Weather: The two-day windstorm is over! There was a light dusting of snow, but the roads weren't too bad on the way to work this morning.
Wildlife Report: White seagulls are perching on the light poles around our campus, instead of the big, black ravens.
Watch out where you park!
I think the wind might have blown them down from the dump. (5 miles north of here.)
Charity Alert: The Hunger Site : Give Food for Free to Hungry People in the World
Media Watch: Still reading -- finished Data Smog from 1998, and picked up another "computer & people" book from 1972. This one was written by someone who'd operated IBM equipment at Los Alamos in 1946 (B.C. = Before they made Computers) and pioneered a time-sharing mainframe system at Dartmouth College in the 60's. His perspective on computer history, and his extrapolations from three decades back are interesting.
At the College: A full day of training students to use the Kron video editing system. Now they can make their OWN TV shows! I think I'll look at ways of putting yesterday's project onto DVD -- Prof. Hegland's instructional video might work well when it's multi-tasked with the actual software.
