Hello again -

Great work today, everyone, I’m pumped that you guys are pumped on the book so far. Please read through chapter 7 / page 83 for homework and post here. I’m sure we’ll have plenty more to discuss tomorrow, as well! I’ll post the reading schedule later this afternoon. Take care!

Hello Everyone,

I hope that you aren’t too upset with me over the Eric Sanderson incident. As we continue reading, hopefully you’ll enjoy the eccentric assignments we’ve completed, and will still complete, and see the world get a little bit smaller as we continue reading. Please read through p. 50 (chapter 5) for Thursday, and PLEASE DO post on here with discussion-generating thoughts/comments/questions. We probably won’t run out of things to discuss, but it will just serve as an anchor should we lose our place. Thanks!

I’m working on assembling all the RST links that exist out there, as there is a ton of info, but once it’s more complete, I’ll post it. See you Thursday!

Happy New Year everyone!

Please complete your Eric Sanderson Mantra for tomorrow’s class. We will share some of them, and get into reading tomorrow. As expected, I confirmed with Eric, he’ll be around for chatting purposes at 930 pm on gchat/googlewave. Shoot him an email or something to let him know if you’re interested, so he’s not up late waiting for anyone.

See you all tomorrow!

Happy Holidays, everyone!

Please complete Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and post accordingly below.

If you can, see if you can get your hands on a copy of any of the following:

1) V for Vendetta

2) Watchmen

3) Any of the League of Extraordinary Men series (there are three editions).

You don’t have to buy them if you don’t want to, I can look around for some copies as well, but it will be a bit easier if we could cobble a few copies together to study as a class. Post on here to let me/us know, that way we don’t end up with 20 copies of Watchmen and no V for Vendettas.

Enjoy your break, everyone!

-Mr. B.

I want to jump into those the week we get back (after we finish BSG), and then hit Raw Shark Texts with time to spare before midterms/finals.
