Hi Donald and Mari,
There's a little Grateful Dead history here I didn't know, Donald -
http://www.terrapincrossroads.net/about-us/
And I even started doing a little GD "time travel" (tourism?) in Google Streetview (without time slider, at first) ...
The way this journey began was that I had re-tweeted this birthday greeting to Phil Lesh ~
Happy Birthday Phil (~):} ~ https://twitter.com/grateful4dead/status/842003624247103488 - to https://twitter.com/HarbinBook and https://twitter.com/scottmacleod and I started to click through some of the Youtube links. And I found this recent show -
Bob Weir & Phil Lesh 3-6-17 TXR
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpMxumwa5-Y
- and was liking what I was hearing (but not as much as the GD themselves mostly pre-1980) and wondered what TXR referred to. Somewhere in Texas? It refers to Terrapin Crossroads at 100 Yacht Club Drive in San Rafael, actually (I bagpiped at a gig in the Sausalito Yacht Club in Sausalito a few years ago) ... And in the above article I saw mention of 5th and Lincoln San Rafael where some of the Dead moved in in around 1970 ... (and the Grateful Dead Ticket office down the street) ... "In 1970, the band’s management and administrative team moved into a house at 5th and Lincoln, where they would remain until 1995 " ... so I looked this corner up in Google Streetview and found - https://www.google.com/maps/place/5th+and+lincoln+san+rafael/@37.9734586,-122.5236213,3a,75y,191.14h,90t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1stmS3y0uHQTZQbY6lGGXzag!2e0!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x7a5c81e71ebd8cb8?sa=X&sqi=2&ved=0ahUKEwi22OnYreDSAhVG52MKHSeWBkoQxB0IGjAA
- but couldn't tell which was their house. Looks like there's 5 TIME SLIDER views between 2008 and 2016 in Google Streetview ... not back far enough ... {And we can't convert Youtubes into 3D virtual world software yet either}
Here's the Harbin gate too in Streetview - tinyurl.com/p62rpcg - accessible here too https://twitter.com/HarbinBook (I think the Dead all visited Harbin - some made acid in Fern kitchen there in the '70s even, I've read) ... and as you may know, I'd like to create a virtual Harbin for actual virtual ethnographic comparative research, and at the cellular and atomic levels as well - for something I'm calling ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy ... http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy ... maybe the Phil Lesh and Bob Weir (SFFM's L.P. knows Bobby Weir I think ... ) could help orchestrate this in a great way, and hippy commercially too ...
Thanks again for Phil Lesh's great and inspiring book, David - "Searching for the Sound: My Life with the Grateful Dead" - a couple of years ago ... Methinks Terrapin Crossroads is doing the commercial thing in a good way - restaurant and music - and thanks to Phil Lesh perhaps and emerging out of the Grateful Dead ... which have long done the hippy commercial thing fairly well ... and I'm glad Phil is smiling a lot in these pictures.
This video and Terrapin Crossroads also leads me to think about how to create anew great energy and music like the GD did in the 1960s and 70s and re Friendly-informed online wiki CC OCW World University and School ... and even with music jamming there at WUaS ... http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Musical_Jamming ... http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Grateful_Dead ... and in a realistic virtual earth with real, real time music-making ... :)
Just a Saturday morning F/friendly musing, Donald and Mari ...
Friendly regards,
Scott

Hi M, (E and L),

Here's the great Don Knuth, Stanford Computer Science Professor Emeritus - https://twitter.com/
https://plus.google.com/+
Don Knuth on email, which he hasn't used since 1990 ...
https://www-cs-faculty.
He's great, humble, brilliant and a good soul - was glad to have met and talked with him ... interesting to see what's come of the Computer Science stew of have being at the heart of Stanford's CS department since the 1960s ...
I asked the first question to this Stanford Computer Science panel ... what makes the culture of the Stanford CS department over its 60 years different from the cultures of other great computer science departments in the US for example? Nils Nilsson, former dept chair, replied publicly to my question that Stanford CS was adaptive to the students ... making CS not boring for them ... and Don Knuth, later on the stage, where I met and talked with him, said it was the Stanford CS department's teaching, I think ... they're all really smart and conscious even ...
Below is a "Deep California" further email I just sent to Donald and Mari (friends who are also Quakers, and who both went to Stanford in the 1970s as undergraduates) which you might enjoy ... :)
Warm regards,
Scott
