The Grandfather Clock

Filed under: General — m759 @ 5:16 pm

“Well, I’ve helped to wind up the clock —
I might as well hear it strike!”

— Said to be a quotation from the grandfather
of a “pirate radio” founder who reportedly died
at 79 on April 20.

Stations of the Clock

An Example

As a final example, here is a brief outline of curriculum
material based on certain games for the topic
of modular arithmetic….

The curriculum begins with a game called Winding
Around Positions. There are twelve stations
that could represent hours on a clock or the Chinese
years zodiac. A reference station is selected
(in general, selections are made by the class with
some input from the teacher), and one student
sits at that station throughout the game.

“Wheel of Time,” that opens
today in Manhattan:

“With a little effort, anything can be
shown to connect with anything else:
existence is infinitely cross-referenced.”

— Opening sentence of
Martha Cooley’s The Archivist

These images suggest
a Google search on the phrase
crucified on the wheel of time,”

which yields the following.

Crucified on the Wheel Of Time.
A visual feast.

From Dark City: A Hollywood Jesus Movie Review

“There is something mesmerizing about this important film. It flows in the same vein as The Truman Show, The Game, and Pleasantville.  Something isn’t real with the world around John Murdoch. Some group is trying to control things and it isn’t God.”

Amen.
