i look forward to the video. unfortunately, i was not able to get there. however, forty folks for the fireside chat room must have been past max cap.

It was done, and it went pretty well. Maybe 40 people in the audience, packing the small room — my wife and her friends had to stand in the back all through it, as there were no more chairs.

I felt somewhat disappointed afterwards, that i had not been at the top of my game — not mentally organized enough (i never read from a script when i speak in public or lecture in the classrooms, just have an outline in my head and talk along with the flow). This time i had too much material to present and not nearly enough time, didn’t have a clear sense of what to cut, so i sort of quietly panicked halfway through — oh, well. The RAS President asked me to come back sometime and do a “part two”, covering what I didn’t get to this time, hopefully in a more systematic way. I’m sure i could do better…

This sounds pretty interesting - but same for me, not in the region to hear about it. Hope your India trip was a good one.

Have they given any idea when the videos of some of the lectures will be up on the site? I’m really interested in catching some of them since I’m no longer in Korea…

I seem to have nothing but bad luck getting to these lectures. I will be in the middle of an appointment in Yongin City at that time. This lecture sounds interesting as well . . . bugger.
