The Whites of His Eyes at JWU
Uncommonly Snowy The baby snowman with owl-like eyes, nestled in the statue’s lap, was reason enough, I guess, for me to make this photograph of the statue of longtime JWU Chancellor, Morris W. Gaebe. But what I really liked was the snow sticking to the “whites” of his eyes and the rolling-his-eyes impression those little [...]
A Day on College Hill at Brown University
Every April, Brown’s Admissions Office invites admitted students to a two-day overnight stay on the campus. ADOCH gives the students a chance to discover what Brown has to offer the students in the classroom and on campus.

Halloween Midnight Organ Recital at Brown
See the show. In one of the school’s most-loved traditions, Brown University organist Mark Steinbach performs his annual Halloween organ recital on the world’s largest Hutchings-Votey pipe organ in Sayles Hall. At midnight, students jam the old gym floor to listen to Steinbach’s Halloween-appropriate selections. Related Posts:No Related Posts

Stimulus Package lives!
Tonight, while googling around trying to figure out why Google refuses to crawl my pages, I ran across a mostly food blog by former Projo colleague, Ben Gedan. Ben had posted Stimulus Package, a fun little video David DelPoio and I put together last spring. Funny to run into it out there in blogland, but [...]
Video: Providence diner added to National Register. Or, is it just bacon porn?
If you’re into history: The Liberty Elm, a/k/a, the Central Diner, has been added to the National Register of Historic Places. The 1947 Worcester Lunch Car Diner is one of about 90 remaining diners of this style. The Central Diner moved from downtown Providence to Elmwood Avenue in 1953. After a series of owners and [...]
Providence diner video is history!
Whew! That was easy. Always a lot to learn with a new computer and software. Can you really not convert mp4s to flvs? Spending all day (and night) looking at bacon and eggs is killing me. I just might have to go get breakfast. Related Posts:Liberty Elm (video) has MovedVideo: Providence diner added to National [...]
Tavis Smiley
Tavis Smiley’s delivery of the annual MLK lecture is one of those Brown events that I feel lucky to have attended. Mr. Smiley is smart — wicked smaht — provocative and insightful. He challenged listeners, black and white or whatever, to reconsider how each one of us (Mr. Obama included) thinks about how we live [...]

The funky little diner was recently listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The 1947 Worcester Lunch Car Company diner first opened for business as the Central Diner in downtown Providence near the Providence Journal. The diner [...]
