Folks; as you all know, this month is the 100-year anniversary of the death of Mark Twain in 1910, a death that was no exaggeration. Among other things, and in the interest of shameless self-promotion: I will be one of 2 guests on a virtual talk show called Copper Robot. The topic will be the life and legacy of Mark Twain. It will be broadcast live in Second Life, on Wednesday evening, beginning at 8 pm CST (6pm Pacific Time): the other guest is the august and amusing David Sloane. info at: Next on Copper Robot: Mark Twain http://copperrobot.com/2010/04/next-on-copper-robot-mark-twain/ As for how interested people might be able to tune in and listen: You can do it in Second Life, or you can watch the live streaming video on the Web: http://copperrobot.com/video/ Or listen to the podcast afterward, which will be posted here: http://copperrobot.com/ For any of you youngsters who mock my computer skills, please get a load of that one (assuming, of course, I can get it all figured out by then)! As for you other digital dinosaurs, this over-reliance on the gods of electronics, about which our learned master warned us, is also a terrific opportunity to hoist you firmly into the 21st-century, all gadget-wise and nonesuch. And so on. Thanks! -- Harold K. Bush, Ph.D Professor of English Saint Louis University St. Louis, MO 63108 314-977-3616 (w); 314-771-6795 (h) <www.slu.edu/x23809.xml> -- Harold K.
