Je découvre ce nouveau carnet portant sur des questions de santé et d'inégalités sociales tenu par Melanie Rock, une étudiante post-doctorale au GRIS... Je cite un de ses récents billets, j'aurais pu en citer 7-8 !

Virtual reality, and in reality... Gamers may soon find that they can score McDonald's simulacra. "Shakes, fries, and pimply-faced employees are irrevocably etched on to every CD of The Sims Online," according to a critical review, originally published by Shift and reprised by AlterNet, which urges consumers to take (virtual) action.

"Actually order and consume virtual McD's food, then use The Sims Online's 'expressive gestures' [feature] in creative ways. Lie down and play dead. Emote the vomiting, sickness, or fatigue that might overcome you after eating a real life McNugget," is one suggestion, provided for would-be rebels to follow. [Melanie Rock]

Introductory Article: The Art of Blogging - Part 1

Quote: "Blogging is using a new medium for what it is good for - connecting and interacting. Blogging is a first generation tool built on, and taking advantage of, the unique attributes of the Internet. It has been dismissed as a self-centered passing fad...and as the new model of interactive journalism, communication, and learning. This article explores the the uses, benefits, implications, and art of blogging."

Comment: George Siemens gives a nice introduction on what makes Blogging appropriate to its medium. [David Carter-Tod]
