The Permanent Renaissance

Welcome to my blog about how the arts and culture serve to expand our mental horizons. You might find me riffing about almost anything that interests me, which is to say anything multicultural and with some attitude. Typically, that means music, art and architecture, design, wine and food, gadgets and Open Source, science fiction and poetry, museums, or travel. But whatever the ostensible topic at hand, the point will be how it opens up new possibilities for what we can become.

One thing about me is that I'm creative (or sneaky) enough to bypass the default format for profile entries. Instead of clicking on the Favorite Books links in the lower part of my profile, just copy and paste them. "Si te dan papel rayado, escribe de traves." (If they give you ruled paper, write the other way.) -- Nobel-winning poet Juan Ramón Jiménez, Nov. 20, 1920

Thank you, Microsoft, for "upgrading" the capability of the video card on this PC so beautifully. If this screenshot of what I'm seeing on the screen right now is an example of the coding that's coming out of Redmond these days, perhaps it's time to change operating systems after 30 or so years or so of DOS and Windows.
