We couldn’t really consign this to the flames, but it is nonetheless a powerful reminder of the just nature of our creed.

He doesn’t deserve this, probably.
Especially since he’s directed so many successful shows pass it exams at NCTC of late. But I want to nominate Jeff Allen IT certification for membership in this august society. Do I have a second?

These guys seem IT Certification vaguely Lichtenbergian. Lichtenbergian in the sense that they work on these silly little projects instead of other things. Not Lichtenbergian in the sense that they actually finish them. Still, I may actually try one of these soon. 70-431GB2312

What is your quest?
This morning I came across OverThinkingIt.com: Movies, TV, Music, Video, Humor and Popular Culture… Taken Way Too Seriously, and it appeals.
Two posts that you will immediately like:
- The Nazgul = Epic Fail, in which the movie”s Witch King is compared unfavorably to a labradoodle
- Fixing Pan”s Labyrinth, which casino pa natet has a very interesting take on Campbell”s monomyth: it”s a boy”s quest, and that is distinct from a girl”s quest.
I invite your comments on the quest question, and also any other posts you find that would intrigue or entertain.

Assignments: recap
All of this is over at the page, but it would be nice to pull together some comments about our various blunderings this year.
(An explanation of my hyperlinking here: the link from the descriptive phrase takes you to the original Assignment. A link from an Assignment number takes you to a category search, pulling up all the posts about that Assignment and the results.)
Several Assignments never went anywhere. The very first one (L.08.1), the one about the toxic waste site, got a lot of discussion but no real results.
Likewise, there were two unnumbered , both by Mike, I think, that never produced anything.
Marc’s bogus email chain (L.08.7) never got any takers, either, along with my “time travel” suggestion (L.08.11).
Two assignments that got no responses are actually still percolating, I think: Turff’s film festival (L.08.10) and my labyrinth lighting fixture (L.08.9). I know that one of my goals today is to put together my new drill press, finally, and one reason I even bought the thing was to create lighting fixtures. So maybe by the end of the year…
We did have many Assignments that produced results, starting with the George Lichtenberg film project (L.08.2). We did work on that a bit, and the general feeling at the Annual Meeting was that we wanted to continue, perhaps as the subject of the still-unproposed Podcast Project. That’s over at BaseCamp.
The self-exposé Assignment (L.08.3) was very entertaining, as was the critical response/review one (L.08.5). I think they showed us off our best sides: as poseurs.
The album cover Assignment (L.08.6) produced a lot of fun work. A quick, easy one, the best kind for this group, as was the self-portrait Assignment (L.08.8).
There was the Frog Song effort (L.08.4), which was very successful, although I think now we would shunt that over to Lacuna Group for actual performance.
And of course, still ongoing and I think the most successful, the non-Assignment of Symmetrical Hand Arrangment.
Remember, it’s never too late to finish what you’ve procrastinated all year!

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?
