MediaCommons and Post-Identity
Just wanted to mention that I have a new article in a special issue of the journal Post-Identity. The special issue focuses on the topic of "New Writing for New Media" and features what looks like a great collection of essays on videoblogging, e-cinema, and other similar topics.
I'm planning to write up a longer report about this week's MediaCommons editorial board meeting when my allergies stop raging, but I will say that the meeting itself was very exciting. We were introduced to a number of new publishing technologies that will enable much more flexible uses of text and video, but I think we also had some valuable conversations about rethinking peer review and academic community (Jason Mittell has some valuable comments about these topics). Look for a number of exciting projects in the near future. By the way, Faye Ginsburg's In Media Res post on Amanda Baggs' video, "In My Language," is worth checking out.
Oh, and while we weren't rethinking the concept of peer review, some of us even played some serious Wii Tennis. Check out my killer backhand and my mad volley skills.

That does look like a killer backhand. You're so fast you're almost invisible.

I paid for it the next day with a serious case of Wii elbow.
