'Things You May Want To Know' Page
Data Island
Welcome, you are finally arriving on our real Landing Page. Don’t wonder too deeply that you are here. Or that the fantastic plane of your Mimagination has brought you to Data Island. “Must Writes” come to Data Island often, for they want to know what they write about next.
What you come to know here at this landing field is intended fuel to inflame your future expressions and help you realize what natures you have in common with others around the world. Don’t be surprised if you should hear shouters announcing your arrival: The Plane! Captain, the Plane! For we are excited to see that the magic sparkle of your Mimagination has brought you to the talent place that offers succulent quality and all the fanfares of science.
Thank you. It is our hope you will continue to be a friend of our newsletter, and become an editor if you should have some time. You are on the ground now, think and stay a while with us. (sic)

Looking For Young Writers
We are looking for 30 young global writers to edit and learn to produce two science newsletters.
The number of words each writer is required to give is no more than 1,000 per issue. the two single requirements for each youth is that they have the writing discipline --and want to know things.
Go Here! Write Here! Know Here! www.thedatasociety.weebly.com
If you start here you can eventually land on all six websites that have to do with The Data Society.

That's It!
$2.50 That's it, for 10 pages (this issue, we are adding more pages next issues), and we want your submissions. Our thought here with this pricing is: What abut the poor? We who have some 'thinking days' are always concerned about the poor. So in thinking about them we conclude: surely, they must write and have something to say about science, --and want to know things.
Touch Column
One of the
most touching things about science is the thrill that comes with our first
of-age meeting with science,--that knowing touch of science in us. Because it
was so unexpected, nothing else can quite match that wow. In today’s tech society it is quite expected
that science will advance and enlarge—and take us with it. A good wow, yes.
Some years ago, during our first attempts at newsletters the paper way, we added the touch column; in meetings we would get all mushy about how science found us and when and, of course, dearingly remembering watching Mr. Wizard’s show.
And so it started that this column commemorates all the good that Mr. Wizard did. How he touched us with such simple experiments. His superb telling of what these observed physics meant really got us on for life.
Touch Column also is a favorite place to give Bill Cosby his well done word roasts, because not a few of us writers remember how his explanations of things in life thrilled us for years. (whisper: some of staff had watched his Picture Pages while in diapers)
If you see our outlandish use of words in this column or during our Data Days Workshops, it will be just us and our attempt to comediatize, stimulate, and ‘throw physics over the water tower.’ Happy birthday, Cos; before you pass on.

Under Construction
It is not our style to say, "This Page is Under Construction." If we stand someplace, be it known we surely will say something. Check back in a day or so if the button you want to know is not active. We check all our buttons periodically to make sure they remain active once initiated. (Secret: we have a 9 year old IT guy whose job it is to do that maintenance)
I Say, I stand corrected!
It appears that I was wrong about the day the Universe Game was invented. After some review with early members of the DS5 group (1975) we were not on a camping trip in the Cascades when the U.G. was invented; that was the first time though which we did it while in extreme science danger (wonderment afoot, and first time campers to the wild). The first time we ever incepted the U.G. was out of necessity while 8 youth waiting for Hoagy's Corner to make our sandwiches became so loud with their togetherness that your Editor in Chief didn't want the establishment to kick us out before we ate our handsome meals. So we banded two tables, side on side, and went around with the questions. Thinking sobers the mouth and the mind. Order was achieved. Sandwiches were served. But what happened next was the clamor which followed two weeks later when we returned to that city. Youth who remembered the game begged to do it again--for the 'newbies' standing with them. And now it has become a mainstay of The Data Society's Data Day Workshops.
Now you know some of the rest of the story.

If you see (sic) following the last sentence of an item or column, in general, we want you to think that each word in that section of the writing is meant to be there, spelled and put in play with a weird though profitable purpose, --and with literary license from the cloud overseer. Who ever that might be.
