Anyone down for an IRC meetup tomorrow night WEDNESDAY at 10:00 p.m. EASTERN time. Eastern whatever time... if it's daylight time, then EDT, otherwise EST. I just need one person, say galen or ButterflyEffect or, the ever-wondering wasoxygen -
It's Rosh Hashanah too, but I've moved my Rosh Hashanah back a few days. (Note: You're not normally supposed to do that; it would be like unilaterally celebrating Christmas on December 27) An IRC meetup would be a nice way to celebrate official Rosh Hashanah.
It's a Wednesday. I have tomorrow off all day. My class was cancelled because: GET THIS - Some Ministry of The Government of Ontario wanted to make an announcement so they booked my classroom for the WHOLE DAY. Granted it's a very cool classroom. They call it the Fish Bowl. But guys, really - the whole day?
I'm sure my totally swamped, overworked class were happy to have a reprieve, a snow day so to speak. So was I. A couple of days after the class was cancelled, the department found me a permanent alternate room for when the Government shows up, but it seemed too late to uncancel the class after everyone had been so relieved.
Probably this is too short notice for an IRC meetup. Even so, here's a suggested theme for discussion, based on a recent post by NotPhil:
- Everyone is born with a mind, he writes, but it is only through introspection, observation, connecting the head and the heart, making meaning of experience and finding an organizing purpose that you build a unique individual self.
a quote from "Becoming a Real Person"
Bring a drink. I'll hunt for some Scotch. Didn't John Oliver say Scotch "tastes like a delicious housefire"?
