Here’s a second concept course, though the idea is neither new nor mine, and maybe it’s not really a concept course if several people have done it. Still, I would really like to try this someday.

Last fall, Bill Turkel had a great blog entry calling for “concept projects” in academic history: like concept car prototypes or catwalk fashions, these would be imaginative efforts that need not prove wholly workable or utilitarian, but that might serve to get ideas into circulation, push the boundaries of the form, or, a la Thoreau, […]

You know Sorkin’s been talking about his Farnsworth story for the better part of a decade, right? It comes up all over his other work, Farnsworth gets an explicit shout out in SPORTS NIGHT, got killed as a movie development thing twice I think…

Hey yeah, I do remember the Farnsworth mention in Sports Night.
I think you know this already, but I should probably clarify for the benefit of others: “You’re stealing my bit” is kind of a catch phrase around here. I was not seriously suggesting that Aaron Sorkin stole the idea for writing a play about Farnsworth from a post on my LiveJournal.

And for the further edification of those who need it, you ironically nicked that catchphrase from Krusty the Clown.
I still think you should sue Sorkin, though — not for swiping your idea, but for Studio 60 sucking.
