Gearing Up: The iPad Studio
For me, the iPad set up came together when I was recovering from a minor surgery. I was going to be laid up for a few days, so my wife got me this sweet iKlip so I could watch hulu in bed with comfort.

Gearing Up: Recorders
I bought my Marantz PMD 661 just before the Inauguration of President Barack Obama. It did not magically give me the happy, hope-filled audio I wanted. (We were part of Purple Gate 2009.) What I got was disappointment audio. But at least it wasn’t disappointment in my audio recording equipment.

In this piece and this piece, Jenkins talks about the intersections of rhetoric, writing, and new media.
TILTS Audio
I had the privilege of audio recording the Texas Institute for Literary and Textual Studies Third Symposium on the Digital and the Human(ities). I organized it into six parts. You can listen to them here:
