It makes me both happy and sad to find (in my father’s dresser drawer) my father kept trivial things such as this note-on-a-puzzle I penned for him before the start of my second semester of college.
Great use of technology & Twitter:

Arts matters:
Caught two arts-related items today – reminders of why young people's study of music (and exposure to music and other arts disciplines) is so valuable:
- National Endowment for the Arts 2008 Survey of Public Participation in the Arts: http://tr.im/oHeq (via @GettyMuseum)
- Study of U.S. 8th graders finds student achievement in music & the arts “mediocre” [NYT]: http://bit.ly/1a4eVs8
Made the woman driving a red VW Beetle next to me smile when I told her the orange gerbera daisies on her dashboard brightened my morning :)
Buffalo’s Wright stuff:
The Martin Complex.
Following a 12-year restoration, Frank Lloyd Wright’s 1905 house for Buffalo's Martin family and new neighboring visitor center (designed by Toshiko Mori) make for a fine destination in upstate NY.
Wright stuff:
Seems fitting that the work of master designer Frank Lloyd Wright, father of the creator of Lincoln Logs, should be immortalized in the form of LEGOs, per wired.com. Special-edition architecture LEGO sets will showcase FLW’s Fallingwater and the Guggenheim Museum.
