[Chicago] ChiPy is Awesome

[Yarko Tymciurak]

Thanks, ChiPy!

... for giving me the opportunity to talk for the first time, publicly,
about  both:

   - edX, within the context of the history of Computer Assisted
   Instruction;
   - Love - as a functional result of evolution;

I once heard Ernest Hemingway credited with saying something like:

"The difference between a successful writer and a failed one is this - the
failed writer looks at their first draft, and says *'This is terrible;
 I'll never be a writer!'*, but the successful writer says *'This is
terrible - I'm on my way!'* and revises."


I see where my talks were terrible, and I'm on my way!  Thanks for the
opportunity to present those first revisions!

Next batter(s) up!




Regards,
- Yarko
