Interactivity - Writing - Thou
I have the honor of daily visits from Bruce Wolcott's "Writing for the Web" class (I believe that's the title) at Bellevue Community College in Washington, where I used to teach as well. AoaN has had more varied interactivity than its seen in a long time, and I'm loving it. It's an assignment for them, it's a breath of fresh air for me. And, a worthy distraction...
For Those of You from BCC
I encourage you to dig deeper into the archives for earlier postings. That's the power of Internet writing, the concept and execution of the hyperlink. You'll find an array of topics from which to
choose, and I will do my best to respond to you intelligently and concisely. That's my plan and pledge, at least.
For fun, check out DareToPlay under "Other Projects." You'll be taken the homepage for another project of mine, an interactive storytelling concept that you may find interesting for the subject of your class, but even moreso because Bruce is involved in another project there. Follow the links to Education/Training. The case study on that page is a project that Bruce and I have been working on for some time, "DareToPlay2Learn", a collaboration between BCC, DareToPlay and the Seattle Central Public Library. You can even try out the adventure by clicking through to the homepage. Enjoy it!
For Those of You from the Rest of the World
Feel free to jump into the interactivity. All responses are welcome, and yours are completely unrelated to a grade!

And thank you for that engaging posting, Krystin. I will gladly sign the book for you and arrange a winery tour where I work, should you make it to Napa. And if you ever have any questions about it, feel free to contact me directly (through my email in the right column).
Should you (or anyone else) run into any difficulty with Amazon or other online bookstores, I recommend going directly through Booklocker, who is the company that prints/publishes AoaN. You can go there by clicking on the book cover icon in the right column.
And as an FYI to anyone who wishes to buy a book that is printed through a POD (Print On Demand) company, or anyone who ever wishes to publish their on book through POD, I add the following. The difficulty one might have is that while Amazon or Barnes and Noble says they have copies in stock, they don't. They order them from directly Booklocker and then send them to you. It might take a bit longer than 3-5 days, though I don't know exactly. If you went to a brick and mortar bookstore, it could take up to 6 weeks!
If interested, I have posted more info on POD publishing in March.
Hello Jonathon,
I have enjoyed reading your blog, though I do not have the time right now to read everything. However, as your governor has said, "I'll be back."

Hi,
I have stopped by your blog. I must confess, I couldn't read all of your two chapters. But that's the beauty of the Internet - there's something for everyone. I think the design of it is great, however. The color background choice makes the pictures "pop".

Sharon - Time is everything. Oh, if I could hold it in a bottle! Arnold and I will watch for your return.
Deslie - At blogspot, they don't give you a lot of options about color(or didn't earlier in the year when I started all this), so I'm thankful they offer this. It's important not to get too wacky; one needs to keep the visula easy on the eyes. Computer screens are hard enough for one to visually digest.
Hi Jonathan --
I enjoyed reading your blog. I took one of your classes at BCC, and I tried to take another Spring of 2005 -- Game 297 "The Dare To Play" class. Unfortunately it was cancelled, and by default I ended up enrolling in another (not so good) Game class that quarter.
I hope to someday experience Dare To Play, perhaps at BCC or at the Seattle Central Library.
Best wishes,
Laury Kenton
Yes, I remember, Laury. Great to see your name here on my blog. I regretted that the game 297 class was cancelled because the first class was a great experience, but one that the second one would have improved upon.
You can experience DareToPlay by going to the website and clicking through to entertainment. Our project that was honored at the Sundance Film Festival is there, "Operation: Siren". That will give you an idea of what we do.
I'M TOTALLY FREE FROM HERPES VIRUS
Herpes is a serious and recurring condition that cannot be cured by drugs or injections by USA Doctors. But the best way to fight and get rid of herpes virus permanently is to take natural herbal remedies, I red about DR JAMES, the great herbal Doctor, who cures people of HIV virus with his powerful herbal medicine. I contacted him to find out how he could help me and he told me never to be worried that he would help me with the natural herbs medicine! After 2 days of contacting him he told me the medicine is ready and he sent it to me via DHL COURIER SERVICE and it got me in 3 days! I used the medication as he prescribed for me (MORNING and EVENING) and I was cured! It's really like a dream, but I'm so happy! For people suffering from the following diseases Alzheimer disease, Eczema,Shingles,MS,Bullous Pemphigoid,Diabetes, cancer,Pcos, hypothyroidism,vaginal rashes, Herpes, COPD, HIV, arthritis, Hpv, liver disease, autoimmune diseases, Parkinson's disease, Lupus and more should contact him for his herbal medicine, because I am a living witness and I was cured of herpes virus. and DR James medicine is legitimate. I sent him what he asked for and he sent me his medication which I took for 2 weeks and today I am here with a negative result. When I went for the test, I was so happy after I took his herbal mix medicine.CONTACT DR JAMES FOR A PERMANENT CURE Email: drjamesherbalmix@gmail.com
He's a good man and he will help you
