Unpopular opinion: I'm actually okay with football game days (I live 2 blocks from the #UofU stadium) because it's nice to live in a neighborhood that's mostly quiet but occasionally pretty lively

Seeing this poster sent me down a rabbit hole of remembering some things that I had forgotten about #Utah, and teaching me some new things that I hadn't previously known:
My first thought was: this is weird, why was there a Typographical Association in (Great) Salt Lake City in 1856, less than 10 years after White people first settled here in any numbers‽ Seems like a weird priority for a religious frontier town. And it's big enough to have a festival? With dancing! and supper! Maybe 'Typography' at the time was understood to include 'typesetting'? That might make sense, press might be a priority.
But no: this organization was for the promotion of the Deseret Alphabet[1]. See, the Mormon pioneers had a plan to fix English spelling by creating a new orthography for the language. They are not the only ones who wanted to do this, and their Deseret Alphabet was based on Pitman's shorthand[2]. One of the weird twists in this story is that the folks who developed the Deseret Alphabet were the Board of Regents for what eventually became the Utah System of Higher Education (the #UofU and its siblings). That's right, other state schools, do YOU have your own alphabet?[3]
The other truly amazing thing on this poster is the price. It may be hard to read so: the price is listed as "$3 per Couple ... Additional Lady $1". Why would that be? Could it be - polygamy‽

[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitman_shorthand
[3] The Deseret Alphabet never really caught on, though the Regents did attempt to get some local schools to teach it. It looks like the only book ever published in it was the Book of Mormon. But it's now in Unicode! -

Today in secret tunnel content: I'm now pretty sure the first steam tunnels were built in 1902, a year after the #UofU moved to its current location (previously, it was in downtown #SLC). My evidence for this is a photo from 1919 showing a heating plant directly northeast of the Park building (where INSCC is today), and a mention of that heating plant in the 1901-1902 general catalog; this year mentions the steam plant as a thing that will exist, the 1902-1903 one changes the language to imply that it's finished. I assume if they had the heating plant, they had the tunnels in place to move the steam.

With a bit of warmer, sunny weather this morning, it was a great chance to take a quick hike with some staff and students in the foothills above the #UofU campus. It was somewhat sunny when we started, and we got back just as the graupel started falling.
(Photo is panoramic, click to see the whole thing.)

Last week, I ran a panel with @dave_andersen and Cody Cutler covering the history of the Flux Research Group at the #UofU and testbeds like #Emulab, #CloudLab, and #PowderWireless . The video is now up: https://www.youtube.com/live/LUFp6sjKbkE?feature=share&t=15360
(This is a particular timestamp in a video that covers the whole day of talks about the 50-year history of the Kahlert School of Computing and by various alumni.)
