I wonder how many cardinals are emailing the Vatican asking about a hybrid option for the conclave.

The free, open, Internet pre-enclosure was wondrous.

It still is. In pockets.

It would be great if more people came out and created on the open web. It’s a fantastic medium!

Back in Boston after yesterday’s Jersey City Marathon. I finished the race in 4:33:57! It was a fun first marathon, and now I can strategize getting the time under four hours…

I had a great time at the Eastern States 20 Miler on Sunday, but now I’m totally knocked out with runner’s flu. The human body is confusing…

I’m sure they were given secret codewords to prove their identities before the mission. NASA’s pretty smart about these things.

@riehs - 1/24/12 Lightweight vests that can stop any bullet? Sounds likes Bush's hydrogen cars. #SOTU @riehs - 1/25/11 This #SOTU has officially become Bush's hydrogen car speech.

I miss the days when tweeting during a #SOTU just involved making ironic references to Bush’s hydrogen car plans.

I often think a struggling award show should differentiate themselves by taking a break for 20 years. How wild would it be if the award for best movie of 2024 was decided in 2045?

Happy first day of meteorological spring (or fall) to those who celebrate!

The computers are trying to get us to fight against ourselves.

The Faculty & Staff Art Show 2025 Presented by Gallery 203 Gallery 203 is proud to showcase the recent work of Boston College faculty, featuring a dynamic selection of art across a range of disciplines. The exhibition includes thirteen artists and twenty works of art, representing departments such as Studio Art, Film, Global Health and the Common Good, Nursing, and Institutional Research and Planning. The featured works encompass a variety of mediums, including painting, printmaking, ceramics, video installations, and drawing. Boston College employs more than 3,500 individuals, including scholars, teachers, administrators, and staff, who are dedicated to supporting students and advancing the University's mission. The Faculty and Staff Show features a few of these individuals and their work. This exhibition highlights the contributions of a few of these faculty members, celebrating the depth of their expertise and the creativity they bring to both their teaching and their artistic practice. The diverse themes explored by these artists reflect the richness of the faculty's academic and personal backgrounds. Topics range from cross-cultural dialogue and policymaking to health inequities, environmental relationships, individual identity, and gender dynamics. Together, these works offer a unique overview of the wide-ranging scholarship at Boston College, illustrating the ways in which faculty inspire and challenge students and the Boston College community. Special thanks to Sammy Chong and the Art Club for collaborating with Gallery 203 on this exhibition!

Great long run today. I wish the water fountains along the route weren’t all turned off during the winter. Seems like we should have the technology to figure that out…
