oregon commission for the blind

the oregon commission for the blind has a short poem in braille on the hand rail outside their building cast in bronze by keith jellum in 2008. it reads:

The brash, strutting crows
Impress themselves

Aloft in the wind.

i noted this some time ago, but it’s a riddle for me. why this poem in particular?

clean energy talk

just watched president obama talk about clean energy at a presentation at mit yesterday. the talk is thirty minutes in total; including the first seven minutes of introductions and the national anthem.

he has some cute mit specific jokes to start, and is overall fairly sweet to mit.
