Hi M,

Happy birthday!

Scottish Country Dancing was fun last Wednesday ... but in ongoing self-analysis - consciousness/thinking - and re growing World Univ & Sch too: ... And while SCD was really fun "neurophysiologically" (as I think about it, and experienced it during / afterward - and even re thinking about how to research SCD with brain wave headsets; could dancers wear Google Glass as we seek to focus on deriving an unique brain datagram for individuals (if this doesn't already exist, and which could be used even for voting in Zimbabwe, for example, in lieu of thumbprints, which aren't that effective as identifiers anyway supposedly), and perhaps an unique happiness  brain data gram too for (each of 8) dancers?) ... And society stuff also emerges in my mind ... and there at SCD in Mountain View, CA ... and while this SCD is somewhat Scottish in America, which I appreciate, and also find affirmative  ... these groups are not necessarily freedom-oriented in the way that the 1960s and '70s were, and to some degree Dad, in his own thinking, and I am (am a bit of a individualist) ... as well as with my traveling to Harbin and writing an ethnography about it ... was/are/were ... And while I could become a member of this RSCDS ("Royal Scottish Country Dance Society" - but I doth protest the word "royal" - which often hasn't been perchance in history) group in July, with some benefits - especially of membership to this solitary orangutan-thinker of your son - but also with some costs, this decision could depend partly even on whether I might head to Scotland in a few years with kids. C?

Hi M,

Happy Easter! May head over to SF for a picnic with Koh, Ants and possibly Scot and others in the Golden Gate park today.

Hoping a virtual choir will emerge eventually in real real time in a Google Live Hangout on Air ...
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Virtual_Choir ...
and re UU choirs, and for all kinds of choirs and instrumental music-making together. Could be fun to listen to you and the UU choir sing, and even to sing with you in Pittsburgh from the SF Bay Area - eventually.

Am wondering how the WUaS Co forking will go further. An a bit nervous about this. Would like to have M and B join, whom were both on a panel at StAnford Law, on board as active WUaS Co Board members. Unfolding.

Am re-reading Tolkien's "Fellowship of the Ring," his first book in the Ring trilogy, which foilows the Hobbit - with consciousness/thinking about his language, and why this is so compelling, engaging, wonderful even. In the art of story telling {in my reading of Tolkien's writing}, I enter into a linguistically created world that doesn't exist - quite comfortably. He wrote this for his son I think, and there are wonderful leaps of naming.

Am curious too whether and how one/WUaS could create a whole high school and college curriculum out of/ beginning with Lego WeDo 2.0 and Lego Mindstorms, Just send these kits to highschoolers in New Zealand (eg Alan MacKenzie's sons), and Ghana, and build a MIT OCW-CENTRIC curriculum from this. These kids wouldn't necessarily go to MIT otherwise, but they could get quite a HS/college education from their homes nevertheless. :)

Happy Easter! (And happy birthday! :))

Hi M, 

Happy, happy birthday! Curious if we'll be talking like this in our 112s-es ... so add on 26 or so years for you ... and re Bilbo Baggins and Tolkien's "hundred and eleventh or eleventy-first year" - http://www.henneth-annun.net/events_view.cfm?evid=1279 ... 

"Proudfoots, repeated Bilbo. Also my good Sackville-Bagginses that I welcome back at last to Bag End. Today is my one hundred and eleventh birthday: I am eleventy-one today! 'Hurray! Hurray! Many Happy Returns!' they shouted.... This was the sort of stuff they liked: short and obvious."

Here's the Longevity wiki subject at WUaS - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Longevity.

And you might enjoy the second half of this - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/04/blue-marble-lessons-from-yoga-for.html ... Check out the Earthquake Bot video from Lego in particular ... how to generate the randomness of the toppling of the building in video into a realistic virtual earth - and each time this little earthquake bot runs and the buildings topple differently? :)

Am attaching a birthday picture of two Easter egg wee pineapples ... an auspicious something for your 29th birthday, again! :) ... something possibly to paint even ... although I bet you can find a painting or drawing object which is more interesting! :)

And here's an article about Conor Lamb's election confirmed - https://twitter.com/lthomas_pg/status/980836883751165953 - from Lillian.


Happy birthday!
