No meetings today! Even though it's Friday!

been great to catch up on all those emails that have been lurking at the back of my consciousness for a while. Not easy to answer, not really ones I could just ignore...

Also expected to come up with a better workshop title than 'Good Googling' to see if we can't drum up more student attendance next year. 'Great Googling' didn't seem like much of a change. 'Googling with gusto' didn't really appeal. Something along the lines of a "long title" like 'All you ever wanted to know about Google but were afraid to ask' was ruled out for advertising reasons (this workshop is one of a series and none of the others were labelled like that).

I'm still of the opinion that we could use classic films and their posters to attract attention (assuming it's ok under copyright as parody or fair-use or something). Perhaps I could do 'The Google, the Bad and the Ugly' as I spend some time on Google's censorship deals with China or utlization of things like the fascist press for (part of) its news gathering.

Any suggestions more than welcome...
