When you get to the top of your field, you get to make up words, and let everyone wonder what you're talking about. Actually you can do this anyway, but it works best if you've already got a name for yourself. I've got to hand it to Diane Larsen-Freeman- I think
Grammaring is perhaps the classic of all made-up words. She does a pretty good job of
explaining what she means; nevertheless, I'm still stuck on the word itself. How can you make this word? Does this include
verbing, nouning, articling, and adjectiving???
OK, I'll lay off. I actually admire her pluck, and as one who has freely banded around
weblogging and various others, I can't deny that we have a natural right, as inheritors of the language, to do this. It's just that the word is, well
earring, or getting stuck in my ear. Wait. I guess that one didn't work. :-)

Instead of doing what I should be doing, preparing a TESOL presentation, I'm digging up and reading old classics.

All kinds of things in here, including the two below. Written five years ago (a light-year, in this era)- they foresaw some interesting problems.

This guy didn't format or edit much. I guess if you're writing about pure philosophy, who cares? It's interesting- I've been looking for things like this.

Secret websites, coded messages: The new world of immersive games.

In this one, the leader of a rock band plays a game with the world. A big, online, immersive game. I tried to get my son interested in the possibilities- I am. I don't have a rock band, though. What's interesting is getting massive numbers of people wrapped up in a hide-and-seek kind of charade, just for marketing purposes.
Back to work, I guess...
