Readers of this blog know I’ve spent the year, my first leave in well over a decade, at an undisclosed location. Really? Isolated and secretive—and yet helped direct the international HASTAC/MacArthur Digital Media and Learning Competition? Nice trick if you can manage it. Well, I have in two ways.

Such fabulous, talented, imaginative, dedicated people—Jonathan, Mandy, Mark, Sheryl, Erin (and that’s just on the Duke side; our UCHRI partners, blogged about also on this blog) work just as hard. But, second, my undisclosed location has been mostly mental: finding a way, when not working on the DML Competition, to be mentally away. That’s lots harder than being physically absent.
