When I was a kid, I used to hope to live to 2050. It would mean I might make 80 years old, and I thought it was very precise. Show up in 1970, take off in 2050. Hemingway or Eliot might hvae lived in a cooler time (at least, in retrospect), but this timeframe could be pretty cool, too. I’ve seen double quite a few times, mostly in college, sometimes when playing hockey.
In 2050 this report claims we will need to have two earths to support the needs of humans. When does the earth catch a cold and shake us all off? We need to try to live in harmony with our planet. Or get it drunk enough that it can see double! Gallows humor from me. If everyone lived the way we do in the US, the report says we would need five earths. Ouch!

Cool! TimeOut Chicago has published a “Continuing Education Guide” highlighting educational opportunities for folks already in the workplace. Yay! They mention the School of the Art Institute of Chicago’s continuing studies program.
Why ‘yay!’ you may ask? Because I’m designing and teaching several of the courses for the digital design curriculum, of course!
