[Edu-sig] OT - Disney Learning - again

[Arthur Siegel]

If I haven't yet clinched my reputation 
as a Usenet crank, this should do it.

Again, minding my own business - 
watching the Sunday afternoon golf match.

A new ad/announcement for Disney Learning 
Partnership with a URL ref - www.disneylearning.com 

To make a long story short, I register to get behind 
the scenes and there is essentially nothing there.  

Upcoming "events" listed are only  in November and December
 - I expect 2000, but no way to tell.  

December 10 - Dr. Alan Kay. Next December, last December? 

I had already downloaded a Kay presentation.  
If the guy didn't have Visionary on his business card, 
you'd have to cart him off.  Insanely pretentious 
presentation about the history of everything - the 
Gutenberg press, etc all ending in a pay-off of 
Goofy doing something on a squeak screen. 

It costs serious money for these TV ads.

Little more surfing the site.  It was December 10, *1999* - 
and is an *upcoming* event on the schedule.  Probably
in fact the one I looked at some time ago.

*Today* they spent serious money promoting this 
hopelessly neglected site.

What is the agenda here???????
