    Wed. Feb 22nd

    Lets try this again (since I had to cancel class last week) so for Wednesday the 22nd:

    The class is divided, half of you should read Everything is Miscellaneous and the other half should read Glut: Information Thru the Ages. This was divided in class, but if you don’t remember ask someone who is in your group. You should then right 500 words to your class blog. Additionally bring an outline of the major points of the book you read to class, as you will need it to help explain the main points to those who did not read the same book you did.?
