Klezmer music at Bird & Beckett

Chelm Feelharmonic.jpgSome experiences are offline only. Amazon cannot deliver on this. Yes – the book I got for my friend was a full 30% plus tax more expensive than online and I had to go there and get it. But then I had a nice chat with Eric and showed my daughter a real bookstore – “what they had in the old days”, as she calls it.

It is unlikely that Amzon is opening a neighborhood bookstore that sells Trotzki, Jung, and Children’s books new and used anytime soon – where you can sit on the floor reading and listening to the Klezmer Music performed by the pretty mixed group of the Chelm Feelharmonic.

Jazz most Friday evenings.

Cum hoc ergo propter hoc

Just because everything is related to everything else does not mean it is caused by everything else. Businessweek has a nice collection of statistical graphics showing how everything can also be explained by everything else.

Not Really Real – Two Cities

Recently I received a link to a wonderfully real video of Vienna

Vienna Airlines Motionride – Full CG 3D Animation from immortal-arts on Vimeo.

that is completely computer generated.

And then a few days ago I received a link to wonderfully artificial video of San Francisco

that is completely real and shot in the city
