This is a very nice entry, Matt. I don't have much to comment because it's not my area of expertise, but you've combined some autobiographicy with a brief review of a recent scholarly work and a mention of how your teaching will be influenced. Stuff like this is why I like reading blogs.
Posted by George at January 12, 2004 12:25 PMIn complete agreement with George. In fact, this entry won my respect for a vector of scholarship I'd probably dismiss otherwise. Still on an irreverent note, please see how your entry dovetails with the latest Strong Bad e-mail

I'll spoil the gift, at the end of the cartoon you get to play the text game if you want to.

I'll be very dissappointed if I don't see a Strong Bad paper in this year's ACA/PCA program. Alas, I don't have the time to follow through with my idea to perform a comparitive study between Strong Bad and Max Headroom.
Posted by Midnight Platypus at January 16, 2004 09:57 AMThis was a nice review, Matt - and the final line is a doozy, enough to make me bust out /Zork/ and go for a spin again (for "old times'" sake).
