We are conferencing (on religion in media) on campus

I saw this in the student union. It is two parts of the same piece of furniture. But, unlike most of the items they have on display, there’s no signage to note its origin or donors or anything else. These three panels are on one piece:

And the other part was equally beautiful:

That’s the back piece, and I believe it is all some sort of elaborate chair or storage furniture or both. Let’s say chifforobe. Anyway, I was in that building to check on the conference, so maybe the imagery carved into the wood was the right choice for that part of the building. There were several sessions nearby this morning. There were two more panels in our studio this afternoon. It looked like this:

So settle in and enjoy, we certainly did.

Meanwhile, after dinner:

There are two more sessions of this conference tomorrow. Both streamed, so I’ll put them here. Until then …

Photos for Wednesday

We are a third of the way through spring. We hit 50° yesterday. It snowed all day Monday. But it is spring. (Or so “they” would have you believe.)

It is not important if you’re late. It IS important that you arrive.

Meanwhile, indoors, I call this “Chair In Isolation.” It is intended as a withering critique on the subject of artistically withering critiques and the isolating folly of men and women putting their impressions into the work of others.

Or its a simply dressed movie set. One of the two.

Allie was unimpressed:

Makes you wanna ride bikes – if you can get off the sofa

Someone brought their bike into the building today.

You’re not supposed to do that. But I do enjoy seeing a good bicycle every now and then. That’s a Little 500 bike, which is a neat treat in general, just not in the building, where it could be a tripping hazard or a wall-marking hazard or a theft-of-property hazard.

Seriously, someone left it outside a closed classroom. People are trusting, which is nice.

Outside? Spring?

On Monday morning, snow. And it was the sort of thing no one even mentioned. We were all so bored with it and over it. It wasn’t surprising to wake up to. It was inevitable. No one was even irritated by the absurdity of it anymore. Snow in mid-April. Then it melted, things started blooming and that evening I ran in layers and gloves.

This evening I ran in shorts and a t-shirt and was already warm in the driveway, before setting out for a quick 5K. Already warm. It was 62° degrees.

So I’m putting a question mark next to spring from now on.

Allie, is, also, over it:

And, look, when I tell The Yankee that the six-pound cat is holding me down, I really mean it:

I practiced media things today

Today is the fourth of April. We had more snow flurries today. For much of the day, in fact. If felt like 32 degrees this morning. Because, in April, you should still be using wind chill.

This is silly talk in the face of all of that, I know, but maybe there is hope.

Yesterday was the 50th anniversary of the murder of Martin Luther King, Jr. That makes today the 50th anniversary of an important newspaper column. We talked about it on the podcast today:

Also today I talked to Raju Narisetti. He’s the CEO of the Gizmodo Media Group, and an IU grad. He’s in town for a campus-wide program and we had him in the studio for an interview today. I’m not sure when that one will get published — it takes some time — but I’ll get to share it eventually.

A day was had

Here are two news show. They talked about campus news and pop culture events.

The two hosts of the pop culture show are seniors, but the anchors on this particular episode of the news show are sophomores, which is quite impressive, really.

Otherwise, my day was full of meetings. A student here, studio time there, a meeting about meetings upstairs. Your standard Wednesday. The best thing about it being that tomorrow is Thursday.
