Hi Mari and Donald,

How are you both?

Some moments of animated people at Stanford yesterday in the new Anderson museum (also re http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2015/07/music-play-electric-harley-in-musrum.html) and already this morning coming to a conference here. Yesterday, a couple, possibly in their late 50s, dressed quite trippily were also acting somewhat animatedly in watching the Nick Cave "Soundscape" videos. Don't think they were doing anything except being kinds of characters, - and, I hypothesize, possibly simulating what they had learned trippily 30 years ago as students at Stanford, kind of as actors now - amusing and interestingly. 

Then this morning as I walked in from parking (getting up at 5am), this group of probably first year young women students came around the corner dressed in sweats/almost pajamas and one was wearing a crown, and she was animatedly talking to the others. Were they all in an acting class together? Had someone where they live suggested they all enact this animated scene at this time of day, saying something loudly referring to Stanford, as they passed by. Were they all in a Stanford 1st year marketing class, even? I know not ... but Stanford is interesting and smart and somehow very alive, California-wise (differently I'm sure from the '70s) ... but Stanford remembers and it's somehow soft and excellent and very well organized as well - and beautiful and caring.

Just some early morning Stanford (ethnographic?) thoughts ... :)

The Center for Internet and Society at Stanford Law School's LAW, BORDERS, AND SPEECH day-long conference (with potentially much relevance from World University ... looking for ways in which to combine a Stanford ethos and WUaS together in all countries' main languages in flourishing f/Friendly ways) begins soon.

Hope you both a good day.
