The Smithsonian was a favorite site of many a school field trip back in the day, and as a resident of the Baltimore/DC area, I have to admit that I rather have taken it for granted. On Friday it celebrated its 166th anniversary and I'll admit that I hadn't realized how it came to be other than it was the bequest of a rich man. The man is gone and not remembered, but his legacy lives on and on.
We just called it "The Point". My father worked there from after he left the Navy to when he left for Alaska -- almost 23 years or so. Bethleham Steel was inagruably the largest employer in East Baltimore and being a steelworker was a way of life. And the pollution was something you just lived with -- smells, cars that would rust out, people coughting. I am not sure the suit is against the right people, but it is way overdue and quite justified.
It isn't exactly turning swords into plowshares, but this particular bit of recycling is a cool idea I think.. Have you noticed that even with all the social media and viral videos, it still takes a story like that to bring something like this to our attention? I still have my father's WWII naval dress uniform boxed away in the Disaster Area, but I don't think I would want to break it down.. The kids may feel differently when I am gone.
I have a beef with the interactive Google doodles! The animation won't work in the office and CHROME insists on linking me to iGoogle every time I try to get to GOOGLE, so I have to fire up IE on my home PC if I want to see it. It isn't very often that I want to play with the doodle that badly.
I had to think about this post for a bit ... Sadly it resonated with me! Bela has been in world since December 2005. She has a particular look, an extensive inventory of over 70K items and extensive community ties. If suddenly I logged her in and she was back to newbie status with no inventory, a stock avatar and no links to friends and communities, it would be rather depressing to say the least. If we can become so attached to a visualization of ourselves, what other attachments have we acquired? Are they good for us?
