An Outdoor Class | An Entity In A Book? | Chromebook Manual Stress

File:Gutenberg Bible, Lenox Copy, New York Public Library, 2009. Pic 01.jpg Description The Gutenberg Bible [Bible, Latin Vulgate. Ca. 1455]. Biblia Latina. [Mainz: Johann Gutenberg, ca. 1455]. Rare Books Division. From the Lenox Library The first substantial printed book is this royal-folio two-volume Bible, comprising nearly 1,300 pages, printed in Mainz on the central Rhine by Johann Gutenberg (ca. 1390s-1468) in the 1450s. It was probably completed between March 1455 and November of that year, when Gutenberg's bankruptcy deprived him of his printing establishment and the fruits of his achievements. The Bible epitomizes Gutenberg's triumph, arguably the greatest achievement of the second millennium. Forty-eight integral copies survive, including eleven on vellum. Perhaps some 180 copies were originally produced, including about 45 on vellum. The Lenox copy, on paper, is the first Gutenberg Bible to come to the United States, in 1847. Its arrival is the stuff of romantic national folklore. James Lenox's European agent issued Instructions for New York that the officers at the Customs House were to remove their hats on seeing it: the privilege of viewing a Gutenberg Bible is vouchsafed to few.

While there I remember my brother GC acting like a janitor, like he was working at his janitorial job at The BP Library or something, and I remember some of my former classmates being there as well among the other people there.

Counting Voices

The Daily Post had a Daily Prompt today called Counting Voices, and this is what it said:

A lively group discussion, an intimate tête-à-tête, an inner monologue — in your view, when it comes to a good conversation, what’s the ideal number of people?

And this is my response:

On average I think that the ideal number of people for a conversation is probably two people (except when it comes to internal monologues, and disputes that need a neutral third-party), communication is already complicated enough, and more people can complicate things even more; and with two people you can stay more focused, and it makes things easier.

The end,
