While I was on my blogging break, I missed the 200th anniversary of the birth of Hungarian composer Franz Liszt. You may not think you know who Liszt is, but you know his music.
I’m not quite sure how I stumbled onto the theme of stupidity in Episode 113. Perhaps I’ve just gotten tired of the way that the mass media, and that does include the bulk of our national politicians, treat us as if we will accept what they say without question. Worse, they treat us as it [...]
(This column originally appeared in the September, 2011 edition of Smart Girl Nation magazine, found here. Please check out the magazine, and past issues for more of my columns as well as some very good work by a bevy of very smart women!) I’m going to start this month’s column with a proposition that will [...]
This commercial amused me greatly. It won’t seem funny until you get almost to the end, but stick with it. The payoff is worth it.

I tried, three times in fact, and each time I got about a quarter of the way through the approximately eleventy-bazillion page novel and stopped from sheer exhaustion.

Space.com is running a poll asking reader which science-fiction series is “the most important…story ever told”. They’ve given three choices and, if you are at all a fan of the genre, you can pretty much guess what they are: Star Trek, Star Wars, and Doctor Who. I honestly don’t know that I’d consider any television [...]
