Well, somehow I got locked out of this blog by misunderstanding how gmail accounts shift around. Haven't got it solved but I can get into this now to post.
The exciting news in the intervening 2 and 1/2 years could be summarized as --- "whoops, whew, WOW, whoops, WHEW, and Oh boy, here we go again"
I had a great five year run at Stanford, running the Media X program, leaving in July 2011 to become Chancellor of Cogswell College. After getting an honorary PhD there in May 2012, and getting the school up from 130 full-time to 380 full-time students thjis term -- which got the school from desperate funding difficulty to 'break-even', I resigned from Cogswell to launch the InnovaScapes Institute ISI).
ISI will focus primarily on issues of technology and society, hopefully in general from a public stance, although I'll be seeking corporate and grant funding for much of our work.
Family-wise, lots to catch up on also. The biggest news probably is that two of our grandchildren, Madi Hyde and Orin Orlopp, have entered college this year. Madi, a lifetime Minnesotan, is enjoying a warmer winter in Portland, at Lewis and Clark College. Orin, born in NJ, living in CO and AR, has selected a small liberal arts college, Lyons, in AR, about three hours drive from home in Bentonville.
Jenny and I are healthy (knock on wood), and eagerly anticipating more challenge and excitement in 2013. All the best to you all
