Oh hi
Posted by: dkoupf on: June 27, 2010
Recently I’ve gotten the urge to rejuvenate this blog. I’m getting going with a big project that has something or other to do with scrap writing or patch writing… or collage… or compilation… or collecting — uh, basically taking stuff and putting it together, usually in some written form. So, maybe I can use this [...]
Scrapdate
Posted by: dkoupf on: October 24, 2009
Ugh, I’m becoming one of those bloggers who never updates her blog. My semester has been a bit crazy, and even at my laziest moments, I haven’t found my way over here in quite a while. So, I guess an update’s in order: The National Day on Writing was this past Tuesday, October 20. My [...]
My National Gallery of Writing

The main goal of this initiative seems to be to recognize and celebrate the writing people are doing these days and [...]
CFP
Posted by: dkoupf on: July 18, 2009
A cool call for papers dealing with ephemeral texts — their value and how to work with them (especially given recent technological advancements in the preservation and dissemination of texts) — is located here. (Why doesn’t it include rhetoric and composition as one of the many “cfp categories” into which it’s placed?)
On Anonymity, Collecting, and Connecting
Posted by: dkoupf on: June 16, 2009
A great video by a student in one of Mike Wesch’s Digital Ethnography classes at Kansas State University featuring: Found, Post Secret, Fmylife, Facebook, Twitter, and Mortified and commenting on: collecting, archiving, and soul-searching; anonymity, treasured objects, networks, and scrap writing, of course.
