in the eerie category, today's winner is chip, who just sent an interesting bit by miguel de unamumo from his tragic sense of life...when the disillusionment of the mind and despair of the heart come together you finally have something to build on.

of course chip was referring to a paper that we, along with kevin, never wrote but should have written about the wildwood experiment. the web site now is a sad remnant of lives turned insanely chaotic for a semester but at least will never be part of the latest innovation in online learning...

but anyway, the eeriness of the quote, of course, has to do with it's timing and nothing to do with the context that it arrived in. but i think that you know that already.
