Disclaimer: this is one of those lame navel gazing posts wherein bloggers write about their own blog. I think this is Dead Armadillos' first ever such post, so cut me some slack already.
I used to have comments enabled on this blog, but no one ever left a comment. It was kind of depressing to never see any comments, so I took them off. Then someone posted a link to Dead Armadillos, along with a smartass comment that only wussies don't enable comments because they can't handle other peoples' opinions. So, not wishing to be a wussy, and also noting my readership had increased (from nothing to a little), I re-enabled comments.
So, the good news is, Dead Armadillos just received its FIRST. EVER. COMMENT. (On the post below this one). Closely related additional good news: It's actually a thoughtful comment that complements my original point.
Ready for the bad news? Not really bad news, per se, just a relatively significant caveat. The comment was
required for class credit.
Yes sir-ee bob:
DelaBlogger, a GWU grad student, has to post comments on two blogs chosen from
this list as 10% of her grade for
Political Management 218: Politics and the New Media.
Oh well, guess I should just be happy she graced
this blog with her for-credit comment instead of another one on the list.
As a
GWU alumnus myself, more recently a student at the
University of Georgia's New Media Institute, and to top it off a fellow
internet wonk, this class really caught my attention. Check out the prof's
reading list, looks like a lot of great linkage.
How come they didn't have cool courses like this when I was at GWU?
... probably because that was
before Al Gore invented the internet.
