Digital Ethnography resources

I’ve been interested in the Digital Ethnography project at Kansas State University for a while now. Coordinated by Michael Wesch, their videos The Machine is Us/ing Us and A Vision of Students Today have done the rounds on the internet in the past year or so. But there’s more coming out of the project. Wesch’s presentation on an anthropological introduction to YouTube is interesting (but definitely longer than your typical 3 minute YouTube clip). Also the mediated cultures web site has the videos often in high resolution formats making reading some of the text in them much easier.
