"This is a slightly revised and cleaned up version of the video that was featured on YouTube in February 2007. I considered releasing it as an "eternal beta" in true Web 2.0 style, but decided to let it stand as is and start working on future projects. Many of my future videos will address the last 30 seconds of this video (the "rethink ..." part). Thank you all for the helpful comments on the earlier draft. It has been a great experience to connect with so many people interested in similar issues.

I received many more positive comments than negative about the song choice (great work Deus!), but if you are one of those who does not like the song just download the video and change the audio track to your liking. The video was created by me (Michael Wesch), working alone from my house in St. George, Kansas. I used CamStudio for the screen captures and Sony Vegas for the panning/cropping/zooming animations. Someday I might make a video tutorial for those who are interested."

I got this from the Bates College Library. It is Mac only.

"Written specifically to be read on the computer, _afternoon_ is a branching, multi-linear narrative about a man, his estranged wife and child, and a bizarre car accident that may or may not have included all of the above. If that sounds too scary, be assured that the technicalities are simple - you read by clicking on links, just like on the Web. Think of Cortazar, minus all that paper. And then dig right in - _afternoon_ is a lyrical, experimental landmark in the history of writing."

"Considering I found this book at one of the 80% publishers list price sales, it proved his point that books are merely fleeting objects soon to be replaced. At most time sthe book is fairly straightforward, but during some of interstitials, the paragraphs required multiple readings to understand what he was saying. I hope to get some mileage out of his argument on the Highschool poliy debate topic this year:eduation. I guess I should probably read Landow now too."
