Absolutely. I think a lot of us have had those people in our lives. Jane says, we all know the story of Marie Curie and how much she gave to her career.
It's so warm and inviting-- It's so warm. Jane O'Connor, who was a consultant for the show, a school teacher, who also edited "Sesame Street Magazine," she-- I found the minutes to a meeting where she said,
to support and justify these true vision of the future of gaming. Jane McGonigal, for instance, uses numbers, a lot of numbers, to present her vision of how games can make us better people.She even has an estimate of how many minutes we should play video games in order to save the world.
Someone will call me up and they say, Jeremy, I went to that toilet paper aisle yesterday and I thought about you. Jane Lubchenco calls it global warming's evil twin.
Someone will call me up and they say, Jeremy, I went to that toilet paper aisle yesterday and I thought about you. Jane Rosenthal, the genius that put this together.
A long time ago, way back in history, when water was the only drink as far as the eye could see, along came a lass by the name of Carley Jane -- That's me! --and she invented a wonderful drink and she made it out of grain.Oh, she could have been a cavewoman, a goddess, or queen.
The game of husband and wife was even less fun than she supposed. Jane , her daughter, at least, turned out to be an unexpected mercy, a tidy bouquet in her arms.Over the years, life on Orchard Street passed into a tedium that eventually congealed into comfort.
William Blake, one of the most revered poets in the English language, disappeared from the canon for a long time. Jane Austen herself was-- and I'm trying to see if you're paying attention, because it's misspelled there-- Jane Austen was one of several novelists in her era,and she was not thought to be the best.
Kurt started writing short stories while he was at Fort Riley and sending them to Jane . Jane would edit them and retype them up and mail them to editors at magazines.And I just like this.
OK. So then don't be a pussy, Tim. Jane helped me. She gave me her underwear and we called my parents and I got home around 10:30-ish.Why would the lawyer say that?
But Jane Addams is really key here. Jane Addams is most famous in American history for founding Hull House and being kind of one of the founders of modern social work, in a way,working with immigrants and poor people in Chicago.
But her intersection with this tradition of education is worth spending a couple of minutes on. Jane Addams was born a kind of well-to-do Midwesterner, wanted to go to college, wanted to get a real education.There weren't that many options for women at that time.
from the perspective of another person. Jane Addams was very interested in how you can have very smart people gathered around a table, gathered around an issue,and they seem incapable of compromise because of their unwillingness to sympathetically enter
And after that issue, they didn't put our names on the cover anymore. Jane 's Addiction-- this was right before the very Lollapalooza in 1991.They were doing a short, little tour.
But still, not just the obvious candidates. Jane is a reasonable person the next day.
Or I can lay down and gain a perspective that gives it a little more subject to work with. Jane Goodall, who you know through her work with chimpanzees, John Sawhill out of the Nature Conservancy, and
It's quite likely that the genetic variation applies to behavior as much as it does to metabolism. Jane Wardle did this study of nearly 4,000 or 5,000 twin pairs, and she was looking at neophobia, whether childrenlike new foods or don't like new foods.
I could zip around them instead. Jane let some light into that darkness, so I could realize it was not about the old me.It was about the here and now and making the new me work.
Jane Espenson: I guess we should say a little bit who we are and then we can talk about why we're inventing television.
Jane Espenson: I'm Jane Espenson, I'm one of the creators of "Husbands" which is, we're gonna show you a couple episodes of it and talk about it and how it is inventing television.
Jane Espenson: I have, I come at this from the TV side.
Jane Espenson: If you've watched, particularly if you've watched geeky, sci-fi TV you've definitely seen something I've written.
Jane Espenson: Absolutely. Brad Bell: It's the Indian Ocean and the Arctic Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean.
Jane Espenson: It's the Seven Seas.
Jane Espenson: Yeah, so, it started occurring to us, it didn't occur to us till we actually had "Husbands" out there, actually, that that we were in, we were in the big ocean.
Jane Espenson: Like it's just it's a big world.
Jane Espenson: I think.
Jane Espenson: We'd have to get out a tape measure.
Jane Espenson: But you were talking about the history, you looked up the history of the word television, the original promise of TV.
Jane Espenson: Vision. Brad Bell: You know?
Jane Espenson: Honolulu. Brad Bell: Okay, Honolulu, too.
Jane Espenson: Right. Jane Espenson: So the word television sounds like it was meant to apply to the worldwide web and when you actually go back and look
Jane Espenson: It's the original promise of television.
Jane Espenson: Yeah. So television, we, we, television is being invented now.
Jane Espenson: We worked very hard to try to make it match the quality of broadcast television in terms of production quality and, sort of, the process that went in to
Jane Espenson: Yeah and we started, you might ask why doesn't network TV make content that addresses issues like this or has, or if you enjoyed it why doesn't network TV make
Jane Espenson: And yet testing is still used so they're clearly not getting the information that they need to know about what to predict
Jane Espenson: Yeah, it's propagated this assumption.
Jane Espenson: We'll get the single women in their 60's; they're not changing their brands and stuff so?
Jane Espenson: People making comments.
Jane Espenson: Yeah, so I think networks are now sometimes saying, "We can't afford to be niche anymore because we'll only get this one audience" when it's not the case.
Jane Espenson: And, of course, this has become self fulfilling.
Jane Espenson: and just see how many people they can get not are those people who are, as we discovered when we put this up on Kickstarter, yeah, only a thousand donors.
Jane Espenson: Yeah if you were a TV show- Brad Bell: It's pretty good for 22 minutes but it's not an incredible number.
Jane Espenson: Yeah, so that's why TV doesn't make content like this, is that they're not, they're making these assumptions like, "Oh it'll get a small number of people and it'll
Jane Espenson: Well kids are sitting there playing video games till they fall over.
Jane Espenson: We should be, how can we achieve?
Jane Espenson: And TV has, because TV is, network TV, traditional TV has gotten so chopped up it isn't really about building community and that 70 percent of the way people are
Jane Espenson: Usually it's cause an initial like this, the things that you see Cheeks and Brady using design a lifestyle, a place, a hip place, hip people and sort of an aspirational
Jane Espenson: Right she had to figure it out.
