    I loved the museum school bit!
    The humility article had some thought-provoking parts but I wildly disagreed with others (in short, charity that hurts to give is charity, but so is easy charity, even if the latter isn’t as personally meaningful to the giver).
    TV hack article interesting, but the kid in *Pump Up the Volume* didn’t intercept radio signals, he just put out some of his own without a license, as I recall.
    Yay MST3K Joel and the bots Thanksgiving photo!
