Administrative note

With reliable Internet access finally restored, I'm slowly typing in entries I've written the last few weeks. I started with the shorter ones, but here's a preview of what's to come if you're interested in coming back tomorrow evening and reading up. (Note: the awesomely substantial posts are the ones I've put off posting until later tonight/tomorrow, so it's really in your best interest to come back and look for the new ones.)

Among the highlights:

July 8: Day one of digital divide, in which our heroine explains why she doesn't think the argument is all it's cracked up to be. Really.
July 11: Day two of digital divide, in which our heroine softens the blow and explains why she's not crazy.

July 14: You call yourself an influential? Our heroine explains that the concept of an "influential" is nothing new, and points you toward some studies done back in the 1920s, when they were called "opinion-makers."
July 15: Our trusty blogger explains why she thought this week's class speaker (and the people whose ideas she was discussing) was slightly off when explaining how an influential works and how ideas are spread from the engaged folk to the rest of the population. You'll especially want to see this one.
