My meeting with Geremy this morning was lively and exciting. We talked about viewmasters and looked up the plans for the mutoscope from the 1894 patents and also talked about why I avoid discussing how my teaching of my other classes is progressing. If I say it is going well, what if a student who doesn't agree reads it and comes to the conclusion that this is as good as it gets? What if I say it is going poorly, then a student reading it may be offended or may feel there is less reason to try. I sometimes wonder if I should have a secret blog or maybe even a hand written journal to tell all the truths, as I see them, but without readers, I am not inclined to invest that time. Life is too short. As for today's photo, it was between this stiched together shot I took today of William and Margaret having tea and toast or the images of the viewmaster card cutter which ended up being a simulation and not the correct size, so I'd rather omit it for now. I did set up a new wiki for Geremy to write and post about his mutoscope progress. Not much there yet, but he says he'll update once per week: http://mutoscope.wikispaces.com/Mutoscope_main
