A Sense of Scale
Wow, I love this movie. It shows the relative scale of astronomical bodies, from Mercury (~â…“ the size of Earth) to W Cephei (almost 300,000 x Earth)Oldest posts
Scott and I were looking at groups.google.com, finding far-back references to ourselves. My earliest mention seems to be in net.jokes on “Thurs, Oct 31 1985 7:33 pm”. Scott’s was in comp.sys.mac.programmer, of all places, on “Sun, May 23 1993 12:47 pm”. I love the signature:Ahh, good old bang-paths. Who needs silly little “@” signs. I wonder if the bang-path syntax still works? Hmmm……Reid Ellis “Roads? Where we’re going, who needs _roads_?”

DisasterLand - Ronnie’s project
Ronnie has been working on a project where he and two friends from school have to design a theme park centered around disasters. Today we helped him design T-shirt logos. The one below is for the front of the shirt at the top right, while the one to the right is for the back of the shirt. It’s been a bit of a struggle to get the group of them to finish the project. There is certainly bit of a do-what-you-need-to-consider-yourself-finished mentality about the whole thing. It doesn’t help that the teacher’s “rubric” (sp?) on the back of the sheet is to vague, un-concrete (”Shows some understanding of ideas and information”) and inexplicably referring to something called a “product”. (”Develops a relistic product with limited effectiveness”) It’s like it was for another project and was cut-and-pasted for this one. I can get better rubrics at teach-nology, which I just found via Google. *sigh1983 pictures
