In 2008, Gary A. Olson wrote with good news. My article "Our Cyberbodies, Ourselves" had been "judged to be one of the most outstanding articles on technology published in JAC over the last two decades."

Olson and Lynn Worsham republished the piece in Plugged In: Technology, Rhetotric and Culture in a Posthuman Age.

The article makes an interesting, linguistically silly contribution to the area of Marxist-inflected cyborg theory.

In 2002, I publish my first article in JAC, the premier theory journal in Rhetoric and Composition.

Abstract: Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) software technology deserves our careful attention and considered debate, if only because it enhances our human capacity to produce writing beyond the point of familiar recognition, that is, to the point where the familiar act of writing appears strange and wondrous. For the first time in our history, at the juncture of homo sapiens and homo superior, words from our mouths produce writing that challenges the idea of speech as ephemeral activity, shifts the site of composition from hand to mouth, and increases the efficiency with which we produce written text.
