'New Scientist' is carrying an interesting article this week on gravitational memory, which also has an electromagnetic counterpart.

There are tests planned using "short pulses into very long antennas".

Some background here:

Elliot Reid, Peter Sellers and Benny Goodman arrive in Washington to perform at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, April 1962.

The #BBC Proms is underway and French horn player Felix Klieser will be making his debut on August 2 playing Mozart's Horn Concerto No. 4. The German virtuoso performer was born without arms, so he plays the instrument with his left foot. He spoke to the BBC's Access All podcast about his exceptional career.

Albert Einstein's advertisement for his private tutoring services in math and physics, including a free trial lesson

'Everything is determined, the beginning as well as the end, by forces over which we have no control...

Human beings, vegetables or cosmic dust, we all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible piper.'

I still need to add some short blurbs about each chapter, but here's the website for Exploring Graph Theory With Julia, complete with my lazily-designed temporary cover "art": https://leanpub.com/exploring-graph-theory-with-julia

I would love to know if this book sounds interesting to you!

I know I have very little ground on which to comment on the beauty of a typeface, but this variable font is *SO GOOD* and I really wish I’d found it before “CSS: The Definitive Guide, 5th Edition” published a month back, because it would have been **perfect** for the examples in the Fonts chapter.

Try out all the features and variability of Elstob at https://psb1558.github.io/Elstob-font/, which also links to a Github repository where you can get it.

It's weird to distrust your own brain.

I'm at an awkward stage of #LongCovid recovery, where I can do many things, but some, like music composition, are beyond me. I can noodle with instruments and it sounds good in the studio, but I can't seem to assemble the components into structural wholes. I'm trying to accept how I am, of perhaps how I'll remain, while still trying to progress musically. It's weird and frustrating, the part of my mind that went away.
