The end of our first day at the Academy and what a full and fruitful day it has been. The speakers were without exception, excellent and I am really looking forward to the rest of this week and next.

Just need to watch the calorie consumption!

We ended our day with a reading circle to discuss articles around Nicholas Carr's
"deep reading" and "deep thinking" in relation to Archie Dick's article about the quality of apartheid prisoner's reading and relating that to Debray's idea of the graphosphere as part of the mediasphere.
