Welcome to My Optic Dome!

I guess one has to be a certain age to get that reference, right? After nearly two decades online, I've decided to put myself and my stuff out there a bit more. This delurking is nicely timed to coincide with the publication of my book How Television Invented New Media, which can be purchased here or from my publisher directly--the lovely and good folks at Rutgers University Press.

My plan for this space is to include a wide range of semi-academic musings, links, beloved virtual objects and other such frivolties for my own and your amusement. Think of it like a Museum of Sheila-tastic Technologies.

When I write I use my own voice, in the first person and my own experiences to illuminate that which fascinates me. Typically those objects and experiences fall under the rubric of visual and digital cultures, hence My Optic. Hopefully this optic, or perspective, will not be myopic but instead will illuminate what life is like here in my end of the universe. Just remember to always bring a towel, to spellcheck and proofread if you can and keep an eye out for your giant panda.
