And it's amazing the way random bits of information fall together when you've got a context. I'd long known how to make a soufle, of all things, but had no idea that it started with what's called a roux, which is the beginning of all sorts of things (white sauce, gumbo, etc.). On a related note, you might be interested in an article I recently read for class: Gee, James. 2005. Learning by design: good video games as learning machines. E-learning 2(1): 5-16. It's got some very interesting bits about learning and pedagogy. Hi Karin,
