OK, Wafers and Waferettes: Nothing between my ears right now but the sound of wind in a tunnel, so I'll just give this one a number and we can continue on our merry way. Just remember: you live among dolts.

The Vancouver Lecture

Dear Wafers:

Well, it seemed to go well enough (this was yesterday morning, out at UBC), with the exception of a douche bag on a cell phone. I'm actually grateful, whenever I give a lecture, if people in the audience don't throw rotten fruit. Anyway, pour yourself a double scotch and sit back:

175

Greetings Wafers and Waferettes!

We have managed to fill up #174 pretty quickly, so we need to move on to #175. But please note, I've been doing all kinds of outrageous things in Vancouver, and will soon post the links for these activities as soon as my hosts provide them. Stay tuned to this station, all will be revealed.

174

Dear Wafers-

Once again, I have nothing edifying to say (of course my critics believe that's always true, but what're ya gonna do), so can only identify this as the 174th post. In terms of possible themes rt now, I suggest:

1. CRE (a perennial favorite) 2. Reasons to kill yourself (Camus would approve) 3. Deli meats.

On that note, let 'er roll!

173

Dear Wafers:

Last post was nearing 200 comments, so it was time to move on. This is post #173, and frankly, I have nothing to say. Oh, wait: some of you wanted info on my April 5 lecture at UBC in Vancouver. It's going to be at 11 a.m. in the Neville Scarfe Bldg., Rm 100. For those of you who can't make it, I'll post the link to the videotape sometime after the lecture.

Onward and Downward,

Spring Lecture Schedule

Attention all Wafers and Waferettes:

Since we are approaching Comment #200 on the previous blog post, and since we probably need a break from the “culture wars,” I thought it might be time for a new post. My lecture “schedule,” as it were, consists of 2 talks:

1. April 5, 11 a.m., University of British Columbia, Vancouver BC; room TBA.

2. June 22, Grand Valley State University, Allendale, Michigan; room and time TBA. I’m being presented with the Neil Postman Award for Career Achievement in Public Intellectual Activity by the Media Ecology Association.

For those of you who can make it to either of these, I look forward to seeing you!
