Platypus Found: February 2009
http://platypusfound.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 3, 2009. I discovered today that Anodyne Cafe in Bay View has set up the option to play ping-pong in its side room on its boardroom table! I cannot restrain the childlike joy within. Finally, a place to play- and an improvised and intentional place no less. I anticipate I will be at Anodyne much more frequently as a result. This, the same day I read in the FT about the opening of Singularity University. Posted by Michael Timm. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Photo by Michael Timm. Wanderlus...

Saturday, May 9, 2009. JJ Abrams' "Star Trek" early review: Too much and too little, but at what cost? The pros and cons:. 1 Sweet and catchy theme music. Very nice. But Mr. Abrams, did you have to bludgeon us to death with it? 3 The greatest line is given to a surprisingly great Bruce Greenwood as Captain Pike and spoken to Kirk: something to the effect of "Are you going to be the only genius repeat offender in the Midwest? 6 The other slaps in the face to science or plausibility:. If he can shoot the R...

Platypus Found: December 2008
http://platypusfound.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 29, 2008. In Honor of Majel Barrett Roddenberry. Learned the sad news of Majel Barrett's death when reading an obituary of Forrest J. Ackerman in the FT. I didn't know or know of Ackerman until I read the obit (although it sounds like his likeness got worked into not a few Ray Bradbury stories). But I did have the chance/honor to get Barrett's autograph when she was in Milwaukee for Gen Con in the early or mid-1990s. She died Dec. 18, 2008 at age 76. Here is a link to her son's bio of her.

Platypus Found: January 2009
http://platypusfound.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 12, 2009. SpainOn the Road Again. A public television program I recently discovered, which I've found excellently wholesome and entertaining on multiple levels. It's about good food, travel, etc., and the episodes of this show I've seen have all involved these things in delightful proportion. On the Road Again. Is a PBS show that I've seen aired on Create TV, which locally is 36.4, if you have your digital converter box (or equivalent) hooked up. Basically, the recipe is this:. Music issu...

Platypus Found: hiatus
http://platypusfound.blogspot.com/2010/01/hiatus.html
Tuesday, January 12, 2010. As if it isn't already obvious, I've taken a hiatus from this blog. I may be revamping it in the new year, or I may fully abandon it. I am not energized in the way I was when I started the "public journal" experiment, but I may be moved to leverage- yes, I used that as a verb like a middle manager- social networking technology to my advantage. So, don't stay tuned. But do check out Milwaukee Anthropologist. Posted by Michael Timm. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Crying ...
