Within the Hour

In the hour of DST slippage (an hour earlier than it was yesterday at this time), we walked to Barry Park, met a neighbor on the sidewalk and chatted about so many smallfriendly things.  Sunny and 60 in Winter'sacomingacuse.  I took five pictures, this one among them.

Garage Door 2.0

In what's left of the day (roughly and with naps):
1. grading 307 projects
2. tuning final 307 project prompt/guide
3. Denny's PBA Tour NFL
4. notes and response to first chunk of Remediation
5. put down a few organizing notions for the 691 project (but this can wait a week or more, too).

"That is, we are in a logic of simulation, which no longer has anything to do with a logic of facts and an order of reason. Simulation is characterized by a precession of the mode, of all the models based on the merest fact--the models come first, their circulation, orbital like that of the bomb, constitutes the genuine magnetic field of the event" (16). Jean Baudrillard, Simulacra and Simulation.
