Do keep in touch on twitter as it would be interesting to hear what you're up to. Next term I'm doing the online assessment module. I love that term Duvegas! Good luck with your assessment...I have to get on with mine post haste as I'm away over New Year..eek! Hi Neil

You have a great way of clarifying ideas and introducing apposite and enlightening examples. The same with your Tweets! It's the end of the course and I'm going to miss this aspect of the experience. Many thanks for all you have shared! The idea of Render Ghosts makes so much sense in Dubai where so many of the buildings and ideas of buildings seem to have evolved from digital images. They are all too often dismissed in the West as "Disneyland" or "Duvegas" but this course has helped me see that they are really forms of digital crossover. We were supposed to get an iPod Building that revolved. Instead, we have some amazing buildings that look like pixilated images or pieces of digital hardware. Once again, you've given me a boost and my final assignment seems a little less daunting.
