Piano nerding

Igudesman and Joo - Rachmaninov had big hands.

Antarctica

Gorgeous photo series from The Atlantic. Why is there so much magic in untamed places?

Oh yeah, I have a blog...

Has it really been more than three months? Yikes.

Songs I'm digging:

- Identity Cards - Grieves

- Cover Your Tracks - Young Galaxy

- Sleep All Summer - St. Vincent and The National

- Veteran - Dessa

Articles:

- Mind vs. Machine - a great article about the Turing Test, how machines imitate people, and what it means to be human.

- The Wolf At Our Heels: The Centuries-Old Struggle to Play in Tune - good for musicians and music nerds. If you're interested in how music works, what it means to play in a key, and why different keys have different sounds, despite being defined by uniform formulas, give this a read.

- The Elements of Clunk - thoughts on a new type of bad writing. The problem is mostly with efforts to fluff up prose to make it seem more impressive.

Etc.:

- Date A Girl Who Reads

- Poem: A Word On Statistics
