Glenn has been researching the B Corporation as a background institutional framework. Today, however, was the meeting on personnel. We both think the CSN CTO might be the best at video editing. He and I as talking heads need to be balanced with other content.
Yes, I'm talking about Youtube content. When I first moved to Portland we were looking to Comcast, to which the City had given the keys in exchange for some community television facilities. I was able to get on, do some work in front of the camera. I think I did some editing. Another Glenn I know has done a lot of editing. Award winning. High school friend. Manila.
The B Corporation, Global Matrix lets call it (shades of Global Data), is about giving some of our Pauling House talent an opportunity to get studio air time if wanting it. I'm in studio almost every weeknight, doing closed circuit. That's not the Youtube model though. I did some pilot studies, testing the waters. Those needing more "spy camp" knowledge got their A & B modules, T & E modules. Not forgetting the S.
Yes, I'm tracking the Jupyter Notebook breakthroughs: winner of the ACM award and major feature it Atlantic Monthly this April. I've been yakking with the physics teachers about it, thanking them for Jake VanderPlas tutorials, his Pycon keynote.
Astronomers, including at Space Telescope Institute, have done wonders for Python's street cred.
Stockton knows a lot about white water rafting. He's recovering from an injury at the moment, but I wouldn't put it past him to shoot down the Deschutes. My "math is an outdoor sport" meme is about exercising body as well as brain, but also becoming practiced at noticing patterns. Rivers have their pattern language. A certain type of swerve predicts an eddy, perhaps a beach, another fast current on an opposite shore... Glenn knows all about it.
If you fall overboard and end up in "the Maytag" swim down to get out of it. That's what a lot of people would not try, out of reflex. Scuba has secret knowledge like that too. Which is why it really helps to have a teacher. I had Gill Gilleland in Manila. I'm no white water rafter though. The roller coaster at Oak's Park is closer to my speed.
His Global Matrix is about layered data on a Macroscope, the proverbial illuminated globe of Mapparium fame, hexapent in design. Ultimately the planets don't have to be real. Subject matter, so-called fields, map to planets just fine. Physics Planet and so on.
I'm into timelines myself and keep looking for the best timeline sites. You'll want to know who knew whom, but that's not always information to easily come by. The Economist is dropping its rules against split infinitives by the way (I just read that this morning, coming down from Mt. Tabor).
