When You Need a Break from Writing Your Paper

When you need a break from writing your papers you might relax by watching cheddar cheese age at Cheddarvision.tv. Today's New York Times reports that Tom Calver, a cheese maker in England, has installed a web cam above a 44 pound hunk of aging cheese and become an instant media sensation. When you tire of watching the cheese age you can participate in the site's online forum, visit the cheese's MySpace page, and go to YouTube for a 3-month time lapse version of the video. I'm not kidding. Networked Public Cheese Making has finally arrived.

Hey Coventina! I am sitting in my networked public culture class write now, talking to Paul Jay, the teacher of the class and the author of this blog. And the whole class is buzzing about you! How did you happen upon us? I believe you are our first out of class visitor, and as we're studying the network, we'd love to know how you found the blog.

Nothing quite like cheese online to bring people together, hu?
