GENIE!

WOW.....

So, like, we had a really big crowd for Dr. Scott's talk on Wednesday evening:



As it turned out, I was sort of drafted at the last minute to tape Dr. Scott's talk (with her permission!) since I had brought my little Flip video recorder. All praise to the Generator Of Diversity, Madhu was able to loan me a tripod, or else I really wouldn't have been able to enjoy the talk. I couldn't video the whole deal with the Flip's limited hard drive, but Madhu also recorded the audio, which we hope to podcast.



Who knows? We may be able to combine the audio, what video I have and the Power Point and make a pretty slick little deal. But, seriously, while I love my Flip, the resolution is pretty low and I am starting to wonder what it's going to take for me or some other local science geek to invest in a better video setup for these kinds of events. I'd like to come up with some one-size-fits-all technology that would connect to any presenter's laptop, automatically stream the images of their Power Point, and record their audio to hard disk. Any thoughts, gentle reader?

Here's a brief (and probably incomplete) outline of Dr. Scott's talk:

1) Introductory remarks, the image of 'monkey to man', through presentation of the evidence for descent with modification (Darwin's original phrase), which is to say, evolution from a common ancestor

2) Exploration of the nature of science, drawing on an idea of the physicist James Trefil:



(click on the picture to read the introductory chapter of Dr. Scott's book 'Evolution and Creationism' )


3) The 'Pillars of Creationism'

4) The Creation-Evolution Continuum

5) A brief discussion of the role played by NCSE in defending the teaching of evolution.

Anyway, in a few days I'll start releasing segments of the talk here as YouTube thingies.

Thought this might help. Check out Slideshare.net/

The best way to get audio is to record off the microphone system commonly used in larger presentation areas.

酒店打工是什麼 讓我們遇見的 是什麼讓距離更近了不奢求你多好 給我多一點微笑 你只是一個酒店公關的過客 從我的世界路過我不敢太多不捨怕你看出我難過也許我想的太多卻不能給你什麼努力把傷心變少酒店上班笑容變多就好了 我只是個酒店工作陪伴者 陪著你傷心難過寂寞它每天數著你那麼多的失落 你想要什麼你說 只要我現在有的我們之間的點點滴滴 我一直都記得還清楚最後吻你的時候~沒有以往的感受難過念頭 停不住眼淚去挽留~酒店應徵把我耍完就走 怎麼相信當初的你是那麼溫柔~問自己還有什麼值得搶手酒店經紀能夠讓你會感動 能夠讓你會回首 能夠讓你為我留 能夠讓你不會走 能夠讓你抱著我 說一句我不走了。我不知道為什麼這樣酒店上班愛情不是我想像 就是找不到往你的方向更別說怎麼遺忘坐檯小姐站在雨裡淚水在眼底不知該往那裡去心中千萬遍不停呼喚你 不停瘋狂找尋你 我是不是該安靜的走開還是該勇敢留下來酒店上班我也不知道那麼多無奈可不可以都重來酒店小姐是不是該安靜的走開還是該在這裡等待等你明白我給你的愛永遠都不能走開。
