Jim Butterfield, one of the legends of the Commodore computer world and a respected figure in computing history, will be lecturing at York University. Wish I could go, but I wouldn't say no to a friendly associate here taping it.

Cool, it's a pity that it's such a pain to get to York
The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.
