I'm not directly involved in any of this planning (events below).

The same D.W. Jacobs play, though with a different actor
(it's a monologue -- and a workout given how the sound track
is pre-timed), was here in Portland, Oregon in 2008.

I was quite active in supporting the side-show festivities at
that time, including delivering an IEEE lecture on the evening
of the USA presidential election.

Here's my journal entry regarding that evening:

Anyway, for what it's worth: could be interesting...

We are on a spaceship; a beautiful one. It took billions of years to develop.
We're not going to get another. Now, how do we make this spaceship work?
