Archiving and Backup
Finding some pretty striking and pretty sad draft posts in my Google Drive, which honestly I haven’t looked at in many years. I started using OneDrive and Word exclusively a while ago and cleaned out my Google Drive to save money. I put everything on my NAS and deleted it from Drive except for the…

Blogchive
I think I’ve finally done it. I’ve finally added the archive of every blogpost I’ve ever done (with a few exceptions) to this site. I think the earliest post here is now 2005 or 2006, when I was still studying rhetoric at the University of Pittsburgh. There’s not a lot of interesting stuff back in…

LiveJournal
did you ever use LiveJournal? I miss it a lot. The reason I miss it mostly is because LiveJournal existed prior to social media, and was a great way to have a social media style friends list and feed, but it was long form too. LiveJournal though was only long-form if you wanted it to…

Writing Studies
Writing studies seems so much more serious than anything going on in speech communication rhetoric to me these days. I think what’s most attractive is the focus on the idea of pedagogy.

Paper Or Plastic?
I love technology and computers and all that, but I will never be able to give up having a paper diary to keep my day-to-day life organized. I took some time over Christmas and New Year’s to chill out, and after that took this planner I ordered off the shelf and started filling it in.…

Three Movements in the Teaching of Uncertainty Rhetoric
I’ve been talking a lot about writing process with a friend, from the start of composition and generation of ideas to the way that a thesis gets mapped out, or at least how I do it. So through these conversations about something totally unrelated to this post, I’ve been thinking that most ideas for an…

A Case of Tarmac Rhetoric
It’s Friday night and normally I’m pretty energetic and excited. Tonight I’m worn out, and I think it’s because I spent most of the week working on an essay that I should have done last month. With all the changes and the almost-taking-a-buyout business I can forgive myself the slip this time. After all it’s…
