nice! I wonder what kind of 'exhibit' it will be... like an art exhibit? or informational, speakers, that kind of thing... if they show internet based things, would they just be clips from them, or are they actually going to have internet connections up connected to the sites live? and how do we find out what exactly is all in the show? (yeah, I'd like to know if my sites are going to get a lot of hits during that time period, or if they're not included at all)

Thanks for the link, 'pita, but as I wrote there, I'll be busy Friday night.

Is there anything planned for the SF beekeepers this summer? Going to school in the east coast (sans vehicular transport) has made it impossible for me to take part in any meetups so far, and it's depressing to realize that I can't make it even though I'm actually in the Bay Area this week.

Monday's Lecture

[Ranger D]

Jane's presentation was awesome. I think Ariock got a lot of the main points, and you will definitely have to watch the video of it. Really interesting stuff.

Jane ended her presentation with...... a clue.

a clue..... a clue!

<cackles with delight>

I would've put this up earlier, but troubleshooting my home network at 1am is not what I call fun. The slide is attached. Essentially, it's a satellite photo of Antarctica, with a pic of Alice from Alice in Wonderland. We know this because she used the same Alice pic (although, without the background photoshopped out here) earlier in her presentation when talking about rabbit holes. I think Ariock has a photo with the top included so I hope he posts it when he downloads it off his camera.
The top of the photo got cut off when I took it, but along the top of the photo ran:

If that clue is for a geo-cache, I'm out. I've had enough winter as it is.

I find it interesting that the two longitude marks are "10" and "110" instead of the more traditional 0 and 90.

Jinxie and I (OK, just Jinxie, really) were just engoogling the intarweb, and got this:

and were sort of noodling around with the rest of it when Jane IM'd me.

The first picture is the room of the ILB exhibit. The lights are off when you go through it (the flashlights are on a table to my left, out of view). The sound is turned up fairly loud so that you are immersed in the sounds of the radio drama as you go through it (you can see the screen and speakers on the right). On the left is the janitor's closet that houses a tv and console where you can play Halo 2.

I think ariock summed up the lecture experience well. I took a lot of pictures. Here are a select few.

The first two slides of the presentation were the Ludic Worldview slide and the Curiouser and Curiouser slide. I include the HitsHerMark slide because it's cool to all of us, I think. Then the sad slide of the ILB tombstone. Finally, the last slide of the presentation, Alice in Antarctica.
