nifty. are we really still talking about McLuhan? i think even McLuhan would have moved on from pure reliance on graphs and static visuals for mass communication by now, wha’?

i suppose it’s hard to frig too much with people’s expectations for what many still perceive as an academic conference, but…even backchannels would be a start. an empty invitation to the three of you who brought your LAN cables to blog would at least show spirit. jolly good times.
