Greetings from the SF Bay Area
Finland World University and School

Hi Tanja, 

How are you? Greetings from the SF Bay Area. (We met in London in 2003 I think as I was heading to the University of Edinburgh, eventually to write a paper about visiting virtual St. Kilda, in terms of nascent place & two kinds of networks, UNESCO and the Internet - https://www.academia.edu/1243940/Physical_and_Online_St._Kilda_A_Comparison_of_Senses_of_Place). And here's World Univeristy and School's St. Kilda wiki subject page for open teaching and learning ... https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/St._Kilda,_Scotland_(Hirta) ... to give you an idea of how wiki WUaS works.

Just wanted to bring to your attention Finland CC-4 MIT OCW-centric World University and School - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Finland - and planned in the Finnish language - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages ... for online MIT OCW-centric degrees, which is the other way that WUaS works. How might we best communicate further about this? 

Just created some related Tweets about this -

Scott, met another MacLeod who is works as a Celtic Fiddler who does online tutelage...a native Scot, now based in Florida (and going to Stone Mountain next), Colin MacLeod-I told him about your World University idea and he may be a great guy to reach out to...E: colinmacleod770@gmail.com; W: celticfiddleguru.com.

Hi Tammie and Colin,

Very cool! And hi Colin, here are the Fiddling wiki subject - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Fiddling - and the Celtic_Music wiki subject - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Celtic_Music - both for free open wiki teaching and learning, and eventually potentially facilitating real real time music making face-to-face in group video Hangouts, among many session possibilities. (I've lived for two separate full years in Edinburgh, Colin - at Fettes College in 76-77 and at the Univ of Edinburgh in 2003-2004 in the School of Celtic and Scottish Studies, looking at St. Kilda as a virtual place!). 

Are you in the MacLeod tribe tent at the Ventura Games for day 2, Tammie? :)

Cheers, 
Scott

Hi Scott

A pleasure to meet you.

Tammy, thank you for the introduction and the links to the World University.

My best wishes for the World University.

For the moment, I am building my own business around Celtic fiddle music and the focus is very much to develop and grow this business.

I really enjoyed catching up with Tammy and co both today and yesterday.

It was a really enjoyable experience being at the Seaside Highland Games, people really enjoying the Scottish connection, 


My best wishes for a fun and prosperous 2019.

I look forward to the opportunity to catch up in person, perhaps in 2019.


Colin MacLeod

PS I am sure you will have enjoyed your time in Edinburgh. I was there in August and the city centre was hoaching with tourists!

Hi Colin, 

A pleasure to meet you as well. 

Here's a talk I gave at the Clan MacLeod Pacific gathering in the SF Bay Area in 2011 thanks to Tammie - "MacLeod_Piping_Stories_and_Traditions_and_some_of_PM_Donald_MacLeods_Bagpipe_Music" - https://www.academia.edu/4390112/MacLeod_Piping_Stories_and_Traditions_and_some_of_PM_Donald_MacLeods_Bagpipe_Music_by_Scott_MacLeod_June_2011 . I bet you would have some good stories for such a talk. 

And FYI, here's the Hirta wiki subject page at World Univ & Sch - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/St._Kilda,_Scotland_(Hirta) - for open teaching and learning. (I had written my MSc dissertation about St. Kilda at Uni Edin in 2004). And I'm still focused on developing a realistic virtual earth - and for music-making as well. But St. Kilda doesn't look like it's accessible in Google Street View any longer. I wrote my paper partly with people visiting nascent virtual place here -  https://www.kilda.org.uk/ - in QuickTime videos etc., and 'interviewed' people who had signed its guest book - https://www.academia.edu/1243940/Physical_and_Online_St._Kilda_A_Comparison_of_Senses_of_Place.

Am an active blogger and Tweeter as you'll see below re much of this as well. 
Hold fast, and kind regards, Scott

Lovely - this tune is also in the "College of Piping Tutor Vol 1- Beginning the Bagpipes" - The Green Tutor - (Glasgow, Scotland) as The Brown Haired Maiden with similarities and differences. The Corries sing it well, and with harmony!

Hi M,

How's the furnace repair coming? How did you sleep in the cold?

Am setting up my Vimeo video account - https://vimeo.com/user12804337 - with a robotics' video - https://vimeo.com/user12804337/review/295095590/36458d9bb4 - from earlier this year, and with longer hair. (Vimeo account will be accessible here - http://scottmacleod.com - in a bit). Might head in direction of more professionalism, and w ith only a playful WUaS focus in the future. But this video might be a good example of home robotics re MIT OCW here - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/experimental-study-group/es-293-lego-robotics-spring-2007/ - and at - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Robotics - for engineering - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Engineering - with students around the world in many languages learning engineering from home.

Am developing this WUaS Instagram with more of a WUaS Law School focus - https://www.instagram.com/worlduniversityandschool/ ...

... as I wait to hear about NSF grant, and possible Stanford teaching position? ...

WUaS's two wings are better together, and P probably has the knowledge about how to set up a 'print shop' (for print and sell on demand) potentially in 300-ish languages (and eventually up to 8481 languages in Glottolog https://glottolog.org/glottolog/language), and re the Wikidata / Wikibase coders / people.

...

All's well here (to echo you - and perhaps re some past very weird situations with SF Quaker meeting, and UC Berkeley people who would benefit from psychotherapy, I think) ... Identity issues have their own contours in the SF Bay Area, I'd say as well.

Good to be giving this talk at UC Berkeley in 2 Fridays re said identity issues as well - https://twitter.com/HarbinBook/status/1050843917283864576 ... Hoping MIT Media Lab Director Joi Ito - https://twitter.com/sarahfallon/status/1051255587416170497 - and Reid Hoffman, founder of LinkedIn here ... may be referring to Northern California, and Harbin ... and questions of management of actual virtual Harbin Hot Springs' project and re https://twitter.com/Joi/status/950937574167597056 ...

Are you following the MIT Election Twitter feed? - https://twitter.com/MITelectionlab/status/1051903031535489024 ... may vote by mail here.

Music-making for Scottish Country Dancing this evening. :)

Stay warm by radiator, fire place and walking, until the furnace is fixed! And hope too a new roofer can provide new insights into the roof (Sorry I don't have a robot roofer yet to be able to analyze the complex leak, and fix it in a DIY way yet ... working on it:)

L, Scott
