A missing piece of the puzzle
January 22, 2017
I've been puzzling over the rationale for some recent events... Exxon has a large contract to develop oil and natural gas resources in the Russia. This can only go forward if sanctions on Russia are lifted, which seems likely to happen in the near future. But, there is too much oil and capacity to…

The Aspen Art Museum is doing a series of interdisciplinary lectures, titled "Another Look" Another Look Lecture: Gabriel Orozco & Cosmology - so this is a thing. I did one of the lectures. The first one, I gather. It was quite an interesting experience, for me at least. Good fun, riffing on…

With five times as much of it as there is normal matter, and the fact that it doesn’t emit or absorb light but does interact gravitationally, it might seem like the perfect…
The One and Only Serbian Restaurant in Manhattan
A couple of times over the past few years I tried to find if there was a Serbian restaurant in New York City, but Google could not find one. So, I gave up looking and assumed there wasn't one. And that was true - until recently.
