Here’s an awesome video that conveys the power of the web as a communication tool:
This clip was produced by Michael Wesch of the Kansas State University anthropology department. I found it via blogarsay, though I suspect it’s been making the rounds. (I’m very out-of-touch with the blogosphere lately.)
Pam will be pleased to know that I sprang forward my clocks today. That’s right — for the next month, I’ll be living a world that’s one hour ahead of yours. I’m a time traveler.
Speaking of the Proffitt-Smiths: Happy birthday, Mackenzie! Mac is 33. He’s getting old.
I’m having a hell of a time deciding what to pick for book group. I need to announce my selection on Saturday morning. We’re discussing Undaunted Courage, which is, in part, about the Lewis and Clark expedition. I love this real-life adventure stuff, and am fascinated by history. It would be great to find a similar book, but for the periods 1810-1850 or 1870-1900. (Note how I’m intentionally avoiding the Civil War.) I’m considering The Devil in the White City, but I’m afraid that maybe it’s too strong for Lisa. Lonesome Dove is another possibility, but it’s l-o-n-g. I know that Kris, Bernie, and I would finish it, but I don’t know how many other members would. Any suggestions?
Thanks for the bday wishes J.D. Lonsesome Dove IS long, but it is a very fast read once you get in to it–and since when were you worried about the length of a book? It’s one of my favorite stories of all time.I would think that most people would be more willing to read Lonesome Dove than Proust (Ha!). Also, I was wondering about Undaunted Courage. Do you think I would like it? Is it as good as Bounty?
I think most people would rather read the dictionary than Proust.
Ahem. Well, since you asked, there’s always…
Big Trouble. But, of course, you’ll ignore me this time as always…
I was a lot happier to read about how smart you thought I was rather than your crazy clock habits!
