Married!
On Saturday, Emily and I officially tied the knot! It was a magical day, with love all around us, complemented by blue skies, a shining sun, and the warmth of some amazing friends and family. The first few pictures have made their way onto Flickr here if you fancy a glimpse of our wonderful day!
As you might imagine, Emily and I are off to enjoy some quality time together, so I will be completely out of touch – no email, no blogging, no Flickr, no Facebook – until we return on June 25th. This also means any comments left here that require approval (which all comments from first-time posters do) won’t be confirmed until then either (please don’t be offended by the delay).
In the meantime, have fun, and maybe watch In Media Res around June 18th for something that’ll get your Spider-Senses tingling!

More LOL Theorists, Now with Self-Reflexivity!
I am more than litte pleased to see my two LOL Therorist Henry Jenkins pictures have come to Henry’s attention and he’s actually reposted them in his own blog!
Of course, that couldn’t possible be the end of the circle, so …
Make sure you continue to tune in to LOL Theorists for all the academic hijinx; or, if you’re really busy, perhaps just check out the Henry Jenkins channel! 🙂

Well, something really good did come out of the hoax Dutch “Kidney Donor Show”. Not only did the show did create (worldwide) awareness of the scarcity of donor organs, but 12,000 TV viewers signed up by text messaging to become future donors.
