2:00 PM Detroit, Michigan

Detroit Beer, Co. Sitting at the bar. Drinking Dwarf Ale. Light taste of Belgian style (not as good as the Dragonmead Absolution I have in the fridge). The lunch crowd is thinning out. This street feels different with all the new construction. Almost as if it is coming back to life. Marback asks:
"So is composition really still what we mean? Maybe we need a new term?"

I agree. McLuhan wrote (on a similar note):

The age of writing has passed.
We must invent a new metaphor, restructure our thoughts and feelings.

I have since proposed (elsewhere) the network as metaphor (troping on Collin, of course - the blog itself is part of this network) for this work we do. Nevertheless, the time has come to stop talking about "composing." We are talking about more now.
