Interactive Cowputer: September 2006
http://cowputerinteractive.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html

There is nothing in the nature of the lexia or the link, those fundamental elements of hypertext, that allows the reader to type and contribute text or provides the computer with the means to parse or understand natural language.

Interactive Cowputer: October 2006
http://cowputerinteractive.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 25, 2006. GTA - Vice City. Discuss the tension between agency and narrative structure within the game. Do you agree that narrative and interactivity can never co-exist?

http://urauar.blogspot.com/2006/08/foam-rubber-120-m-cube.html
A Whole New (Media) World. Wednesday, August 23, 2006. Foam Rubber 1.20 m cube. I like this fantastic idea. conforms to every body shape. interactive? By Arne van Herk and Sabien de Kleijn. Foam rubber 1969. Para; 1:16 pm. To me, this is not interactive in the three elements of listening, thinking and speaking, particularly as the foam responds passively in limited "squishiness". It does not remain changed. After you do something to it, and reverts back to its original shape.
