Ma, David,
The fascinating Lego Institute (Peter Norvig's) with funding opportunities -
2nd on his web page - https://norvig.com/
So creative - click on the thumbnails
I could add a list of my
#RealisticVirtualEarth fors
- for most of these ...
Eg
Courses in each of 3 physical Lego Robotics' kits for #WUaSHomeRobotics' combining both actual & virtual - #ActualVirtual #PhysicalVirtual w #Scratch3 in #GoogleTranslate' ~100 langs : #RealisticVirtualEarthForLego & #
AAA
It's the Norvig foundation too (which is good - and am very appreciative of Peter Norvig's thinking) ... So I could perhaps learn how to set up a foundation ![☺]()
️ of my own eventually too ...
Seeking too to get some high school and college 3 LEGO Robotics' kits going out of MIT OCW into edX (translated into many languages) with Scratch visual programming ... And I might be able to get to play making with Lego Robots doing this too
https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/
WUaS is an authorized reseller of Lego Robotics' too ...
Fond regards, Scott

Looking through the above Lego Institute, I see mention of Hadoop data infrastructure -
Hadoop
AAA
Could this partly potentially come to underlie a single realistic virtual earth / universe?
Seeking a life partner, but not ..... I think, for a variety of reasons, ethical questions among them ... And since we haven't connected successfully communicatively at all ... Am concerned too about the possible misinformation she was sharing ..., and also potentially her political alliances ..., ethically too ... AM INTERESTED in significantly lessening for ex the illegal sex industry and ... may come from a different place (potentially not great for family ahead for ex).
Fond regards, Scott

David, Ma, would you like to attend a Robbie Burns get together in Zoom in 50 minutes that's Pgh - Glasgow-centric? David, you could conceivably meet a friend too, and host Ken Thompson MD from Pittsburgh wrote we can invite friends ... Will send you the invitation, David! (180 people invited, so lots of possible Zoom friends to meet & chat with :)
Fondly, Scott

Robbie Burns' time over ...
Chrome browser is newly flickering still, but neither Zoom nor Skype are ... Will try rebooting ...
Good to see Nick Thompson, host Ken's brother in particular ...

David, Ma,
..."
Still in whistle-blowing mode in an ongoing way, (and re psychiatry too??? even re the law???
...since Ken is a psychiatrist, and there were some other psychiatrists there too ... )
Am hoping you're having a good weekend ... And getting out for many walks for ex during covid-19 pandemic time ...
Fondly, Scott
Shared these ideas with my mother after talking yesterday, David,
For possible very long lives, a few things come to mind after just talking together (thanks so much ... I was at the UU church ... and even re the idea of troop-bonding and kin below ) -
A
Desiderata for you (and me), "Go placidly ... " - https://www.desiderata.com/
B
5 reasons and many more in blog for self-quarantine from Covid-19 pandemic - https://scott-macleod.
C
Troop-bondage - staying bonded and communicating with your great sympatico (English?) friends in Pittsburgh, (and on Cuttyhunk, like Jean and so many others - see, John Money's concepts of determinism here - http://scottmacleod.com/
So talking with you made me want to seek to troop bond with kin somehow too, so I looked up
RB's telephone number,
MM's telephone number, saw
BH's recent auto reply to the WUaS Minutes showing he's still in a communicating loop re connecting kin-wise, even if we don't talk that much, and
David Thurston comes to mind ... kin-wise (for me) is what I have in mind, and smart, and together, and COMMUNICATING well and generatively ... women do this differently (and you have so many great smart friends in these regards!!! ... pick up your telephone over the weekend and call friends :) ... I think continuing to grow one's communicative talking 'powers' in the decades ahead with one's great circle of great friends is a way to navigate re trolls for example, Ma! Cultivate and grow your Pgh UU community in these regards? How are Jean and Chris doing, by the way?
Thanks for the information too ... Go placidly regarding the ear phones (or skip using them), go placidly regarding friendships, paribonds (like with Jean), and your Saturday ladies' group (expand to twice a week - and with a few different friends???) ... and Jacques Lacan MD's moving to language - the symbolic (with parallels to John Money's ideas of both Ycleptance, and Explication ... in a way relating to thinking ) - learning to use language further (re Brig too ... Lacan-wise) even, and yet well, like smart people do (French diplomats?) - and communicatively has merit too ...
Listening to music has much merit too !
... and all even as I continue to seek a life partner, and to raise my kids well, wherever we develop our 'nest' together ... give them the Desiderata thinking, and re careers (re George Alexander's thinking) ... and if possible via communication good careers ! yes :)
On with playing my bagpipes, and writing further ... but what about my calling some of the friends above ... almost called Rob, but will go carefully in developing an on-the-phone relationship with him, if this might emerge :)
Love, Scott
What are you up to this weekend?
In here too -
Happy New Year 2021 again
