New publication out today in Book History, "Farm to Table Reading: Industrial Agriculture and Media Materiality in the Twentieth Century." This one is about how some inventors and entrepreneurs aimed to make cornstalks replace trees as the primary raw materials from which to manufacture paper to print newspapers.

Great piece on early WFMU history by @erazlogo in the new issue of LCD. Really interesting material about the John Sinclair connection.

Had a meeting across campus this afternoon and found parking in the slightly less mysterious Lot 48.

Nice day out yesterday on mid-Michigan's backroads. Someone has been using one of the Natural Beauty Road signs in Waterloo for target practice.
