Good job, Wesley. It wasn’t easy to find information about transmediation. I had a couple of other choices, but they weren’t directly focused on the topic. I agree that we could pay more attention to it.

As to the ‘how do you write’ meme, I’m working on a piece that indirectly addresses the question. It’s a hard question - almost like, How do you teach?

I’m excited you linked to the WikiPedia article for transmediation, Doug! That is the first WikiPedia article I actually started, after I heard the term for the first time in a literacy class I took a couple of summers ago. I agree it is a critical concept, and more we should be talking about more. Thanks for the link to indexed. Also, if you have a chance I’d love to hear your thoughts on the how do you write meme!

Agreed, Hugh is not only a great cartoonist, but a shrewd commenter. I love his recent random notes on blogging post.

Thanks for the movie link, Doug, that was cool.
