@garyackerman This is one of the important differences between an 18 month trade school program where the Job market will be similar to when one started and a 4 year college where the economy may well have moved on by the time an entering freshman graduates. It is why I have been advising for quite some time for High school students who want to work in a specific industry to start with a focused program and "go back" for a 4-year or MA degree once they have some time in the industry.

Unfortunately, too many jobs still require overly broad 4-year degrees to even get ones foot in the door.

@MattFerrel @thejacenallen @LindaCollins11 I plan to vote for Dean Phillips on Super Tuesday (assuming he has not dropped out like all the good candidates always do before I get to vote)

I need a list of funny people on Mastodon. I like smart, now I need funny.

James Shields is the only pitcher in the 21st century to have 10+ complete games in a season. He had 11 for Tampa Bay in 2011.

The last pitcher to have 20 complete games in a season was Fernando Valenzuela when he had 20 in 1986 for the Dodgers.

@wnknisely So many people love this prayer. Why has no one written a musical setting for it?

John Rutter! (let the hateres hate, I like Rutter)

The Vice-Provost has been taking voice lessons from Monty Python.

And here is this years commissioned piece. It is trying very hard to be unique, but is succeeding only in being jarring.

My choir regularly sung Sir Christemas. The arguments that ensued over how to pronounce the Norman French were endless.

And another soloist pulls of a beautiful Wilcocks descant.

Oh One of my favorite carols "The Angle Gabriel"

I wish I could get American churches to sing O Little Town of Bethlehem to this tune.

that at the bottom of every left leaf the program says "please turn page quietly" but the script on the Kings College site makes a page turning noise for the digital program.

Now this is more my preferred style! O Radiant Dawn

Another 12-tone setting for Jerusalem, Rejoice for Joy. I know that it is *en vogue* in academic music theory right now, but I'd like some more traditional harmonies.

Not *my* favorite setting of Adam Lay yBounden but well done.

Ok, this boy reading Genesis is doing better than 90% of the adults who read in most churches most Sundays. And he is reading from King James on top of it.

"And let us hold in our heart all those who, even as we gather here, endure the depredations and travails of war"

Ok so the Perfect Pitch Brigade are telling me that OIRDC was pitched down a half step. I can't tell.
