Dear Data

alert reader, jean's brother, sent the link to this article that blew me away. it is so beautiful on so many levels....i won't even try to describe it, you just have to read it yourself. or, not. there will be no quiz.

and one more reminder that if you ever need to surf, brain pickings.com is a good place to start.





if i were stranded on a desert island and could only view one site for the rest of my life, i would choose brain pickings. if any of you are saying, "oh, i would choose jean's blog"  you need to rethink that comment. i like my blog - but it is not anywhere near desert-island-worthy. unless the island came with a fully loaded art studio and a postal system that actually worked. and if it had that, i think you could maybe put stamps on yourself and mail yourself back to civilization.
