapers once a week or so.
