Laura and I share the relief of Lloyd and many others that a BART settlement was reached, thus averting a strike. Living in Albany, we have some more options than many. I could have taken the bus, driven to campus, dug out my bike from my old place, or even walked. But it was nice to return to the BART station this morning, the station to which I had said an uncertain good-bye the day before.
The SF Chronicle review confirmed for me that "March of the Penguins" would be a fun one to see.
On the fourth of July, I had my first taste of watermelon in a while. Wonderful. Now, when I walk around, I notice the watermelons that are all around me, markers of summer.
What I wrote on Sunday: Before I dive into the huge amount of stuff I have to do today, on this lazy, sunny, restful Berkeley Sunday afternoon, I will take some time to write. This morning, I heard a fantastic and challenging sermon by Josh McPaul, in which he challenged the congregation to move beyond fear and pride as the basis for building community. I'm now sitting in my old home office, trying to sort out the myriad tasks before me. I read a number of articles today, including:
a bunch from the "remix" issue of Wired Magazine
The New York Review of Books: The Tragic Tale of a Genius, a review of a new biography of Norbert Weiner
Visualcy (Christianity Today Magazine) by Andy Crouch, who mentions Flickr.
