Love this, Collin. Thanks so much for sharing. It’s really interesting to hear about the process that’s behind this wonderful thing called Rhetsy that we’ve all been able to appreciate. It’s also interesting to hear about its effects on you as a thinker and how its influence is working along a broader network of thinkers too. Thanks again for doing it, and sharing this behind-the-scenes look.

Hey there. I'm Collin Gifford Brooke, and I'm currently an Associate Professor of Rhetoric and Writing at Syracuse University. I'm a digital humanities person, back from before there was a digital humanities. I wrote a book called Lingua Fracta: Towards a Rhetoric of New Media, about how new media changes the ways we think about rhetoric and writing and which uses the five canons of rhetoric to think about new media. I'm interested in games, streams, networks, objects, genres, memes, and stuff. Oh, and words. Lots and lots of words.

I started blogging back in 2003, on a site called Collin vs Blog, where I banged out close to a thousand entries over the course of about 5 years. For a few different reasons, I stopped, and after a couple of different false starts, I relocated here, where I'm hoping to pick up some of my old site's momentum, start archiving myself better, and return to writing on a daily basis.
