Oh, brain.

People I really ought not to confuse: Pico della Mirandola and Tamara de Lempicka.

(I suddenly feel the need to draw the great chain of being in Art Deco style. And maybe animate it with a little Italian dude floating up and down the chain.)

Brainwave! Bill Watterson's 1990 Kenyon commencement speech is actually exactly what I need for my education unit! Hooray!

If anyone can think of more texts like that, which present education as more than just sitting in a classroom, I would love to hear them. Those of you who suggested Feynman, so far that looks promising, although I haven't read much yet.

Actually...can anyone think of think of Calvin and Hobbes strips specific to the ideas of education and school? I know there are some, but I don't know the comic well enough to immediately point to any. I should find an archive or a book of them...

Eeee!

Hem's soundtrack to Twelfth Night is streaming here. I pre-ordered the CD from Nettwerk, and was most displeased to find it wasn't shipping until the end of October. But now I can listen to it now! And it is lovely. The tracks are a bit shorter than I expected, but I guess it's incidental music for a play, so that makes sense.

And no Sally Ellyson singing, but Raul Esparza makes a pretty good substitute. And I love the orchestrations. So pretty.
