Good morning.

I'd like to welcome all you hear my name
to Crawford and this is all my fault.

What we're going to do today is what
I refer to as Walden remediated

which means we're going to present
all of Walden in forty nine minutes

which means I have to talk very quickly to
tell you a little bit about this course

this is an honor seminar
we're studying throw

specifically we're studying throw as
he rusticated himself to Walden Pond

even more specifically we're studying
the row as the person who built the house.

How did he build it what
with the tools necessary.

All that sort of thing when the first time
of the class did was try to figure out

how did he build this house he describes
the rough the mentions he describes as

labor but gives no real detail on
how it actually he constructed it.

And so what we have around the room and
these we put up later are posters

developed by four different teams
proposing a way to timber frame out

the structure so that was the that's
the that's the original assignment.

What we are hoping of intially to do in
this class is actually build a replica or

at least timber frame up a replica
of the rose house using only one

hundred centuries of the kinds of tools
the throw would have used which means

we're cutting the trees down with axes
we're doing them with ads is etc.

We'll see how it works.

I spent the weekend ads ing and
I have blisters on my hands prude.

What we're going to do today
simply is try to run through

wildness quickly as possible
in the Pecha Kucha format for

those unfamiliar with that a Pecha Kucha
is twenty slides twenty seconds per slide.

So you get six minutes and

forty seconds to cover a particular issue
we divided walled up into seven sections.

Consequently we have forty.

Well with twenty second transitions
we got forty minutes between each and

I hope you enjoy this particular format
if you're interested or intrigued by it.

There is a group in Atlanta referred to
as the Atlanta pet you could show you can

Google that they present once a month
on a Sunday evening at the octane and

I believe they presenting the first one of
the season is this coming Sunday September

twentieth again and Octane and one of the
members of the class is going to present

a pitch of about how to actually
I don't know what with the road.

Do you know what I'm not
quite sure what exactly.

It's going to be but
I'm sure it'll be interesting.

Just quickly I'd like to
thank specifically the I'd

like to thank the library for
putting up with us and

specifically I'd like to thank
Charlie Bennett who has been involved from

the very beginning of this class and the
plans for this class back in the spring.

He's actually in the syllabus.

We've been working very closely
with him he's helped us in other

projects in the past.

And I would also like to take just a brief
moment to talk about somebody else another

member of the library staff
who was vitally interested in

this particular project and
I refer to Daryl McClure

who many of you probably know
passed away this past weekend.

They're all and I got to be good friends
when we built a mad house our house over

in nearly lobby and he laughed as we
carried the panels through and as we

got interested in working on this project
as I talked to Charlie and I told him

about the possibilities of maybe bringing
some timbers and put something up here.

He became very interested.

He always stopped.

He always asked me about it.

They're all really was the face of the
Georgia Tech library the first person he

saw when he came in and
we've all lost a remarkable friend and

I hope that you have him and
his family in your thoughts but for today.

What we need to do is remediate Walden So
take her away.
