Gibson, Affordances and more

There are some interesting posts on brightlycoloredfood. Chad Thornton's interaction design perspective on online social interaction in many ways complements the social-science perspective and interestingly enough he draws on some of the same sources, such as JJ Gibson. Links:
Affordances and Visual Perception
Gibson Affordances and Norman Affordances (which links to an interesting article: McGrenere, Joanna & Wayne Ho (2000) "Affordances: Clarifying and Evolving a Concept." In: Proceedings of Graphics Interface 2000, Montreal, May 2000. Available: [pdf])
Participatory Game Design
Then I also ran across the 1997 Coverweb: Gender and Electronic Discourse issue.
I didn't know Jon Courtenay Grimwood had his own website, that looks like it's been around for a while. I bought two of his novels which I meant to read while on holiday in Australia, but I never got around to them; I moved them to the top of my 'to read' stack. I actually stumbled into Grimwood's site through a page on virtual girlfriends and virtual idols. The old index to the site is here.
Furthermore: Winslade, J. Lawton (n.d.) "Teen Witches, Wiccans, and "Wanna-Blessed-Be's": Pop-Culture Magic in Buffy the Vampire Slayer." In: Slayage, The Online International Journal of Buffy Studies. Available: [html]

Since MT-Blacklist inexplicably stopped working I had no other recourse than close comments and trackbacks to stop the spam. I've been meaning to correct this for quite a while, but life got in the way... in a good way I should add.
