Preparations

I was looking back through my blog, all the way back to these posts:

Reread them. You may find them interesting in preparation for our second 70-453 Annual Meeting.

Also, the usual dicta apply: I will have absinthe and Laphroaig scotch for general toasting purposes, and some snacks (including nacho cheese and chips).  Bring anything else you’d like to consume.

Also also, I think it should be part of our ritual/agenda 70-462 to burn the coals from last year’s fire and replace them with new ones.  So bring your chalice and coal.

Anything else?

Two Things…

Two things to post here. The first is that ACE is in more desperate need 70-451 than ever to put presents under the tree for local children. Are we going to help again this year? (Here’s the story: http://www.times-herald.com/Local/ACE-Christmas-list-totals-267-in–really-tough-year—605998 ).

Secondly, Barbara wanted to post a question to the Lacanians … I mean, er, the Lacunians … but it is of a philosophical nature, and so I explained to her that Lacuna is our “performance arm,” while our Think Tank is the Lichtenbergian Society, which might be better suited to tackle her question, which is:

“Gentlemen, please help me differentiate between learning, thinking, and 70-452 pdf metacognition. Your ideas are appreciated. Anything said by you may, of course, be used by me in the future — for monstrous profit. Many thanks.”

This, again, comes from my good wife, the lovely Dr. Barbara Bishop. Fire away.

L.08.9: quick materials post

You may recall a couple of posts ago I offered, essentially, rubble as raw materials for creating a lighting fixture for the labyrinth.  I had occasion this last week as I finished up to play with some of that, and this is the result:

1Z0-403 exams

Something could be done with this, lightingwise or other-. 1Z0-403 exams

UPDATE:

Another playing, with the smaller rubble bits:

You could drill a hole in the pieces and thread them on a piece of rebar.  Remember I have a drill press.

Apropos of nothing

This is really a post for my blog, but I always hesitate to draw attention to the Lichtenbergian enclave from there.

I came across GenderAnalyzer.com a while ago but was reminded of it yesterday while catching up at Jesus’ General’s blog.  I ran all three blogs through it and was astonished to find that…

  • We think http://lichtenbergian.org is written by a man (61%).
  • We think http://lacunagroup.org/blog is written by a man (80%).
  • We think http://dalelyles.com/blog is written by a man (82%).

The results are pretty clear, I’m afraid: you guys are diluting my manliness.  Quite some.

The call to the annual meeting

As Chair of the Lichtenbergian Society, I hereby enjoin our membership to attend the Annual Meeting, set according to the Charter for December 20, being on or before the Hibernal Solstice, to begin at or around 7:00 p.m. 1Z0-403 exams

The floor is now open for discussion of the Order of Business.

L.08.9: more materials

In case anyone was beginning to think about actually creating a lighting fixture for the labyrinth, here are some raw materials that you may certainly avail yourself of:

These are the pieces left over from my shaping the paving stones in the arcs of the labyrinth.  There will be lots and lots of them if you want to figure out a way to use them.

These are the broken bits of the same pieces.  I don’t know what you could do with these, but there will be a lot to play with if it inspires you.  (I keep thinking I’ll use them in a fountain or something.)

An assortment of 2x4s and 2x6s, all about four feet tall.  I’m going to use some for my “tubes of light,” but the rest are available.

Two largish pieces of 1/2″ plywood, about 48″ x 40″, and one smallish piece of treated 1/2″, about 24″ x 24″.  Think standing sculpture.  I keep thinking I want to do something large that hangs in the trees, something untoward and intriguing thereby.

Unpictured are eight 8-foot lengths of 2″ round, i.e., staffs.  We probably want to hang on to those for future Lacuna ventures, but if you’re inspired, use them.
