Stuart helped us to imagine and hatch Grand Text Auto, but due to the many other demands on his time he has not been able to post regularly and has asked not to be listed on the main page. We appreciate Stuart's help and encouragement, wish him well in his teaching, his creative work, and his forging <a href="http://iat.ubalt.edu/">a new program</a> at the University of Baltimore, and we hope that whenever time permits we'll still get to read some posts and comments from him.)

Hopefully this will be a way to formally continue the discussions we started to have at the e-lit dinners at Moti Mahal in Chicago. (Not that there was anything particularly formal about those dinners, or this blog.) Welcome Scott!

I feel like that geeky kid who was sitting at the junior high school lunch table all by himself and just got invited over to the cool kid's table. I'll try to post something worthy now and again. Seriously, it's an honor to join four of the new media scholars/creators I admire the most in this what you call it "discourse community." All Best, Scott Hey guys,

Thanks for inviting me to join GTA. I feel like that geeky kid who was sitting at the junior high school lunch table all by himself and just got invited over to the cool kid’s table. I’ll try to post something worthy now and again.

Seriously, it’s an honor to join four of the new media scholars/creators I admire the most in this what you call it “discourse community.”

All Best,

Scott

Perhaps the blog networks would have been a completely different social scene than the one in the corridors. Perhaps the bullies would beat you up if you didn't link to them? Looking forward to Scott's posts here, anyway :) I’m just trying to imagine whether junior high would have been more or less awful with blogs.

I know you by your work, though we've never meet in person. I hope we have a chance to meet at some shindig soon (wherever the freaks and geeks hang out). Scott, welcome to GTxA!
