The online meeting place for Dr. Ron Bishop's classes on the cultural history and significance of fame.

Tuesday, March 27, 2007

Welcome!

Greetings and felicitations!

I've set this blog up as a sounding board/one-stop-shop for ideas, questions, ramblings, rants, and queries related to our journey through the history of fame. Please feel free to post on any subject related to the class - or on subjects barely related to the class, as well.

I hope that folks will use this space to kick around all kinds of ideas - to get started, visit www.blogger.com. Then enter "rcbsam@comcast.net" in the ID slot, and "etifwe" in the password slot. You can then post freely, early, and often.

So much for secret passwords...

Please Consider Taking My Survey

If you haven't yet taken my online pick-up games survey, and would still like to do so, here's the URL: chnm.gmu.edu/tools/surveys/form/343. Please feel free to pass along the URL to potentially interested friends and family members.

And now, a new request: I'd like to conduct short phone or in-person interviews with folks who have used websites like reunion.com or classmates.com to contact former classmates, either in anticipation of an upcoming reunion or just to catch up. Interviews will be conducted this fall, and should take less than an hour. If you're interested, or know of someone who is, please contact me via email ASAP. You can also have the interested person email or call me.

Thanks for your help!!
