Spreading bellflower (Campanula patula): Best to be able to research, study & teach from virtual Harbin or home @HarbinBook in new WUaS Google platform g.page/world-university-and-school?share where John Hennessy is Alphabet's Head, Glad that 501 c 3 World University and School is now listed in Google for Nonprofits which is a ginormous step for WUaS * * * How to add the best of open Stanford's CULTURE - its learning, talks, thinkers professors to WUaS? - and MIT's culture? ONLINE ... and how best too to immerse oneself in online Harbin's culture with parallels to actual Harbin?



Hi M,

Am not teaching "Society, Information Technology and the Global University" - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/InfoTechNetworkSocGlobalUniv.html - this autumn, but will do so probably in spring or autumn of 2020.


Glad that 501 c 3 World University and School is now listed in Google for Nonprofits which is a ginormous step - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/08/drakaea-orchids-world-university-school.html - and that we became a parallel for-profit legal entity, the WUaS Corporation in 2017 ... which together is a very unique and great opportunity.

And I hope this step into the Google ecosystem is the beginning of building out World University and School further in that Google platform - whereby my course would be listed too there. Hope too to teach a course on Harbin Hot Springs and ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy soon too - and potentially in this new developing Google-centric platform as well.

Getting listed on Google and in Google for NonProfits is momentous - and may or should even lead to monies (which is the point of Google for NonProfits theoretically).

L, Scott

M,

You might enjoy this lovely lute music:

Dowland - Complete Lute Galliards Works/Renaissance/Lachrimae (Century's recording : Paul O'Dette)
https://youtu.be/zxD8FrR7uco ...


(And this makes me kind of 'purr' ... J. S. Bach - Sonatas & Partitas For Lute -

https://youtu.be/pTBooio3h9U)

The lutenist Paul O'Dette was born in Pittsburgh, and is a professor at Eastman School of Music, - pretty much north of Pittsburgh - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_O%27Dette

Nicely cool today - mid 70s - where the Fahrenheit 80s, upper 80s and 90s are meltingly hot here on this Canyon-ridge - and unbearable. When I went to Gray Whale Cove state beach yesterday because of the heat here in Canyon, I got another glimpse of the ever so diverse social life in California walking down the steps to beach, on the beach and in the parking lot ... there isn't a vision in the people I saw of a 'comfortable' life ahead, albeit California is rich as a state, and something like - if compared with nation states - CA would be the 7th richest nation state in the world!

 ... with some of these people living at the margins. Me-thinks this is emblematic of aspects of West coast & California / Oregon 'society' ... not sure how much and what kinds of opportunities or cultural vision there are in California, which is quite a melting pot.

I'd like to create online the extraordinary opportunities that a Stanford creates - - -  at World University & School - for both matriculated students and wiki-Universitians (teachers & learners). How to add the best of Stanford's open culture - its learning, talks, thinkers, professors & culture to inform WUaS with parallels to best STEM CC-4 MIT OCW?

Could make sense to check out & explore the Sierra mountains and other mountain ranges in California / Oregon - hot springs too - a fair amount this late summer and autumn ... may do so on my trip to Portland OR for the 14 Sept weekend.

Just connected further with Bruce Maxwell (who went to Haverford and is an architect and kind of an old hippy & Quaker too) and Jane Maxwell (I don't know if they're related or not) both of whom I know through Scottish circles here about Scottish small piping and a bicycling trip Jane took to Scotland this spring where she passed by the Maxwell castle there. And I also mentioned how I'm seeking a partner / wife / mom-to-be ... am getting the word out there. :) Bruce had mentioned a small piping focused group at one Allan Keith's house around Sebastopol (1.5 hours a way) on first Sundays - which is invitation only. Who knows but that I might meet someone at something like this?

What are you up to this week?

Love, Scott

Hi M,

How are your travels going? Are you heading to somewhere in the wilds of eastern Pennsylvania, south or central?

As I continue to circulate, I think I'd like to connect with someone who brings some cheeriness into a duet in life ... :) ... and eventually re having a family! But with whom, and where?

Happy travels!

L, Scott
