This Week:

…also includes a few things from last week. It’s a busy time, go figure.
Like a ton of other people, I watched and loved “Prey”, a great Indigenous fantasy and the best “Predator” movie since the original (or maybe it’s better than the original?)
I finished reading Annalee Newitz' “Autonomous”, a delightful and thoughtful book about the thin line between humans and technology, and suggestive of the idea that “humanity” is a series of relationships, regardless of the degree of mechanical or biological automation involved.
We finished installing the Museum’s newest exhibit, a travelling show of photography called “Front Row Center” featuring the photographs of Larry Hulst. I’m really excited about it!
With my wife and daughter, I took a brief trip to Syracuse and Oswego. We visited the always wonderful Museum of Science and Technology, and saw Lake Ontario from the opposite side that we usually see it.
I did some work on forward program planning for the Fall.
