Extra credit Tech Tips. Now that you are looking at other people's blogs, you might get some ideas for features you want to add to your blog, and there are extra credit Tech Tips for blog design experiments.
Project Stack. As people turn in assignments over the weekend, I'll update the stack periodically so you can check the stack to make sure I received your email. Then, on Monday I'll start replying to the assignments in the stack based on the order in which they were turned in.
The following items are for fun and exploration:
Blog Stream. Here's something fun for Saturday: it's Lance's Introduction post, and it contains... a palindrome!
Free Audiobook. Today's free audiobook is Oedipus, King of Thebes translated by Gilbert Murray .
Featured Storybook. Here's another Storybook based on Greek mythology: The God Hephaestus. The god Hephaestus needs you to understand what the gods of Olympus are really like, and he would know!
India Video. Back in 2018 there was a wonderful victory for the Indian gay rights movement this week (details at CNN), so I wanted to share this Epified video: Homosexuality in Ancient India.
And here is more coverage of the 2018 court decision at the BBC: Historic India ruling legalises gay sex.
Writing. Because you can never have too much English spelling humor.
And here's a thought about reading for those of you who are doing some reading this weekend.
And here some thoughts to open your perspective this weekend: Life From Above, and Beyond, from a talk by Alan Watts.
Event on Campus. There's a new exhibit that just opened at the Sam Noble Museum: Winged Tapestries: Moths at Large. The Museum is open from 10AM-5PM on Saturday and is free for students (details).
February 2: Imbolc.

When it is Imbolc in the northern hemisphere, it is the holiday of Lughnasadh in the southern hemisphere.
