I caught a wonderful link tonight from Lisa's blog to a Washington Post article about virtuoso violinist Joshua Bell busking in the L'Enfant Plaza metro stop in DC. The gig was for Bell to play incognito during morning rush hour to see how passer...

more tea, please

"Meanwhile, let us have a sip of tea. The afternoon glow is brightening the bamboos, the fountains are bubbling with delight, the soughing of the pines is heard in our kettle. Let us dream of evanescence, and linger in the beautiful foolishness of...

error handling

2007-06-21T22:38:51Z

Buried Beds

I've been listening to a few songs from the Buried Beds's album "Empty Rooms" album over and over in the last few days. Eliza Hardy's voice is amazing; "Insomnia" and "Camellia" are hauntingly gorgeous. Highly recommended.

Bork bork bork

2006-12-24T23:26:51Z

On a lighter note, I remembered a google feature about which I'd forgotten today. Namely, you can set your language to "Bork, bork, bork!", rendering all prompts and standard google links in Swedish Chef-speak. Other languages of note: Elmer Fud...

The Obama DNC Speech

2006-12-23T03:36:02Z

I watched Barack Obama's speech from the 2004 DNC for the first time today. I was floored, astounded at the richly nuanced, socially just, inspired vision of America he presents. He describes the America I want to live in, the country I'd feel p...
