tl;dr

Okay, so, to file away under “what was I thinking”: I’ve assigned you about three times as much reading for today as I ought to have. All I can figure is that I must have thought this was a Wednesday-to-Monday gap, rather than a Monday-to-Wednesday. Here’s what I’m going to ask you to do: read the first twenty pages or so of the Kittler, for now, and then focus in on the first chapter of the Gitelman. We’ll catch up with the rest of it later, I hope.
