Thanks! I think we’re mostly the latter, though there are some teachers and professors hanging in this thread.

Wow this is a great resource. Are all you guys teachers or just people with an interest in Nerd-ism (if you will) as a culture.

http://www.gyro.org.nz has an article on what’s geek and what’s not that may be of some interest.

I’d read that blog, Church. But you know me… (And I’d be interested to hear about your other students’ blogs if they have them, Kiri.)

And yeah, when you comment regularly on my blog and introduce me to a slew of other blogs, you get mentioned in the dissertation for sure.

Kiri, are your other students blogging too?

Jason, are you serious about the mention? That would be too cool.

Hrm. Maybe I should start a blog about blogs about nerds…

Kiri: I think getting your students blogging is a great idea. It’s more interactive between class members (not to mention the world at large!) than short response papers, and it discourages the idea that individual assignments are just ephemera. Plus, it’s a good way to teach new media skills in addition to building writing skill. (And, obviously, I’m a big supporter of ethnographers blogging, too.)

Church: You manage to remain two steps ahead of me in the geek-themed blogosphere. You’ll be mentioned in my dissertation, at least, but I’m starting to wonder if I should ask to be your sidekick or something.

Whoa. I’m having a big world/small world moment.

Let me catch my breath.

(BTW, do I get credits for any of this?)

This is awesome. The Wrock blog is by one of my students, for my Musical Youth Cultures class — this is exactly what I hoped would happen if I had them do most of their coursework in virtual public.

Neat, thanks! And that, in turn, directed me to an ethnomusicology blog focusing on Guitar Hero research.
