This course will entail the ins and outs of cascading style sheets. We can gather in person and/or online and read chapters from Christoper Schmitt's CSS Cookbook. Practical exercises that employ material from cookbook would be very good.

In this class, we would examine and discuss the book "Marx's Concept of Man" chapter by chapter. The text is available for free on http://www.marxists.org/archive/fromm/works/1961/man/index.htm
The workshop is being offered this weekend, on Saturday, October 15th.
Are you a Philly community activist? Do you realize that a lot of your online organizing (even information on your phone) is accessible to people, corporations, or government officials who might be interested in your activities? We want to educate community activists about ways to stay safer. Do you work on fracking? Prison issues? #OccupyPhilly? AIDS? Alternative media? This is for you.
Teachers:
Jonah Silas Sheridan, a California information security activist and trainer.
(Tentative) Roger Dingledine, Developer of Tor, software for staying safe online.

A class which looks closely at the 2011 article Vanity Fair by economist Joseph E. Stiglitz:

"Americans have been watching protests against oppressive regimes that concentrate massive wealth in the hands of an elite few. Yet in our own democracy, 1 percent of the people take nearly a quarter of the nation’s income—an inequality even the wealthy will come to regret."

Imagine a filmmaker retrospective experienced collectively and intensively in a group setting. I propose closing looking at a period of the career of Jean-Luc Godard, perhaps of his work from the 70's that has been most neglected, his enigmatic recent works, or the earlier more popular works if preferred. Most of his work has become available on DVD or the internet in recent years. Godard's oeuvre is arguably the richest in cinema with its play of stylistic innovation, intertextuality, cinematic expressiveness, and political interrogation. Screenings could be supplemented by critical texts, perhaps following Richard Brody's recent working biography as a guide. His feature films as well as shorts, television programs, video commissions, collaborations, and even commercials are all open for consideration.
