In February 2001, Bob Kull travelled to a remote island in the Patagonia wilderness with enough supplies to live alone for a year. He sought to explore the effects of deep solitude on the body and mind and to find the answers to the spiritual questions that had plagued him his entire life. With only a cat and his thoughts as companions, he wrestled with inner storms while the wild forces of nature raged around him. The physical challenges were immense, but the struggles of mind and spirit pushed him to the limits of human endurance. Solitude is the diary of Kull’s tumultuous year. Kull has also captured his journey in spectacular photographs, which he will show along with his talk.

Vacation Blogging (I should have done this in June!).
Covers what to do with all those photos and all those memories to keep them fresh forever. It's basically Blogging for Beginners, with added talk about mobile posting and internet cafes and photoblogging issues. Covers categories, tags, widgets, posting text, video, audio and images. FYI it's $150, and runs Saturday, August 16th. Six spaces, because this is going to be more personal and hands-on than even our regular courses.
You do not need to already have a blog to take this course: we will build one during the class. If you have vacation photos you'd like to use, please bring them on a USB drive or a CD. If you'd like to post video we will get you set up with a YouTube account during class.

This documentary will make you want to leave your job and go backpacking. Emmy award winning producer Brook Silva-Braga leaves his cushy gig with American TV network HBO and travels to 26 countries over 11 months with 5 pounds of clothes and 30 pounds of video equipment. Along the way he documents his experience within the fluid subculture of travellers who question the logic behind jumping too quickly or too deeply into the 9-to-5 tradition. Brook will be present for a Q&A after the screening. Get ready to quit your job and buy yourself a backpack. Brought to you by Hostelling International.
