Some of the earlier selections put me in mind of Fiddler...and I was playing the Sunrise, Sunset melody half-assedly on one string of the guitar. I like lyricist Sheldon Harnick's story of the first times letting people hear Sunrise, Sunset - played for Jerrry bock's wife and then Sheldon's sister -- and they cried.

People should use UTC more often. As a person who had to deal with time issues in programming, "what time is it" is a very non trivial question!

First you'd just use UTC, especially when scheduling international streaming events (like Continental Subway)... this would both be accurate and tell people it's an inter-temporal event! People can just ask their digital assistants to schedule it for them or translate the time.

Had a Vonnegut immersion when I was 15. Started with Slaughterhouse Five, then about five others in high school on my own and in class reading. Only a couple after that, though.
In a local park with someone much younger during a theater perfomance last summer, we saw a big asterisk spray-painted simply and roughly on the side of a large concrete pipe waiting to be installed in the ground, and then realized we'd both had the identical thought: the simple rendering looked like Vonnegut's depiction of the ol' human A-hole in his drawings for Breakfast of Champions.

Didn't know Breakfast of Champions was a movie, tho I haven't seen Slaughterhouse Five yet either, so I should probably start with that.

Greetings Jeff! Yes, BoC was a movie that got terrible reviews, but which Kuba and I both seem to think was okay.

Just saw the trailer...looks more intriguing than I found the book. May be better suited to the medium than to print.

@βrian: SUper duper happy bday! Also my wife's bday, and half of her design team lost their jobs today (including her). Four years ago she got laid off a week before her bday. (and we just renewed our Brooklyn lease two weeks ago)

Oh, no. Vonnegut was most certainly best manifested via print. Or, at least, ink on paper.

Vonnegut: a bunch of his short stories were turned in to the PBS film "Between Time and Timbuctu", which is great. Happy Birthday, Wanda June and Mother Night are also out there as films.

But the time is right to make The Sirens of Titan - please cast Jeremy Irons as Winston Niles Rumfoord.

It is pronounced that way, I heard him pronounce it at BAM once.

Yes, re Reich's name. I only discovered that after years of mispronouncing it.

melinda:

I never had a Vonnegut immersion. But I did fall for a Vonnegut fake-out in college. Someone wrote in chalk on the sidewalks of the Pentacrest (U of Iowa's equivalent a quad) that Vonnegut would be speaking there at a later date. After a large crowd had gathered the prankster responsible announced from the steps of the old capitol building that we were all suckers and ran off. I saved the campus newspaper photo of the assembled crowd.

Wait what is the correct pronunciation? I missed it.
