Do I foresee a collaborative paper entitled from Medazzaland to Metadataland on the horizon? Did I take it too far?

Andrea, you’ve hit the nail on the head here for me with reflexive modernity. The TEI class is so fascinating but I find myself distracted from the details with thoughts of what the bigger implications of such text-wrangling are for us as scholars and readers of modernism. I eagerly anticipate these conversations, in person, on bar stools, and virtually, here in our online community.

This is why you are Fearless Leader, Dean.

Yes – Duran Duran ftw. John Taylor, occasionally with a hat, is my favorite. This one’s for you!

Please tell me you’re making a Duran Duran allusion with your title. I’d love to talk more about Giddens and reflexive modernity, but my mind is now completely caught up in thoughts of Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes, and John Taylor. Yes, and the drummer and guitar player I never really cared about. (Did I mention that The Reflex video was shot in Toronto?)
