09.30.2010 Thursday

Good day. The Wound Center took f-0-r-e-v-e-r but we were on their time and not our own. The doctor had not seen the surgery site for two weeks and he was pleasantly surprised with the progress Dennis is making. Den was disappointed to hear that he has another month of non-weight bearing plodding about, but the doctor reminded him that his foot had been saved and a month is not all that long in the grand scheme of things. True.

I have finally found a publication topic and it promises to be an interesting and engaging one. I also finally rode my bike to campus so that I could go to class at the CMD house on Cardinal Street. I arrived there only to find that that tour is NEXT week, so I huffed and puffed into TCOM601 to hear Michael Holmes explain eye tracking. What interesting research. When I worked at the Indy Center I knew that CMD had a presence there but didn't really understand what. It would have been great to have had that explained better, but I'm not there anymore and neither are they! I received one of the TCOM601 textbooks from Amazon today and it seems to be focused on gaming. I don't have any desire to be a gamer so I'll have to research that aspect of Digital Storytelling. I have a feeling that my interest is going to be specific and possibly on the fringe. Hopefully not too fringe-like. Also started the BF library book about Creativity. I was a tad put off when the author described what isn't creativity and then tried to "sell" his training on what is. This may not be the book for me. Went to sleep when my eyes stopped tracking. Great second week of school!
