“I’m interested in truth and beauty….If your words aren’t truthful, the finest optically letter spaced typography won’t help. And if your images aren’t on point, making them dance in color in three dimensions won’t help….If you look after truth and goodness, beauty looks after herself.”
– Edward Tufte, on NPR
According to his former sex slave, Osama Bin Laden is obsessed with Whitney Houston. “He would say how beautiful she is, what a nice smile she has, how truly
Islamic she is but is just brainwashed by American culture and by her husband, Bobby Brown, whom Osama talked about having killed.”

Two of the songs on this list are going to be played at our wedding. Can you guess which ones? (MP3s for all 200 songs.)

Lynda put a couple updates on her page, including an advertisement for the “Writing The Unthinkable” workshop she’s doing in Madison, and a preview of her work-in-progress, WHAT IT IS:
Lynda sent me two or three pages of this, and it is going to be sweet, lemme tell you.
Alright, I’ll guess “I Can’t Explain” and “Wouldn’t It Be Nice.” Though by far the best song on the list is “A Change is Gonna Come”, it’s really not a wedding song.
wrong! but good songs!
i listened to “A Change” on the way to work…I love Sam Cooke. Everyone should own “Night Beat” and “Live At The Harlem Square Club 1963”
The song reminds me of some track by another composer which I really liked … can’t recall which :-/ anybody happens to know what track I am talking about?
