1) General Interest

This Bulletin is the latest ever...

I turned 60 on Monday (May 5th).  I finally sobered up this morning and realized that I had to write this.  <grin>

Not really...  I seldom imbibe strong spirits these days...  If the alcohol didn't kill me, either my wife or one of my many doctors would.

My time this morning is very limited so here's what I'm going to do.  I have something very special and tasty for us.  I'm going to write about it, and I'm going to invite you to a party.  I haven't gotten TBCS Board approval for this, but I'm hoping they won't spank me too hard for overstepping my authority.

Pangea Day, Saturday, May 10th, 2pm - 6pm - THIS WEEK!

Pangea Day is a world-wide event that will take place this coming Saturday afternoon.  During that 4-hour period, 24 short movies will be streamed across the Internet.  The movies were chosen from an internationial competition of over 2,500 submissions.  The films were chosen for their inspirational messages and their global viewpoint.

Along with the films, there will be a live program that will include visionary speakers.  It will be broadcast in 7 languages via Internet, TV, and mobile phones.

This promises to be a very special moment in the course of human evolution.  I plan on going to our Resource Center and watching the show via our LCD projector.  I'd like to invite all who want to come on out and join me.

Let's make it something of an indoor picnic.  I'll bring some sodas & chips, we'll make an urn of coffee, if you feel up to it bring a covered dish or a dessert.  You might also want to bring a cushion.  The chairs in the SIG room are uncomfortable for 2 hours -- I assume that won't improve over 4 hours.

Now, you can sit at home and watch Pangea Day in your underwear whilst sipping mint juleps.  However, to give yourself the treat of watching an inspirational program in the company of TBCS friends has gotta be hard to pass up.  We'll have a fun time.  Join us.

You do not need to be a TBCS member to attend this event.  Come on down and enjoy the afternoon with us.

careful, don't go to the Largo Cultural Center - we only meet there once a month.

Doc's Place (Friday morning 10am-noon)
We begin exploring the world of Web 2.0 for the 1st hour.  I'll be looking at the Window's user interface during the 2nd hour (it will include the Best Window's Shortcuts).  Also a Magic Jack update.
