Billie Holiday, in — karaoke? Please tell me this is a bad choice.
No, there’s not a link in this screen grab. I don’t think I want you to have it…

Signature of Richard P. Feynman (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
It doesn’t seem to me that this fantastically marvelous universe, this tremendous range of time and space and different kinds of animals, and all the different planets, and all these atoms with all their motions, and so on, all this complicated thing can merely be a stage so that God can watch human beings struggle for good and evil — which is the view that religion has. The stage is too big for the drama.

Planck length
Just when I think I know a bit of math, I find a new unit of length or something and then I realize I will never know any math.
Planck length – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Music. Again, and ever more again.
Of course, listening to the music in the previous post has started me going through an orgy of music listening, currently switching through various songs on Tommy.
I sit here with eyes half glazed over with one wish moving through my mind: I wish I was a DJ. Then and only then do I remember: I was.
In college, my extracurricular activity — other than Buck — was my job as a DJ at the college radio station, WRVU Nashville. Yes, it was the mid-seventies and female DJ’s were not really welcomed with open arms by the industry, but this was a college station down on the nether end of the dial, and besides, giving me my tim...

Jackie Leven and Global Warming
And now, we finally have February like it’s supposed to be in Ohio. I have been thoroughly enjoying the global warming and its effects on the local wintertime, what with its sun and its higher than normal temperatures. Yes, I would rather it were not so, and that the average temperature of the globe was wherever it’s supposed to be. However, as long as the good weather lasts, I shall enjoy it.
It did not last as far as today, and so I must soon venture out into the unpleasantness. This is the sort of day, I think, that was made with raincoats and boots in mind, even though there is no rain falling now.
To listen to tod...

Tired
, I said, of God and all his forms.
Would just sit there with no face between us, never looking in the same direction. Have to be looking at somewhere else than the other or creation cannot happen.</>

Now #reading … (experiencing?)
Silent History
This is not just a book — audio and pictures as well. I have only just downloaded it, so am still exploring.
It is a medical thriller / science fiction story that takes place thirty or so years in the future, and documents a growing number of young children who are born starting around 2011 and grow up never speaking.
Looks good so far.
