I think I will also begin to teach my course again - Society, Information Technology and the Global University - since it's very generative idea-wise.

Ich denke, ich werde auch wieder anfangen, meinen Studiengang - Gesellschaft, Informationstechnologie und die Global University - zu unterrichten, da er sehr ideenreich ist.

Ma, 

I just received this email in scott@scottmacleod.com from Janny H ,,, and had said to her last summer that you are the decision-maker about these questions. I was glad to be on Cuttyhunk for all of July last summer, and continue to hope to live on Cuttyhunk for 10 weeks a summer, and even next summer if possible. I could also conceivably head off Cuttyhunk in August for the 2-4 weeks you might be there in August, so you could be there by yourself (and possibly to Harvard or similar - just got a refund from Brigham and Women's hospital of the $50 dollars I paid for the Harvard Smartphone's Symposium yesterday - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/11/andersons-mountain-crown.html?m=0 - perhaps because it was originally slated as being free).

Hi Scott, Janny (H...) here! Bo and I are enjoying autumn here in New
Salem, Mass. Hope it's equally enjoyable for you!
We know you and Jane have not been renting Piney's in awhile, but sometimes
things change. So in that spirit we are wondering if you would consider
renting to us for a week or 2 in the middle of July. The rental market is
getting smaller as the generations of Cuttyhunkers increases!
Xojanny

It's early now, and I don't know where I'm going to be living after next April (could it be in Canyon 94516 even, if safe?) but I could see being on Cuttyhunk for much of the summer no matter where I'm living (If I somehow did move back into an empty 670 Ridgecrest Road Canyon next April), could I even be away for the hot summer months, and possibly even as people put in a heating and cooling system, and even a wired multimedia shop, water filtration system, etc.?) ... 

What do you think? I'm not entirely comfortable with Jan H....'s alcoholism, . . . (although I appreciate their being old hippies). Might we say no thank you ... and possibly recommend the Thurston's smaller house even? (And who knows what other roles they might be taking on, as long time Cuttyhunkers, and hippy musicians, and partiers too ... could they come into some sort of policing role on the Neck, if they were able to rent the Thurston's smaller house - very speculative - and could even the federal government help pay for this?). My door just opened a crack from the wind because it wasn't fully latched shut :) ... Invite them out to stay in Canyon 94516 in the summer months, if I was back on Cuttyhunk for those 10 weeks, ... since they might get to know the place of Canyon, by connecting with folks, and even somehow make it safer, and they might enjoy coming out to the Bay Area (I don't know them at all)???? Thoughts, ideas, questions, suggestions? 

Do you want to reply to them? I think it could be good to have one person like yourself as owner and decision-maker continuing to make the decisions about our Cuttyhunk house. 

abolition-ally yours, and love, 
Scott

http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Law?m=0
(Am asking some of these questions too with both state of Massachusetts and federal law in mind ... and even regarding S's possible mis-use, illegal???? of the house ... possibly unbeknownst to you ... and where I'm still waiting to learn how Google Nest, which may still be a little insecure technically, which is on in Piney's house now it appears ... https://home.nest.com/home/46540170-f16a-11eb-81e7-0e583524f6fb (which I can see is working through this web, but you can't, and I can't really see anything at all except that it's on, so the electricity is on I presumer there too ...)  ... Nest will become more secure, and work in a secure way with Google Nest xYale Lock with Nest Connection, which I'm exploring installing next June or so ...  )

Ma,

Hmmm ... internet for laptop went off after emailing you with this email, and after emailing the following (to Peter Koehler and the BayAreaJamTisch folks), which is the beginnings of teaching my "Society and information technology and the global university' course, in English and German (thanks to Google Translate) and by which I'll learn German further, and which course is very generative idea-wise for me ... I find revisiting teaching it to be inspiring (and thanks to Google Meet video conference recording, I can record these talks in a different way) ...

Not sure whether it's possibly 'eatchers' at Google, and whether too Peter Norvig might be watching all of us ... But I have internet on phone as alternative ...


