		<description><![CDATA[A few days ago the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals decided that Dungeons &#38; Dragons presented a &#8220;threat&#8221; to prison security. Kevin T. Singer, an inmate at Wisconsin&#8217;s Waupun Correctional Institution, was so devoted that it raised concern among the guards. He wrote, by hand, &#8220;a ninety six page manuscript outlining the specific details of [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First person perspective is highly symbolic of the subjective point of view from which we, faced an infinite amount of available information and data, create meaning. What strikes me is how common this perspective has become as part of a larger visual vocabulary in recent years.

It even has a spiffy new title: Social Gaming and Discursive Play: Games as Communicative Exchange. This dissertation shows that video games are [&#8230;]]]></description>

You know, for purposes of fair use and the hope that seeing my own handiwork in a different context may help writing better. In this first installment, you'll find a section from the Introduction chapter, where I lay [&#8230;]]]></description>
