I used the word "shall" in my previous post because my wife and I just finished watching the 7-hour BBC adaptation of "Middlemarch" and I have George Eliot in my ear. Two thumbs up, BTW.

I participated in an interesting exercise with the head of a university mathematics department once Grad students were brought in and asked what things they would like changed in the department. They made many thoughtful observations Afterward, the Head complained extensively

RIP to Bill Atkinson, one of the greatest programmers who ever lived. At Apple he created MacPaint, QuickDraw, HyperCard and was a critical part of making the Macintosh magic. He co-founded General Magic - go watch that documentary.

Started a new blog - 'American Innocence' - about my new life in America, my observations about culture, politics, way of life here. In my first post I ask: if tragedies are so hard to watch because we feel a lot of it is avoidable why don't we have the same defenses in politics?