(And internet for laptop just - one of 2 'pipes' into this basement dwellings' 2 computers plus Google Smart TV with camera, and that may be all the devices - came on again :)

Love, Scott


PS could Canyon 94516 questions have been part of the outage per my email to you ... I was sending this to you at 442 pm eastern time but clicked UNDO ... To write this added question ... :)

Hi there,


Thank you for expressing interest in the Google for Education Pilot Program! The goal of this program is to provide K12 and Higher Ed institutions and organizations early access to products and features across various Google tools to help inform the future of Google's products. Our academic partners play an important role in the development cycle of products and features by providing feedback that directly shape and improve our tools. 


What are we looking for?

  • Academic institutions that utilize Google Workspace tools. (Companies and Service providers are not eligible). 

  • Access to Educators across different institutions, grade levels, and areas of expertise that are passionate about piloting new features and willing to share their stories, best practices and feedback with Google.


If your institution is interested in joining the program, please have yourGoogle Workspace  Administrator completethis sign-up form. To determine If you are the Google Workspace Administrator, you should have access to admin.google.com console.  If you do not, please forward this invitation to the individual who can apply on your organization's behalf.


Once we have an opportunity to pilot a new feature, someone from our team will be in touch. For more information check out theFAQdoc. Our team will get back to you with next steps upon reviewing your application.


Cheers,

The Google for Education Pilot Program Team







Dear Larry, 

Greetings. This just came through from Google Education, after attending a 2 day conference yesterday and the day before. After a talk yesterday, I had some concerns about WUaS not having money, and this video link to the talk is here - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/11/cells-in-body.html - which speakers itemize all kinds of costs (if WUaS was working with the state of CA even???).

But this Google Education pilot program looks to be still free, and due to WUaS being in Google Workspace for Education ... and a potential further way in.

Thoughts, questions, suggestions, ideas? Their FAQs seem sensible.  

Sincerely, 

Scott

Dear Larry,

I think I'm concerned that fees will begin to come (and having heard yesterday's talk) ... via this path, when WUaS doesn't have any students, so I wonder whether it is best to wait for a different entry into WUaS Google Workspace for Education - and with WUaS matriculating students.  

How are you doing?

Sincerely, Scott

I post some of these concerns further here - 

https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/11/cells-in-body.html - around the video I saw only part of.



*

Dear Larry,

On the other hand, this could be a good way to grow, and who knows, but even find somehow students through Google Workspace for Education, since Google engages so so many people, and its AI machine learning IN MANY languages could be focused on this. Perhaps state of California developments will lead to reimbursement from departments of Education in CA counties and from all 200 countries ... And WUaS being able then to reimburse you, me and them. 


Google Government and Education conference - 

Day 1

Day 2

http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/11/cells-in-body.html


Good that they are thinking about work WUaS ... First time probably as part of their developments in Education ... 

Wondering when they might begin to pilot OCW.mit.edu projects.


Glad too that Google -

Something to build on ... ?


Seeking to head up to Harbin's warm pool again when Harbin may become safe (thanks to Kaiser Permanente or the US state department even or?)  ... next year in spring possibly? ... For next Harbin Ethnographic book ... From Street View with Time Slider text in the side bar potentially ... 

Seeking too to find a partner to begin a family ... Not sure how ... circulation ... Carol singing at Xmas in Pgh thanks to Stephen Epple who went to Shady Side Academy too (and his father Dennis, re SSA or CMU interested alumnae, with some Scottish background too and pretty?), and an invitation to a woman (in her mid - late 20s) he knows to sing, who might be interested and a good connection (a MD?)?


Thanks for sending money for shares in WUaS Corporation (http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html :)!


Piping Topical Piobaireachd classical Scottish Bagpiping music lesson in 25 minutes ... At 5am (unusually) here with Stuart Liddell in Scotland ...

Dear Larry,


I signed up as a teacher and Google Workspace Admin ... thanks to this invitation. Did not get an opportunity yet to ask how they would pilot developing CC-4 MIT OCW to WUaS Google Workspace for Education ... especially re the 2) adapt ATTRIBUTE of the CC-4 licensing ... but maybe this will emerge :)

Buckle up ... we may be getting this Starship Enterprise ready for lift off :)

 - as well as a next step in the development of ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy social theory, plus the Bay Area Jam Tisch video etc ... 

Sincerely, Scott
