We were sitting around the GLS conference and someone - maybe it was Thomas Malaby - said Hey what about getting some more anthropologists on TN? And we said Great. And then we said Thomas what if it was a socio-cultural anthropologist like Lisa Galarneau? And he didn't say anything because he was lost in thought over the realization that anthropologists and virtual world scholars both study shards but have little to say to one another about them. Undaunted, we went to Lisa and asked her to join us. And she agreed! Lisa is indeed a socio-cultural anthropologist, writing a PhD about spontaneous learning communities in City of Heroes. We first heard of Lisa through her Social Study Games site, highly recommended. Welcome Lisa!

Actually, I was lost in thought at the grand possibilities for anthropological world domination that sprang to mind at the mere suggestion of the fabulous Lisa G joining our merry ranks. First, Terra Nova--tomorrow, the world!
Welcome, Lisa!

You neglected to mention that like me, Lisa has been swallowed by the borg, and works part-time for Microsoft. :)
So glad to have you here, Lisa!

Thanks, everyone! I'm pretty awed to be in such great company! And, Mike, I love the newly-coined adjective!

Actually, Microsoft is not the Borg. Microsoft defeated the Borg.
