The final days of my stay in Denmark were occupied with some great conversations with new colleagues at the 360 conference on instructional text. I was very pleased to see the wide variety of perspectives taken and I learned a lot. I expect to be processing things for some time, but for now I'd like to post some thoughts that came from (and because of) Carmen Maier's talk analyzing an instructional/promotional DVD package distributed by Kodak.

Of questionable health for some time now, I think my iBook finally croaked today for good. The good news is that I have been preparing for this moment for some time and have good backups, etc.
