| I've been musing ... The after effects of Tax Day '97.
|
| Maybe we in this "community" missed an opportunity ...
|
| To have the first "virtual" inauguration of a university president
| ...
|
| Think about it ... a web site with text, photos, clips of sound and
| video,
| not too distant, conceptually, from a mode in which President Hoover
| excels (pun intended), MS PowerPoint.
|
| This could be very powerful if only we could point more of the
| "community"
| to it ... I'm afraid too many are not web enabled.
|
| On the other hand, a much greater community of participants would be
| enabled over real geographic space, and in time. They could view
| the
| inaugural web site at their temporal convenience, wherever they are
| in
| geospace.
|
| Is this still possible and worthwhile? Surely there must be
| photos, sound
| and video of the event which could be incorporated into a web site.
|
| Also, the web site could be interactive, providing for responses
| from
| viewers.
|
| No, I don't want to build it. Further, I do not have that much
| technical
| web page creating ability.
|
| Is this just surrealistic eddy currents of aging cerebral simms or
| is it
| something to do?
