Personalizing Education for the Planet at the Georgetown H.Innovation Summit →
Here’s a quick interview I did with my good friend Michael Wang, the newly-appointed (and first!) Chief Innovation Officer of Georgetown University, on the Knewton blog. Mike recently organized the inaugural Hoya Innovation Summit, a two-event on Georgetown’s campus where a bunch of startups (Knewton, LivingSocial, Fog Creek, and more) discussed innovation and brainstormed ideas with faculty, students, and administrators.

Honeybunny, for you, I’ve got a mouthful
of soot. Sweetpea, for you, I always smell
like blood. Everything that touches me, Lovemuffin,
turns to salt. When I think of you
I see fire. When I dream of you
I hear footsteps on bones. When I see you
I can feel the scythe’s smooth handle
in my palm. Love, you got me
standing at attention.
Clutching my heart. Polishing guns.
Love, I got a piggy bank
painted like a flag. I got a flag
in the shape of a piggy bank. For you,
Sugarfoot, I’ve been dancing
the waterboard. You’re under
my skin, Love. Don’t know
what I’d do without you,
Love.—
Love, You Got Me Good

What need have I to fear—so soon to die?
Let me work on, not watch and wait in dread:
What will it matter, when that I am dead
That they bore hate or love that near me lie?
‘Tis but a lifetime, and the end is nigh
At best or worst. Let me lift up my head
And firmly, as with inner courage, tread
Mine own appointed way on mandates high.
Pain could but bring from all its evil store,
The close of pain: hate’s venom could but kill;
Repulse, defeat, desertion, could no more,
Let me have lived my life, not cowered until
The unhindered and unchastened hour was here.
So soon—what is there now for me to fear?—

AEneid, iv. 604
