We Begin

Like a couple of media Goldilocks searching for a communication vehicle that's Just Right, Dean Greg Kannerstein '63 and I hope this blog will be a running account of life on campus as we and others here know it. Breezy. Chatty. Sometimes useful. Present tense fordness leavened with references to times and people past.




Wx today: wispy clear & chilly.

News today: biology's Andrea Morris profiled in a spinoff from Science...squares from the AIDS quilt to be exhibited tonight in the Field House (here's video coverage)...date set (Dec 6 @ 9p in Stokes) for frosh filmmaker David Burstein to screen his documentary "18 in 08".

Intriguing idea: alum proposes an iTunes aggregation point for music created by fords past and present; "HC" as record label or at least organizational label. I'd gladly pay to hear a rewind of Judy's Tiny Head or the latest from
Rick (fka "Rich") Pressler '81. To what degree might those $.99 downloads be a fundraiser for the College? Or is it enough to have the College associated with all that talent?

Now off to the Athletic Center to shoot standup greetings & goodbye for a video tour of the facility, starring Emily Hinchcliff and Andrew Kim.

yeah - at the least a discography (or would that now be an "mp3ography") of alumni and student tunes would be in order.

One can, of course, do a browse of the Bookstore's offerings, but as of this writing, they only have three CD's listed by student groups. I know the chamber singers alone have produced more that that.
