  1. WHAT?! No mention of Mike Peters being sued for insulting Colombian Coffee Bean growers?

  2. WHAT?! You didn’t see the story on the home page? 🙂

  3. Sorry, Alan. I sent that note right after reading the News Briefs (which were in my e-mailbox, so I hadn’t gone through your home page).

  4. I bet the med students’ patients have more patience once they receive a card with a Lynn Johnston cartoon on it.

  5. The Howard Taylor presentation is interesting. Thanks for the news.

  6. Well, THAT explains the rash of email I’ve gotten recently. I was wondering who blogged the video. Thanks, Alan!

    (I need to read the news briefs more carefully!)

    As a side note, the video is cleverly shot to make the presentation look incredibly dull. Every time I interacted with the audience for a show of hands the camera stayed right on me. Every reaction shot they went for was some bored programmer noodling around on his laptop in the back.

    I swear, it was MUCH more engaging in person.
