More Than Enough: A Conversation with Richard Michelson
"I was reading Maimonides (yes, I know how that sounds), the greatest Jewish philosopher of the Middle Ages, and realized he tackled the same issues in the 1100s." A talk about a book with much to say to all of us today.

Video Sunday: Proverbial cookies happen to go very well with axiomatic milk
Dwell not on the fact that you were unable to attend the Newbery/Caldecott Banquet whilst your fellows caroused to all hours of the night (or so I assume . . . I left when I felt sleepy, party animal that I am). Now you can feel like you were there in the supple flesh all […]

Fusenews: At the sign of the big yellow fuse
Ain’t he just the sweetest thing?

Video Sunday: Featuring world famous cheesy animation technology

Unfortunately, he spends a goodly time of his life in Japan without access to email (or so I’ve been told). Fortunately, (this is turning into a Remy Charlip book) he recently made this […]
Fusenews: The Opposite of Avatar
Wonka Opera. Hard to say. Harder still to see since the darn thing keeps closing. NPR recently had a great story on the opera Golden Ticket, and the various trials it underwent in a bid to be seen by the masses. The world premier is now going on at the Opera Theatre of St. Louis. […]
