Tuning in by remote

Good morning! Once again, I am coming to you from the console in my phil classroom. It is finals hand-in period, so I will be conferencing with students as they come and go for the next hour and a half or so.

I sure hope this rain lets up for the Solstice Parade, but regardless of the weather, there will be a warm and festive time at brekkies on the ridge as well as at the parade itself! If there is any inclemency, it just makes it that much more important for all of us to dress festively, even garishly. And we must all insist that Otis wear her coconut bikini regardless! Scroll down and you'll find all the details, if you haven't already.

Our great and good friend Wheylona has posted details of her garage sale. It definitely sounds like something to check out: there's lots of good stuff to be had, even if you can't have the industrial stapler, because I already called dibs on it.

So, howcum, in light of how much geekishness as runs through group, there has been no mention of Batman Begins? Do we just not care about Batman movies any more? Does any want to go see this?

If we do, it can't be next Friday, because that's The Name-of-the-Game-is-Goodbye-Wheylona Party! More on that soon.

Yah, I played with it this morning. It appears the schematic of the dymaxion three-wheeled car was just a leetle beet too wide for the sidebar*. I replaced it with a photo of the classic King Kong model from the sixties.

*At least for some Wintel/IE combinations; Macs could generally figure it out fine. This might be a place for me to plug Firefox as an alternative browser; I like it lots better than IE.

Regarding "Batman Begins:" Haven't had the psychic energy to become enthused about it. Funny. Remember waiting in line all day for the first Tim Burton one. It's playing at the FABulous "Des Moines Theater" (formerly an..er, uh "art-house" movie theater where the "back in the day" admission was a couple of bucks and an overcoat). Lately it's abandoned it's "last-stop-before-video" reputation, and maybe even it's $3.00 ticket price.

Mentioned it to K, who feigned interest. "What's this one about?" "It's about his origins and how he came to be Batman." Exquisite pause. "What, again? Isn't that all of them?"
