So I've expanded and tried to be multimodal in my blog posts. The final frontier within this environment is audio. Here's a link to a msnbc podcast asking whether children need cell phones. I tried embedding it into blogger but my mind is a bit fried right now which illustrates an interesting point. People may default to the mode with which they have the most familiarity with for a given medium. As someone who came to pc first via word processors my default mode is text.

My quest for multimodally has definitely expanded my "vocabulary," there I go with text based references. Well at least I'm trying.
